Control of Non-conventional Synchronous Motors

Louis, Jean-Paul — 29 Dec 2011 08:18:39 +0100

Modern industrial production and manufacturing operations rely on an enormous number of devices known as motors - for the countless different operations of machine tools, robots and other specialized machines, these devices operate on objects in motion (generally in rotation) and apply a torque, a speed, or a position, each of which is determined by a high level control and decision-making system element. This book provides a broad overview of conventional (extending occasionally to the non-conventional) synchronous motor control, from traditional methods based on regulation with inverter control using pulse width modulation (PWM) to some very promising new and advanced methods, such as direct control and feed forward methods. The authors supply new information and applications in the fields of modeling and of real world control methods, often stressing the very important challenge of implementing controls without mechanical sensors.

Introductory Mathematics for Engineering Applications, Preliminary Edition

Rattan, Kuldip S. / Klingbeil, Nathan — 28 Nov 2011 08:18:24 +0100

Rattan's Introductory Mathematics for Engineering Applications is designed is to improve student retention, motivation and success through application-driven, just-in-time engineering math instruction. It is intended to be taught by engineering faculty, not math faculty, so the emphasis is on using math to solve engineering problems, not on derivations and theory. The book is a product of four NSF grants to develop and disseminate a new approach to engineering mathematics education. The authors have developed a course that does just this, and have recruited faculty at more than two dozen institutions to pilot aspects of this course in their own curricula. This approach covers only the salient math topics actually used in core engineering courses, including physics, statics, dynamics, electric circuits and computer programming. More importantly, the course replaces traditional math prerequisites for the above core courses, so that students can advance in the engineering curriculum without first completing the required calculus sequence. The result has shifted the traditional emphasis on math prerequisite requirements to an emphasis on engineering motivation for math, and has had an overwhelming impact on engineering student retention.

Structural Dynamics of Electronic and Photonic Systems

Suhir, Ephram / Yu, T. X. / Connally, Eric (eds.) — 24 May 2011 08:17:11 +0200

This book offers comprehensive and versatile methodologies and recommendations on how to determine dynamic characteristics of typical micro- and opto- electronic structural elements (printed circuit boards, solder joints, heavy devices, etc.) and how to design a viable and reliable structure that would be able to withstand high-level dynamic loading. Comprehensive and practical coverage provides a thorough introduction to the existing test techniques and test methods as well as serving as source of guidelines for rugged design against shock and vibration.

Mechanical Instability

Krysinski, Tomasz / Malburet, François — 17 May 2011 08:17:55 +0200

This book presents a study of the stability of mechanical systems, i.e. their free response when they are removed from their position of equilibrium after a temporary disturbance. After reviewing the main analytical methods of the dynamical stability of systems, it highlights the fundamental difference in nature between the phenomena of forced resonance vibration of mechanical systems subjected to an imposed excitation and instabilities that characterize their free response. It specifically develops instabilities arising from the rotor-structure coupling, instability of control systems, the self-sustained instabilities associated with the presence of internal damping and instabilities related to the fluid-structure coupling for fixed and rotating structures. For an original approach following the analysis of instability phenomena, the book provides examples of solutions obtained by passive or active methods. [368 Seiten, Hardcover]

Problem Solving for Process Operators and Specialists

Bonem, J. M. — 17 May 2011 08:17:24 +0200

Problem Solving for Process Operators and Specialists provide methods to train process operators to solve challenging problems. Throughout the book, the theory behind each pragmatic calculation technique is explained in understandable terms prior to presenting the author's approach. These techniques have been developed by an author with more than 50 years of industrial experience. The book includes many sample problems and examples of real-world problem solving. Using these techniques, theoretically correct working hypotheses can be developed in an expedient fashion. [344 Seiten, Hardcover]

Micro-Manufacturing

Koc, Muammer / Ozel, Tugrul (eds.) — 17 May 2011 08:17:22 +0200

Understanding the boundaries, challenges, and opportunities of micro-scale manufacturing becomes a must before one can design, make, use, and manage such products effectively. Micro-Manufacturing is the first book to provide in-depth understanding of materials behavior at micro-scales and under various processing conditions, while describing emerging micro-scale manufacturing challenges and strategies to overcome them. It discusses how microtechnology-based products are made, the sources from which they are made, and their limitations, with examples such as mobile phones, cameras, and handheld PDAs. An essential resource for researchers, professors, and electrical and electronic engineers. [400 Seiten, Hardcover]
