Classical synchronous motors are the most effective device to drive industrial production systems and robots with precision and rapidity. However, numerous applications require efficient controls in non-conventional situations.
Firstly, this is the case with synchronous motors supplied by thyristor line-commutated inverters, or with synchronous motors with faults on one or several phases.
Secondly, many drive systems use non-conventional motors such as polyphase (more than three phases) synchronous motors, synchronous motors with double excitation, permanent magnet linear...

Prepared by the Pipe Bursting Task Force of the Committee on Trenchless Installation of Pipelines of the Pipeline Division of ASCE

Pipe bursting is a well-established method widely used for trenchless replacement of existing pipe with new pipe of equal or greater diameter. This manual provides the best and latest practices for the design and construction of pipelines using pipe bursting methods, with a special focus on building pipelines under roads, railroads, and streets. This new manual will be useful for new and experienced engineers as it covers both introductory and advanced...

From the introduction: The economic importance of the cutting process may be appreciated by the single observation that nearly every device in use in our complex society has one or more machined surfaces or holes. There are several reasons for developing a rational approach to the cutting problem:1. To improve cutting techniques--even minor improvements are of major importance in high volume production.2. To produce products of greater precision and of greater useful life.3. To increase the rate of production and produce a greater number and variety of products with the tools available.In...

The general topic of the symposium follows mechanisms development through all stages of conception, modeling, analysis, synthesis and control to advanced product design.

This volume brings together the latest results in the field and celebrates a series of conferences that has been running for 40 years. The contributors and the editor are world leaders in their field.
