Shell-type structures can be found almost everywhere. They appear in natural forms but also as man-made, load-bearing components in diverse engineering systems. Mankind has struggled to replicate nature’s optimization of such structures but using modern computational tools it is now possible to analyse, design and optimise them systematically. Analysis and Optimization of Prismatic and Axisymmetric Shell Structures features: comprehensive coverage of the background theory of shell structures; development and implementation of reliable, creative and efficient computational tools for static and free-vibration analysis and structural optimization of variable-thickness shells and folded-plate ...
The volume includes papers from the WSCMO conference in Braunschweig 2017 presenting research of all aspects of the optimal design of structures as well as multidisciplinary design optimization where the involved disciplines deal with the analysis of solids, fluids or other field problems. Also presented are practical applications of optimization methods and the corresponding software development in all branches of technology.
In the field of mechanical engineering, steam turbine fault diagnosis is a difficult task for mechanical engineers who are confronted with challenges in dealing with copious amounts of uncertain information.
This book shares insights on post-processing techniques adopted to achieve precision-grade surfaces of additive manufactured metals including material characterization techniques and the identified material properties. Post-processes are discussed from support structure removal and heat treatment to the material removal processes including hybrid manufacturing. Also discussed are case studies on unique applications of additive manufactured metals as an exemplary of the considerations taken during post-processing design and selection. Addresses the critical aspect of post-processing for metal additive manufacturing Provides systematic introduction of pertinent materials Demonstrates post-process technique selection with the enhanced understanding of material characterization methods and evaluation Includes in-depth validation of ultra-precision machining technology Reviews precision fabrication of industrial-grade titanium alloys, steels, and aluminium alloys, with additive manufacturing technology The book is aimed at researchers, professionals, and graduate students in advanced manufacturing, additive manufacturing, machining, and materials processing.
Comprehensive and authoritative resource paving the way for the integration of machine-type communications (MTC) and satellite connectivity toward 6G era This book focuses on the integration of machine-type communications (MTC) and satellite connectivity toward the 6th generation of mobile systems (i.e., the “6G”). Integrating these two technologies, especially within the emerging direct-to-satellite (DtS) concept employing direct connectivity between an MTC terminal and a satellite-based gateway, will be critical in enabling the future Internet of Things (IoT) applications in remote areas with limited connectivity infrastructure available. To this end, the book delivers an in-depth anal...

Handbook of Post-Processing in Additive Manufacturing is a key resource on postprocessing treatments available for additive manufactured products. It provides broad coverage of the theory behind emerging technology, material development, functional characterization, and technical details required to investigate novel applications and methods and put them to use. The handbook presents experimental breakthroughs of novel methodologies that treat additively manufactured parts, which are suitable for demanding engineering applications. This handbook emphasizes the various types of post-processing technologies that can effectively eliminate the inferiorities of additively manufactured components. It also provides a collection of key principles, literature, methodologies, experimental results, case studies, and theoretical aspects of the different types of postprocessing techniques, along with different classes of materials and end-applications. This book is an ideal reference for libraries and post-graduate courses as well as the professional market, including, but not limited to manufacturing, mechanical and industrial engineering, and materials science.
