Copper: Better Properties for Innovative Products By
2006 | 332 Pages | ISBN: 3527318844 | PDF | 5 MB
Copper was since ever the companion of the development of mankind. Notwithstanding this long history, copper as we know it today is a rather young material. Indeed, the discovery and use of electricity during the 19th century led to a repositioning of copper and opened fantastic opportunities. It started a new career as the metal for generating, transporting and using energy, power and information. This book contains the Proceedings of the International Conference "Copper 06". It gives a broad and up-to-date overview on the recent progress in research and development of copper and copper alloys for usage in modern industrial applications. The current challenges and changes in the international copper industry are also highlighted and the reader gets insight in the driving forces on the international copper market.Content: Chapter 1 Copper on the Move - Where it Comes from, Where it Goes to (pages 1-17): Martin RuhrbergChapter 13 Deformation and Recrystallization Textures and Microstructures in Cold?Drawn Copper (pages 101-107): T.

Control of Synchronous Motors By Jean?Paul Louis(auth.)
2011 | 425 Pages | ISBN: 1848212739 | PDF | 10 MB
Synchronous motors are indubitably the most effective device to drive industrial production systems and robots with precision and rapidity. Their control law is thus critical for combining at the same time high productivity to reduced energy consummation. As far as possible, the control algorithms must exploit the properties of these actuators. Therefore, this work draws on well adapted models resulting from the Park's transformation, for both the most traditional machines with sinusoidal field distribution and for machines with non-sinusoidal field distribution which are more and more used in industry. Both, conventional control strategies like vector control (either in the synchronous reference frame or in the rotor frame) and advanced control theories like direct control and predictive control are thoroughly presented. In this context, a significant place is reserved to sensorless control which is an important and critical issue in tomorrow's motors.Content: Chapter 1 Synchronous motor controls, Problems and Modeling (pages 1-48): Chapter 2 Optimal Supply and Synchronous Motors Torque Control (pages 49-117): Chapter 3 Optimal Supplies and Synchronous Motors Torque Controls.

Continuous Casting: Proceedings of the International Conference on Continuous Casting of Non-Ferrous Metals By
2005 | 385 Pages | ISBN: 3527313419 | PDF | 7 MB
During the last decade, continuous casting has gained increasing importance as a highly developed technology for the production of superior quality pre-forms for specific subsequent processing by both the copper and the light metals industry. Current progress also includes spray forming as an increasingly important processing option. Therefore, experts from the manufacturing industry, researchers and scientists from university and industry as well as suppliers of equipment and ancillary products need to stay up-to-date on most recent technical, economical and ecological developments. These Proceedings of the Continuous Casting 2005 conference will review the complete range of the processing chain covering both melt treatment and casting technology as well as specific measures for micro-structural control. A focal point of the programme will deal with modelling and simulation that has become an integral part of modern manufacturing. But also safety and health aspects will be approached.

Computer Aided Process and Product Engineering By
2006 | 889 Pages | ISBN: 3527308040 | PDF | 51 MB
Computer aided process engineering (CAPE) tools have been very successfully used in process design and product engineering for a long time. In particular, simulation and modelling tools have enabled engineers to analyse and understand the behaviour of selected processes prior to building actual plants. The aim of design or retrofit of chemical processes is to produce profitably products that satisfy the societal needs, ensuring safe and reliable operation of each process, as well as minimising any effects on the environment. This involves the conceptual design or retrofit of plants and processes, novel manufacturing approaches, process/control system design interactions and operability, manufacturability, environmental and safety issues. Backed by current studies, this 2-volume set gives a comprehensive survey of the various approaches and latest developments on the use of CAPE in the process industry. An invaluable reference to the scientific and industrial community in the field of computer aided process and product engineering.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1-10): Luis Puigjaner and Georges HeyenChapter 1 Large?Scale Algebraic Systems (pages 15-34): Guido Buzzi?Ferraris and Davide MancaChapter 2 Distributed Dynamic Models and Computational Fluid Dynamics (pages 35-106): Young?Il Lim and Stem Bay JorgensenChapter 3 Molecular Modeling for Physical Property Prediction (pages 107-135): Vincent Gerbaud and Xavier JouliaChapter 4 Modeling Frameworks of Complex Separation Systems (pages 137-169): Michael C.
