This book focusses on additive manufacturing including many aspects, like vacuum assisted high pressure die casting, semi-solid metal casting, compressive and tensile forming processes, micro and nano machining, nanocomposite manufacturing, adhesive bonding, laser cutting and joining. Subtopics like modelling and optimization of manufacture processes, design for manufacturing strategies, development of new manufacturing technologies, design of novel manufacturing equipment, comparative case studies, cost and quality analysis, ecological aspects and destructive and non-destructive testing of manufactured components are also presented. The book provides a state of the art of engineering manufacture and also serves as a reference volume for researchers and graduate students using technological processes. This volume gathers selected contributions of the 1st International Conference on Engineering Manufacture 2022, held in Porto, Portugal, on May 5–6, 2022.
Functional Materials for the Oil and Gas Industry: Characterization and Applications discusses the latest techniques in characterization and applications of functional materials in the oil and gas industry. It provides an expert review of recent developments in a variety of materials, such as ceramics, composites, and alloys, and covers all major aspects relevant to the industry, including asset management (corrosion), operation (pipeline engineering), energy management, and applications in extreme environments. This book: Discusses modern characterization techniques, such as in situ TEM, SAXS, SANS, X-ray, and neutron tomography Covers conventional and advanced nondestructive techniques (ND...
This book introduces an innovative and high-efficiency technology for mechanical energy harvesting. The book covers the history and development of triboelectric nanogenerators, basic structures, working principles, performance characterization, and potential applications. It is divided into three parts: Part A illustrates the fundamental working modes of triboelectric nanogenerators with their prototype structures and theoretical analysis; Part B and Part C introduce two categories of applications, namely self-powered systems and self-powered active sensors. The book will be an ideal guide to scientists and engineers beginning to study triboelectric nanogenerators or wishing to deepen their knowledge of the field. Readers will be able to place the technical details about this technology in context, and acquire the necessary skills to reproduce the experimental setups for fabrication and measurement.

Corrosion of Aluminium highlights the practical and general aspects of the corrosion of aluminium alloys with many illustrations and references. In addition to that, the first chapter allows the reader who is not very familiar with aluminium to understand the metallurgical, chemical and physical features of the aluminium alloys. The author Christian Vargel, has adopted a practitioner approach, based on the expertise and experience gained from a 40 year career in aluminium corrosion This approach is most suitable for assessing the corrosion resistance of aluminium- an assessment which is one of the main conditions for the development of many uses of aluminium in transport, construction, power transmission etc. - 600 bibliographic references provide a comprehensive guide to over 100 years of related study - Providing practical applications to the reader across many industries - Accessible to both the beginner and the expert
Welding and joining techniques play an essential role in both the manufacture and in-service repair of aerospace structures and components, and these techniques become more advanced as new, complex materials are developed. Welding and joining of aerospace materials provides an in-depth review of different techniques for joining metallic and non-metallic aerospace materials.Part one opens with a chapter on recently developed welding techniques for aerospace materials. The next few chapters focus on different types of welding such as inertia friction, laser and hybrid laser-arc welding. The final chapter in part one discusses the important issue of heat affected zone cracking in welded superal...
Uroš Rojko - Komponist, Klarinettist, Professor - ist einer der fachkundigsten und aktivsten Musiker der slowenischen und deutschsprachigen Kunstmusikszene. Der Musikwissenschaftler Leon Stefanija stellt Leben und Werk dieses Ausnahmekünstlers vielschichtig dar. Er zeichnet ein detailliertes Bild von Rojkos künstlerischem Werdegang, gewährt Einblicke in die mitteleuropäische Musikkultur und begibt sich auf die Suche nach der musikalischen Poetik in Rojkos Werk, indem er den Porträtierten selbst sowie dessen Kritiker zu Wort kommen lässt. Anhand von zwei ausgewählten Kompositionen geht er schließlich der Frage nach, was Werk und Technik dieses wichtigen Repräsentanten neuer Musik so besonders macht.

The primary aim of this volume is to provide researchers and engineers from both academia and industry with up-to-date coverage of recent advances in the fields of robotic welding, intelligent systems and automation. It gathers selected papers from the 2017 International Workshop on Intelligentized Welding Manufacturing (IWIWM’2017), held June 23-26, 2017 in Shanghai, China. The contributions reveal how intelligentized welding manufacturing (IWM) is becoming an inescapable trend, just as intelligentized robotic welding is becoming a key technology. The volume is divided into four main parts: Intelligent Techniques for Robotic Welding, Sensing in Arc Welding Processing, Modeling and Intelligent Control of Welding Processing, and Intelligent Control and its Applications in Engineering.
