Concurrent engineering is well-established as an approach to engineer product parts. However, the concept has much broader application. Complex Systems Concurrent Engineering: Collaboration, Technology Innovation and Sustainability demonstrates how concurrent engineering can be used to benefit the development of complex systems, to produce results that sustain balanced stakeholder satisfaction over time. Gathered from the 14th ISPE International Conference on Concurrent Engineering, the collected papers cover all aspects of the sustainable and integrated development of complex...

The automobile is one of the inventions that has made a decisive contribution to human mobility, and consequently it has become an inseparable part of modern human society. However, it is through this widespread use that its negative impacts on the environment have become so highly visible. Achievements in improving the ecological characteristics of the automobile are highly impressive: a modern car emits only a fraction of the amounts of noise and exhaust pollutants produced by its predecessors 30 years ago. The contributions to this book were written by experts, most of whom have been...

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...

Most innovations in the car industry are based on software and electronics, and IT will soon constitute the major production cost factor. It seems almost certain that embedded IT security will be crucial for the next generation of applications. Yet whereas software safety has become a relatively well-established field, the protection of automotive IT systems against manipulation or intrusion has only recently started to emerge.

Lemke, Paar, and Wolf collect in this volume a state-of-the-art overview on all aspects relevant for IT security in automotive applications. After an...

-Verkehr ohne Leittechnik ist wie Laufen im Dunkeln-, so der Autor. Verkehrsleittechnik soll die komplexen Verkehrsstrome der Straen- und Schienenverkehrsnetze zuverlassig steuern und regeln. Damit Personen und Guter sicher und zugig am Ziel ankommen, darf Leittechnik nichts dem Zufall uberlassen. Das Buch bietet die solide Grundlage zur adaquaten, nachhaltigen Modellierung von Verkehrssystemen und ihren technischen Einrichtungen.

"Compressor Instability with Integral Methods" is a book, to bring together the quick integral approaches and advances in the field for the prediction of stall and surge problem in compressor. This book is useful for people involved in the flow analysis, design and testing of rotating machinery. For students, it can be used as a specialized topic of senior undergraduate or graduate study. The book can also be served as a self-study material to those who keen to acquire this knowledge.

In brief, this book focuses on the numerical/computational analysis for the effect of distorted...

Dies ist der vierte, abschliessende Band eines Werks zu Faserverbundbauweisen. Die vorhergehenden Bucher befassen sich mit "Fasern und Matrizes," "Halbzeugen und Bauweisen," sowie "Fertigungsverfahren mit Duroplastmatrix." Hier nun werden die wichtigsten unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften der Faserverbunde behandelt und damit rundet dieses Buch den gesamten Bereich der Faserverbunde mit gerichteten Fasern ab. Gegenstand des Buches sind mechanische (statisch, dynamisch), temperaturabhangige, chemische, elektrische, konstruktive und wirtschaftliche Eigenschaften, sowie Streuung und...
