"Systems of Commercial Turbofan Engines" gives the reader information about the operation of the engine systems, its components and the terminology used throughout the industry. The engine systems are explained by the use of examples from today's engines. So the readers, from aircraft mechanics to commercial pilot, become familiar with the current technology in this field and attains a deeper knowledge of the systems of commercial turbofan engines.

To understand the operation of gas turbine engines used in aircraft, it is not enough to understand the basic operation of a gas...

"Kraftfahrzeugfuhrung" umfasst alle Aspekte der Kraftfahrzeugtechnik, die die Eigenschaften und Grenzen des menschlichen Fahrers einbeziehen. Es sind Probleme der Ergonomie, aber auch Fragen nach einer nutzerorientierten Schnittstellengestaltung. Erst die Kenntnis und Simulation des Fahrerverhaltens kann die Simulation technischer Systeme realitatsnah ermoglichen und Fragen einer optimalen Fahrzeugautomatisierung bis hin zu den verkehrspsychologischen Aspekten erschliessen.

Das Buch behandelt die Rollenverteilung von Fahrer und Assistenzsystemen, die Informationsverarbeitung und...

This volume features the contributions to the 15th Symposium of the STAB (German Aerospace Aerodynamics Association). Papers provide a broad overview of ongoing work in Germany, including high aspect ratio wings, low aspect ratio wings, bluff bodies, laminar flow control and transition, active flow control, hypersonic flows, aeroelasticity, aeroacoustics, mathematical fundamentals, numerical simulations, physical fundamentals, and facilities.

This volume presents an integrated approach of the common fundamentals of rail and road vehicles based on multibody system dynamics, rolling wheel contact and control system design. The methods presented allow an efficient and reliable analysis of the resulting state equations. The book provides also a better understanding of the basic physical phenomena of vehicle dynamics. Particular attention is paid to developments of future rail and road vehicles including motorcycles.

This work serves as a reference concerning the automotive chassis, i.e. everything that is inside a vehicle except the engine and the body. It is the result of a decade of work mostly done by the FIAT group, who supplied material, together with other automotive companies, and sponsored the work. The first volume deals with the design of automotive components and the second volume treats the various aspects of the design of a vehicle as a system.

The aim of the book is to be a reference book in automotive technology, as far as automotive chassis (i.e. everything that is inside a vehicle except the engine and the body) is concerned. The book is a result of a decade of work heavily sponsored by the FIAT group (who supplied material, together with other automotive companies, and sponsored the work). The first volume deals with the design of automotive components and the second volume treats the various aspects of the design of a vehicle as a system.

Die Ortung und Navigation mit Hilfe von Satelliten steht an einem Wendepunkt. Mit dem europaischen Satellitennavigationssystem GALILEO ist die Entscheidung fur ein eigenes europaisches Navigationssystem gefallen, das neue Massstabe setzt und der europaischen Wirtschaft nachhaltige Impulse geben kann. Wie funktioniert GALILEO? Warum brauchen wir dieses System? Welche Anwendungen werden damit moglich? Diese Fragen beantwortet das Buch und stellt den aktuellen Wissensstand zu diesem Thema dar, einschliesslich der mathematischen Grundlagen."

The aerospace industry increasingly relies on advanced numerical simulation tools in the early design phase. This volume provides the results of a German initiative which combines many of the CFD development activities from the German Aerospace Center (DLR), universities, and aircraft industry. Numerical algorithms for structured and hybrid Navier-Stokes solvers are presented in detail. The capabilities of the software for complex industrial applications are demonstrated.

Semi-active Suspension Control provides an overview of vehicle ride control employing smart semi-active damping systems. These systems are able to tune the amount of damping in response to measured vehicle-ride and handling indicators.

Two physically different dampers (magnetorheological and controlled-friction) are analysed from the perspectives of mechatronics and control. Ride comfort, road holding, road damage and human-body modelling are studied.

Mathematical modelling is balanced by a large and detailed section on experimental implementation, where a variety of automotive...
