Studies in Nonlinear Aeroelasticity
ISBN: 9781461283973 / Angielski / Miękka / 455 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The great bulk of the literature on aeroelasticity is devoted to linear models. The oretical work relies heavily on linear mathematical concepts, and experimental results are commonly interpreted by assuming that the physical model behaves in a linear manner. Nevertheless, significant work has been done in nonlinear aero elasticity, and one may expect this trend to accelerate for several reasons: our ability to compute has increased at an astonishing rate; as linear concepts have been assimilated widely, there is a natural increase in interest in the foundations of nonlinear modeling; and,...

Automation and Systems Issues in Air Traffic Control
ISBN: 9783642765582 / Angielski / Miękka / 593 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In recent years, increases in the amount and changes in the distribution of air traffic have been very dramatic and are continuing. The need for changes in the current air traffic systems is equally clear. While automation is generally accepted as a method of improving system safety and performance, high levels of automation in complex human-machine systems can have a negative effect on total system performance and have been identified as contributing factors in many accidents and failures. Those responsible for designing the advanced air traffic control systems to be implemented throughout...

Mapping and Spatial Modelling for Navigation
ISBN: 9783642842177 / Angielski / Miękka / 357 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The successful implementation of applications in spatial reasoning requires paying attention to the representation of spatial data. In particular, an integrated and uniform treatment of different spatial features is necessary in order to enable the reasoning to proceed quickly. Currently, the most prevalent features are points, rectangles, lines, regions, surfaces, and volumes. As an example of a reasoning task consider a query of the form "find all cities with population in excess of 5,000 in wheat growing regions within 10 miles of the Mississippi River. " Note that this query is quite...

Heat Transfer in Radiating and Combusting Systems: Proceedings of Eurotherm Seminar No. 17, 8-10 October 1990, Cascais, Portugal
ISBN: 9783642846397 / Angielski / Miękka / 619 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Thermal radiation is an important phenomenon in many combustion processes ofpractical importance. This is especially so if the physical scale is large or the pressure is high, either or both of which features often characterize industrial equipment. Yet combustion analysts and engineers are often largely unfamiliar with the physics of thermal radiation transfer. This book focuses on the integration of heattransfer and combustion. These two subjects have traditionally been considered separate disciplines. In reality, the two are closely interwoven. The central purpose of the book is to...
