The strong and continuing increase in airtraffic, the plans to build supersonicair- craftsand hypersonicspace-transportsystems, the developments ofhydrogentech- nology, andthe generalconcern onglobalchangeshave raised questionson effects of emissions from air traffic on the environment and especially the atmosphere aboveand shortlybelowthe tropopause. What are the consequences of watervap- our emissions on the formation of high clouds and global c1imate?What are the possibleeffectsofemissions on the ozonelayerin the stratosphere and uppertro- posphere?Which technological developments can help...

Fur die 9. Auflage wurde der Band 2 des bewahrten Handbuchs vollig uberarbeitet und auf den neuesten Stand gebracht. Eine Aufteilung dieses Bandes in zwei Teilbande (A und B) wurde aufgrund des erheblich erweiterten Umfangs notwendig. Band A behandelt Seestrassen- und Schiffahrtsordnungen, Umweltschutzrecht sowie die politisch aktuelle Frage der Sicherung der Seefahrt und die volkerrechtliche Aufteilung der Gewasser. Ein Kapitel beschaftigt sich mit Havarieuntersuchungen. Teil II des Teilbandes erlautert Manovriereinrichtungen, -eigenschaften und das besonders wichtige Handhaben eines...

Fussganger als Opfer von Verkehrsunfallen rucken zunehmend in den Fokus der Verkehrssicherheit. Durch eine entsprechende EU-Gesetzgebung sollen auch diese deutlich besser geschutzt werden. Dafur werden Rahmenbedingungen geschaffen, die tief greifende Kenntnisse uber das Unfallgeschehen und die Verletzungsentstehung erfordern. Hier werden die Aspekte der aktiven und passiven Sicherheit von Fahrzeugen behandelt und entsprechende Losungen dargestellt.

Das Buch diskutiert den typischen Fussgangerunfall vor dem Hintergrund internationaler Unfallzahlen. Aufbauend auf...

More than one million robots are now being used worldwide. Many robots have been built for manufacturing purposes and can be found in factories around the world. The focus of this book is on Pick and Place robots which are used for assembly processes. The main application of these robots is the placement of electronic components on Printed Circuit Board (PCB). When hundreds of electronic components of different shapes and sizes have to be placed at specific positions on a PCB, finding an optimal robot traveling path is so complex and time consuming. The aim of the current book is to introduce...

The objective of this book is to modify and improve the Static Head Restraint test bench in order to make it more convenient, safe and efficient too. Also the discussions followed by conclusions are made to make the test bench FMVSS 202A enabled. As a whole, through this project, a big contribution has been made to the Static Head Restraint testing machine by improving the machine in many aspects. Along with the various improvements done, suggestions on the bases of various calculations have been given to implement the new test procedure (FMVSS 202A) on the same test bench. The modifications...

The papers contained in this Volume of Proceedings have been collected from an international Workshop entitled 'Mission Design and Implementation of Satellite Constellations' which was held in Toulouse, France, in November 1997. This Workshop represented the first international gathering of the specialists in this currently very active field of research activity. The initiative to organise a Workshop around this theme was conceived during the Congress of the International Astronautical Federation (IAF) in Beijing, China, in October 1996. On that occasion, the IAF explored concepts and...

Microsystems are an important success factor in the automobile industry. In order to fulfil the customers' requests for safety convenience and vehicle economy, and to satisfy environmental requirements, microsystems are becoming indispensable. Thus a large number of microsystem applications came into the discussion. With the international conference AMAA 2001, VDI/VDE-IT provides a platform for the discussion of all MST relevant components for automotive applications. The conference proceedings gather the papers by authors from automobile suppliers and manufacturers.

Diese bislang einzige einfuhrende Fachbuch in deutscher Sprache behandelt die Grundlagen zur Entwicklung von Flugtriebwerkssystemen, zur Ermittlung ihrer Leistungscharakteristiken sowie weitergehende Betrachtungen uber das Funktionsverhalten und uber die Berechnung und Ausfuhrung einzelner Triebwerkskomponenten. Die Darstellung ermoglicht dem Leser - ohne Beschaftigung mit Detailfragen - einen Gesamtuberblick uber die Grundlagen der Flugtriebwerkstechnik. Die zweite Auflage wurde uberarbeitet und aktualisiert."

The focus of this book is to present the latest aspects in the area of human behavior and its relation to planning of an optimal traffic safety. The contributions from authors in various disciplines such as scientists, medical practitioners, administrators and practitioners from the car industry examine how road-user behavior can cause accidents and how decision-makers from various sectors of society may influence road users' behavior. The development of modern vehicles and new traffic systems requires more sophisticated behavior and technology. New medical technologies such as improved...

This volume offers of the EU-funded 5th Framework project, FLOMANIA (Flow Physics Modelling An Integrated Approach). The book presents an introduction to the project, exhibits partners methods and approaches, and provides comprehensive reports of all applications treated in the project. A complete chapter is devoted to a description of turbulence models used by the partners together with a section on lessons learned, accompanied by a comprehensive list of references.

This volume collects contributions to the 14th Symposium of the STAB (German Aerospace Aerodynamics Association). The association involves German scientists and engineers from universities, research establishments and industry who are doing research and project work in numerical and experimental fluid mechanics and aerodynamics, mainly for aerospace but for other applications, too. The volume gives a broad overview of ongoing work in Germany in this field.

A good decade after the temporary end of attempts to make driving simulation into an accepted, productive teaching and training technology, new possibilities and chances are on the horizon, motivated by current EU legislation. The author has been involved, in terms of technology and content, in the development of driving simulators and has tracked their progress. This book attempts to take driving si- lation seriously as a technology for teaching and training, to demonstrate possible paths for future development and to promote the formation of a community as a basis for future success. The...

Les robots mobiles autonomes sont un sujet de recherche et de prA(c)occupation dans de nombreux domaines comme les manufactures et l''exploration spatiale. La planification de trajectoire est l''une des problA(c)matiques essentielles de l''autonomie des robots mobiles, elle a pour but de gA(c)nA(c)rer une trajectoire libre de collisions entre une configuration initiale et une configuration finale d''un robot. Dans cet ouvrage nous avons traitA(c) le problA]me de la planification de trajectoire sous trois aspects; un environnement entiA]rement connu, partiellement connu et complA]tement...

Supercharging the reciprocating piston internal combustion engine is as old as the engine itself. Early on, it was used to improve the high-altitude performance of aircraft engines and later to increase the short-term peak performance in sporty or very expensive automobiles. It took nearly 30 years until it reached economic importance in the form of the ef?ciency-improving exhaust gas turbocharging of slow- and medium-speed diesel engines. It took 30 more years until it entered high-volume automotive engine production, in the form of both mechanically driven displacement compressors and...

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) became very powerful engineering tool for the analysis of complex fluid flow problems, as it incorporates modeling of important flow effects, including turbulence, heat and mass transfer. Concerning the turbulence models, however, the majority of CFD codes stay within the two-equation eddy viscosity approach due to its numerical stability and robustness. Although in the past many advanced turbulent models have been proposed, for complex engineering problems they are seldom used because of the concerns about their numerical stability and computational...
