In this book, experts on textile technologies convey both general and specific information on various aspects of textile engineering, ready-made technologies, and textile chemistry. They describe the entire process chain from fiber materials to various yarn constructions, 2D and 3D textile constructions, preforms, and interface layer design. In addition, the authors introduce testing methods, shaping and simulation techniques for the characterization of and structural mechanics calculations on anisotropic, pliable high-performance textiles, including specific examples from the fields of...

Autonomy for Marine Robots provides a timely and insightful overview of intelligent autonomy in marine robots. A brief history of this emerging field is provided, along with a discussion of the challenges unique to the underwater environment and their impact on the level of intelligent autonomy required. Topics covered at length examine advanced frameworks, path-planning, fault tolerance, machine learning, and cooperation as relevant to marine robots that need intelligent autonomy.

In Space Debris Models and Risk Analysis the authors will provide the reader with a comprehensive background to understand the various sources of space debris, and to assess associated risks due to the current and future space debris environment. Apart from the non-trackable objects produced by historic on-orbit fragmentation events, several other sources of space debris will be outlined. Models will be described to allow the generation and propagation of the different debris families and permit the assessment of the associated collision risk on representative target...

Das Buch bietet einen besonders studierendenfreundlichen Zugang zur Spannungs- und Verformungsberechnung von Leichtbaustrukturen des Fahrzeug- und Flugzeugbaus. Aufbauend auf den Grundlagen der Festigkeitslehre wird insbesondere die Schubspannungsberechnung infolge von Torsion und Querkraft vertieft. Im Leichtbau verwendete mechanische Modelle sowie leichtbautypische Naherungen werden bzgl. ihrer Geltungsbereiche untersucht. Daruber hinaus werden Arbeits- und Energiemethoden sowie die Stabilitatstheorie fur Leichtbaustrukturen detailliert behandelt. Abschliessend wird das Erlernte zur...

This book is designed as an interdisciplinary platform for specialists working in electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles powertrain design and development, and for scientists who want to get access to information related to electric and hybrid vehicle energy management, efficiency and control. The book presents the methodology of simulation that allows the specialist to evaluate electric and hybrid vehicle powertrain energy flow, efficiency, range and consumption. The mathematics behind each electric and hybrid vehicle component is explained and for each specific vehicle the...
