IUTAM Symposium on Topological Design Optimization of Structures, Machines and Materials
IUTAM Symposium on Topological Design Optimization of Structures, Machines and Materials: Martin Philip Bendsoe, Niels Olhoff, Ole Sigmund
Springer | ISBN: 1402047290 | 2006-06-01 | PDF (OCR) | 608 pages | 8.2 Mb
Status and Perspectives (Solid Mechanics and Its Applications) (Solid Mechanics and Its Applications)
This volume contains the edited versions of papers presented at the IUTAM-Symposium Topological design optimization of structures, machines and materials - status and perspectives, held at Rungstedgaard, near Copenhagen, Denmark, in October 2005. The Symposium was attended by scientists in mechanics, optics, and applied mathematics from 19 countries. It is now more than 15 years ago that the so-called homogenization method was proposed as a basis for computational means to optimize the topology and shape of continuum structures. From initially being capable mainly of treating minimum compliance design we now see the basic material distribution idea of the methodology applied to a wide range of structural and mechanical problems as well as to problems that couple structural response to other physical responses. Also, the method has provided insight for micro-mechanical studies, meaning that the method has given feedback to the area which provided impetus to the field of topological design optimization in its creation. Finally, topological design is now an integral part of most FEM software systems and it has become a standard industrial tool in some fields. The IUTAM Symposium provided a forum for the exchange of ideas for future developments in the area of topological design optimization. This encompassed the application to fluid-solid interaction problems, acoustics problems, and to problems in biomechanics, as well as to other multiphysics problems. New basic modelling paradigms, covering new geometry modelling such as level-set methods and topological derivatives, as well as developments in computational approaches were also focus areas.

Proceedings of an International Conference on Advances in Engineering Structures, Mechanics ... 2006 (Solid Mechanics and Its Applications)
The conference highlighted all forms of research and applications related to advances in engineering structures, mechanics and construction. The conference promised to be an interesting event. The technical program involved the presentation of seventy-three papers, by more than one-hundred and fifty authors representing fifteen countries. The opening technical session of each day of the three-day conference featured two Plenary presentations, followed by two parallel tracks of technical sessions for the remainder of the day. This Conference Proceedings contains the texts of all three plenary presentations and all seventy-three technical papers.

Renewable Energy, Third Edition by Bent Sorensen
Publisher: Academic Press | 3 edition (July 30, 2004) | ISBN: 0126561532 | Pages: 952 | PDF | 18.08 MB
The present edition has been updated in a number of renewable energy technology areas (Chapter 4 and 5), where progress have been made over the recent years. New solar simulation studies have been added to Chapter 6, and market considerations have been included in the overview in Chapter 1, and in discussing industry liberalisation in Chapter 7. The remarks on advanced subjects made in the preface to the 2nd edition are still valid. A new growth area is fuel cells for stationary and mobile uses of hydrogen and other fuels. Only modest updates have been done in this area, as it is the subject of a new, companion book to be published about a year after this one (Sørensen: Hydrogen and fuel cells, Academic Press). Some older material has been omitted or tidied up, and manoeuvring through the book has been eased, both for reference and textbook uses.

Wind Energy: Renewable Energy and the Environment by Robert Foster
Wind Energy: Renewable Energy and the Environment by Robert Foster
Publisher: CRC Press | March 16, 2009 | ISBN: 1420075683 | Pages: 328 | PDF | 7.1 MB
The book begins by outlining the history of wind energy, before providing reasons to shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy. After examining the characteristics of wind, such as shear, power potential, and turbulence, it discusses the measurement and siting of individual wind turbines and wind farms. The text then presents the aerodynamics, operation, control, applications, and types of wind turbines. The author also describes the design of wind turbines and system performance for single wind turbines, water pumping, village systems, and wind farms. In addition, he explores the wind industry from its inception in the 1970s to today as well as the political and economic factors regarding the adoption of wind as an energy source.

Publisher: Chelsea House Publications 2009-05-30
102 Pages - ISBN: 1604130148 - PDF -10 MB
"Plate Tectonics" examines the evolution of plate tectonic theory from its beginnings as a wild idea of drifting continents to its acceptance as the main concept that drives geology today. The book also focuses on the lives and achievements of those individuals who fought great odds to give rise to one of the most important theories in science.
