Innovations in Mechanical Engineering II
This book covers a variety of topics in the field of mechanical engineering, with a special focus on methods and technologies for modeling, simulation, and design of mechanical systems. Based on a set of papers presented at the 2nd International Conference “Innovation in Engineering”, ICIE, held in Minho, Portugal, on June 28–30, 2022, it focuses on innovation in mechanical engineering, spanning from advanced materials and composites, optimization of manufacturing and production processes, and converging issues and technologies in additive manufacturing and industry 4.0. It covers applications in the transport and automotive, and medical and education sector, among others. This book, which belongs to a three-volume set, provides engineering researchers and professionals with extensive and timely information on new technologies and developments in the field of mechanical engineering and materials.
Innovation, Engineering and Entrepreneurship
This book presents endeavors to join synergies in order to create added value for society, using the latest scientific knowledge to boost technology transfer from academia to industry. It potentiates the foundations for the creation of knowledge- and entrepreneurial cooperation networks involving engineering, innovation, and entrepreneurship stakeholders. The Regional HELIX 2018 conference was organized at the University of Minho’s School of Engineering by the MEtRICs and Algoritmi Research Centers, and took place in Guimarães, Portugal, from June 27th to 29th, 2018. After a rigorous peer-review process, 160 were accepted for publication, covering a wide range of topics, including Control...
Modelling, Monitoring and Diagnostic Techniques for Fluid Power Systems
This book covers the background theory of fluid power and indicates the range of concepts needed for a modern approach to condition monitoring and fault diagnosis. The theory is leavened by 15-years-worth of practical measurements by the author, working with major fluid power companies, and real industrial case studies. Heavily supported with examples drawn from real industrial plants – the methods in this book have been shown to work.
Pneumatic Drives
This book covers the whole range of today’s technology for pneumatic drives. It details drives for factory automation and automotive applications as well as describes the technology for the process industry like positioners or spring-and-diaphragm. In addition, the book examines several control strategies like binary mode cylinder drives or position controlled drives and computer aided analysis of complex systems.
Ciência, tecnologia e inovação na América Latina
A obra Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação na América Latina: Avanços e Experiências em abordagem Inter(Multi)Disciplinar é o terceiro volume da Coleção Interdisciplinar, e traz ao longo de seus capítulos importantes análises e reflexões contextualizadas, a respeito de inovações apresentadas em pesquisas interdisciplinares. Os textos compartilhados ao longo do livro mostram a importância da interdisciplinaridade e sua contribuição no cenário de pesquisas e para o avanço da ciência e tecnologia.
The Art of Game Design
Anyone can master the fundamentals of game design - no technological expertise is necessary. The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses shows that the same basic principles of psychology that work for board games, card games and athletic games also are the keys to making top-quality videogames. Good game design happens when you view your game from many different perspectives, or lenses. While touring through the unusual territory that is game design, this book gives the reader one hundred of these lenses - one hundred sets of insightful questions to ask yourself that will help make your game better. These lenses are gathered from fields as diverse as psychology, architecture, music, visual design, film, software engineering, theme park design, mathematics, writing, puzzle design, and anthropology. Anyone who reads this book will be inspired to become a better game designer - and will understand how to do it.
Engine Testing
This book brings together the large and scattered body of information on the theory and practice of engine testing, to which any engineer responsible for work of this kind must have access. Engine testing is a fundamental part of development of new engine and powertrain systems, as well as of the modification of existing systems. It forms a significant part of the practical work of many automotive and mechanical engineers, in the auto manufacturing companies, their suppliers suppliers, specialist engineering services organisations, the motor sport sector, hybrid vehicles and tuning sector. The eclectic nature of engine, powertrain, chassis and whole vehicle testing makes this comprehensive b...
Intelligent Quality Assessment of Railway Switches and Crossings
This book focuses on the latest scientific and technological advancements in the field of railway turnout engineering. It offers a holistic approach to the scientific investigation of the factors and mechanisms determining performance degradation of railway switches and crossings (S&Cs), and the consequent development of condition monitoring systems that will enable infrastructure managers to transition towards the implementation of predictive maintenance. The book is divided into three distinct parts. Part I discusses the modelling of railway infrastructure, including switch and crossing systems, while Part II focuses on metallurgical characterization. This includes the microstructure of in-field loaded railway steel and an analysis of rail screw failures. In turn, the third and final part discusses condition monitoring and asset management. Given its scope, the book is of interest to both academics and industrial practitioners, helping them learn about the various challenges characterizing this engineering domain and the latest solutions to properly address them.
