Engineering approach to Workspace Design
ISBN: 9783639103960 / Angielski / Miękka / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Workspace design plays an important role in ensuring workers safety and welfare. The issue is more pressing in the manufacturing industry, where many workers must remain in a standing position, assume awkward postures, and perform repetitive tasks for extended periods of time. In this research, an electromyographic measurement technique was used to measure muscle activity on four back muscles: the trapezius p. descendenz, the deltoideus p. scapularis, the infraspinatus, and the latissimus dorsi. The results showed a statistically significant (p

Separated and Reattached Flows
ISBN: 9783639134063 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. An experimental program was designed to study the
salient features of separated and reattached flows in pressure gradients generated in asymmetric diverging and converging channels. Reference measurements were also made in a parallel-wall channel to facilitate the interpretation of the pressure gradient flows. A transverse square rib located at the start of convergence/divergence was used to create separation inside the channels. In order to simplify the interpretation of the relatively complex separated and reattached flows in the asymmetric converging and diverging channels, measurements...

Flow-Induced Crystallization of Polybutene-1
ISBN: 9783639137521 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Flow-induced Crystallization (FIC) is an important area in polymer processing and has since a long time been researched intensively. Here, the FIC study extends into the high flow rate range, comparable to that encountered in real processing, and considers two main flow types: shear and elongational. The second topic is to investigate the effects of several molecular parameters on the crystallization behaviour. Polybutene-1 (PB-1) was chosen as the research material because of its relatively slow crystallization kinetics, allowing observations to be made without too much difficulty. It is the...

Induced Current Electrical Impedance Tomography
ISBN: 9783639144352 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT), the
electrical properties of the various tissue types form the basis for monitoring or imaging physiological and pathological processes. The technique requires the applying of small magnitude electrical current into the object under investigation, measurement of the developing potentials on the surface, and solving the mathematically ill-posed, non-linear inverse problem, relating the measurements to the electrical properties of interest. This book describes the induced-current EIT (ICEIT) approach, in which current is applied into the...

Magnetic Levitation and It's Application to Telemanipulation
ISBN: 9783639144574 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Magnetic levitation technology has shown a great deal of promise for micromanipulation tasks. Due to the lack of mechanical contact, magnetic levitation systems are free of problems caused by friction, wear, sealing and lubrication. These advantages have made magnetic levitation systems a great candidate for clean room applications. In this work, a new large gap magnetic levitation system is designed, developed and successfully tested. The system is capable of levitating a 6.5(gr) permanent magnet in 3D space with an air gap of approximately 50(cm) with the traveling range of 20mm x 20mm x...

End of Life Vehicles as a priority waste stream and the Directive was introduced. Automotive companies are being pushed by environmental awareness and legislation to recycle, remanufacture and reuse components at the end of life. Within this scenario, a design tool is needed for vehicle design processes. Research has established the importance of developing a specific design tool to fulfil the current requirements of vehicle design. Hence, this book discusses a new design tool called Design for End of Life Value methodology for the... In the early 1990s the European Union identified

Fatigue Life of Steel Bridges
ISBN: 9783639143447 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Steel bridge structures are subjected to repeated cyclic stresses due to traffic load. The damage accumulation of these cyclic stresses can initiate cracks and lead to the fatigue failure of a bridge member. Generally, a certain safety level can be achieved by using the procedures specified in the AASHTO bridge design standards. However, changes in the service condition, such as an increase in vehicle weight and traffic volume, can impact the service life of a bridge structure. This book provides an evaluation procedure for fatigue reliability-based analysis of steel bridge structures. The...

Well Analysis in Naturally Fractured Reservoir Using Elliptical Flow
ISBN: 9783639149647 / Angielski / Miękka / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Naturally fractured reservoirs are anisotropic
systems whose flow characteristics depend on the fractures network. Their permeability variation is not only stratigraphic in nature, but is also caused by the fractures distribution, orientation and permeability impairment within the fractures caused by pressure solution or mineralization. The reservoir becomes more complex when both the matrix and fracture exhibit anisotropy and have the capability to flow into the wellbore as in the double permeability case. Well test analysis in these reservoirs has been based on the radial flow... Naturally fractured reservoirs are anisotropic

forefront of current materials research because of their novel and often enhanced physical, chemical and biological properties. These effects are pertinent to all classes of materials: ceramics, metals and polymers. Often times dimensionality effects are manifested as internal structure variations in polycrystalline materials. There are reports indicating that internal microstructural inhomogenities such as grain boundaries and porosity even in nanostructures can further enhance their performance metrics such as gas sensitivity, for...

Cleanup of Filter Cake Formed by Drilling and Completion Fluids
ISBN: 9783639160147 / Angielski / Miękka / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The flow initiation pressure (FIP) is used as an
estimate of the differential pressure (between the reservoir and the well) required to initiate production of oil or gas. The standard practice to measure FIP uses a constant flowback rate. This method is shown to be inadequate to measure the FIP. An improved flowback method, which uses a series of constant differential pressures, is used instead to measure the FIP. This method closely represents the constant drawdown between the reservoir and the wellbore. In addition the permeability during flowback is measured at increasing...

Modeling the Mechanics of Polymorphism in Bacterial Flagella
ISBN: 9783639102772 / Angielski / Miękka / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Bacteria like Escherichia coli and Salmonella Typhimurium use flagella for locomotion. Each flagellum is run by a motor located in the cell body, with a long slender filament of 0.01-0.015mm long and 20nm in diameter attached to this motor. A swimming bacterium has all its filaments helical in shape involving a frequent change of their chirality, pitch and radius. To explain polymorphism, a new coarse-grained continuum rod theory with two molecular switches based on the quaternary structure of the filament is proposed. A phase diagram for filament shapes is calculated and the response of a...

This book describes a comprehensive approach to identify and deal with real options "in" projects, that is, those real options (flexibility) that are integral parts of the technical design. It attempts to specify analytically the design parameters that provide good opportunities for flexibility for any specific engineering system. It proposes a two-stage integrated process: options identification followed by options analysis. The options identification stage discovers the design elements most likely to provide worthwhile flexibility, including a screening and a simulation model. Options...
