This monograph presents a simple and efficient two-relay control algorithm for generation of self-excited oscillations of a desired amplitude and frequency in dynamic systems. Developed by the authors, the two-relay controller consists of two relays switched by the feedback received from a linear or nonlinear system, and represents a new approach to the self-generation of periodic motions in underactuated mechanical systems.

The first part of the book explains the design procedures for two-relay control using three different methodologies - the describing-function method, Poincare...

This book presents comparative design as an approach to the conceptual design of structures. Primarily focusing on reasonable structural performance, sustainable development and architectural aesthetics, it features detailed studies of structural performance through the composition and de-composition of these elements for a variety of structures, such as high-rise buildings, long-span crossings and spatial structures. The latter part of the book addresses the theoretical basis and practical implementation of knowledge engineering in structural design, and a case-based fuzzy reasoning...

Das Buch ist mittlerweile zum Standardwerk der Technischen Dokumentation geworden. Die vom Autor aus der Praxis entwickelten Strukturen ermoglichen eine systematische Herangehensweise an die Erstellung von Technischer Dokumentation und fuhren schnell zu hochwertigen, anwendergerechten Anleitungen. Auch die 3. Auflage fuhrt das bewahrte Konzept weiter. Das Buch wurde komplett uberarbeitet, mit neuen Erkenntnissen des Autors angereichert und mit den aktuellen Normen und Richtlinien abgeglichen. Fast alle Beispiele wurden modernisiert. Ein neues Kapitel systematisiert die Voruberlegungen und...

With the increasing complexity and dynamism in today's machine design and development, more precise, robust and practical approaches and systems are needed to support machine design. Existing design methods treat the targeted machine as stationery. Analysis and simulation are mostly performed at the component level. Although there are some computer-aided engineering tools capable of motion analysis and vibration simulation etc., the machine itself is in the dry-run state. For effective machine design, understanding its thermal behaviours is crucial in achieving the desired performance in...

These proceedings gather outstanding papers submitted to the 2015 SAE-China Congress, the majority of which are from China, the biggest car maker as well as most dynamic car market in the world. The book covers a wide range of automotive topics, presenting the latest technical achievements in the industry. Many of the approaches presented can help technicians to solve the practical problems that most affect their daily work.

This book presents a number of new methods, tools, and approaches aimed to assist researchers and designers during the early stages of the design process, focusing on the need to approach the development of new interactive products, systems and related services by closely observing the needs of potential end-users through adopting a design thinking approach.

A wide range of design approaches are explored, some emphasizing on the physicality of interaction and the products designed, others exploring interactive design and the emerging user experience (UX) with a focus on the value to...

This textbook arms the reader with powerful techniques of Modern TRIZ self-training and real problem solving. It is designed as a simple and efficient, step-by-step crash course in primary TRIZ models based on the author's methods of extraction and reinvention, or retrieval of invention models from any real-life objects. Special content addresses the psychological support of the person during problem solving and promotion of the new idea to realization. The book introduces the so-called Theory of Developing the Creative Personality (TDCP), initiated but not completed by Genrikh Altshuller,...

This book consists of chapters based on selected papers presented at the EcoDesign2015 symposium (9th International Symposium on Environmentally Conscious Design and Inverse Manufacturing). The symposium, taking place in Tokyo in December 2015, has been leading the research and practices of eco-design of products and product-related services since it was first held in 1999. The proceedings of EcoDesign2011 were also published by Springer.

Eco-design of products and product-related services (or product life cycle design) are indispensable to realize the circular economy and to...

This proceedings volume contains papers that have been selected after review for oral presentation at ROMANSY 2016, the 21th CISM-IFToMM Symposium on Theory and Practice of Robots and Manipulators. These papers cover advances on several aspects of the wide field of Robotics as concerning Theory and Practice of Robots and Manipulators.

ROMANSY 2016 is the 21st event in a series that started in 1973 as one of the first conference activities in the world on Robotics. The first event was held at CISM (International Centre for Mechanical Science) in Udine, Italy on 5-8 September 1973. It...

Iwo Spru gibt einen Uberblick uber die Interaktion eines Kraftfahrzeugs mit einer nassen Fahrbahn sowie der hieraus resultierenden Fahrzeugeigen- und -fremdverschmutzung. Er zeigt, dass ein Verstandnis dieser Prozesse notwendig ist, um neben den klassischen, aerodynamischen Optimierungsgroen im Fahrzeugentwicklungsprozess durch Vermeidung der Fahrzeugverschmutzung einen Beitrag zur Sicherheit im Straenverkehr zu leisten. Die Erkenntnisse aus den vorgestellten Untersuchungen an einem Grundkorper als auch an einer Vollfahrzeuggeometrie dienen dem Autor als Grundlage fur die Weiterentwicklung...

Pierre T. Kirisci entwickelt eine Methode zur Modellierung mobiler Interaktionsgerate (mobile Eingabe-, Ausgabe- und Kommunikationsgerate) mit besonderem Fokus auf Arbeitssituationen in intelligenten Produktionsumgebungen. Ein wesentlicher Bestandteil der Methode ist ein Modellierungswerkzeug auf Basis eines Kontextmodells zur Beschreibung dieser Arbeitssituationen. Dieses Werkzeug ermoglicht die Erzeugung von Gestaltungsempfehlungen fur Produktentwickler in den fruhen Phasen der Produktentwicklung. Dadurch wird die Komplexitat und Diversitat intelligenter Produktionsumgebungen erheblich...
