How To Build A Lab-On/In-Fiber

~~211,34€~~ 190,21€ 10% OFF

 This book explores the technical foundations of constructing diverse laboratories on optical fiber. In recent years, microstructured-based optical fiber devices and sensors have emerged as a rapidly advancing area within the field of optical fiber sensing technology. The concept of creating a laboratory on optical fiber has been inspired by advances in micro-structured fiber optics. Given the natural existence of optical waveguide channels within fibers, it is feasible to integrate a wide range of materials such as inorganic, organic, biological, and nonlinear optical substances—into or onto the fiber''s end face or side. This integration facilitates the interaction between light and matter, leading to measurable optical outcomes through the fiber''s optical channel. The rapid evolution of this concept is driven by the ease with which strong interactions can be achieved between light and matter at the micro-nano scale within the fiber, making it an ideal platform for experiments in lightwave microscale physics, photochemistry, and the interaction between light and both biological and microbial materials. The fiber optics laboratory thus offers a compelling stage for interdisciplinary research endeavors.This book serves as a comprehensive and systematic introduction to the core techniques involved in establishing various laboratories on fiber, complemented by practical examples that illustrate the purpose, methodology, and technical approaches to developing fiber-based laboratories. It stands as an invaluable reference for students and researchers intrigued by the cutting-edge advancements in fiber optic technology.

Advanced Particle Methods

by Abbas Khayyer e Hitoshi Gotoh

~~98,71€~~ 88,84€ 10% OFF

 This book provides an in-depth, comprehensive, and comprehensible description of the theoretical background and numerical methodologies corresponding to advanced particle methods formulated in classical Newtonian mechanics for simulation of fluids, structures, and their interactions. Particle methods are regarded as new-generation computational technology with a broad range of applications in engineering and science. Advanced particle methods refer to the latest developed particle methods with high stability, accuracy, conservation, and convergence properties. Distinctively, the described advanced particle methods are characterized by a clear, consistent mathematical-physical background, the absence of artificial numerical stabilizers that often require parameter tuning, rigorous satisfaction of boundary conditions, and excellent numerical results that have been extensively and scrupulously verified with respect to reliable analytical and experimental reference solutions.This book presents a unified description for both smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and moving particle semi-implicit (MPS) methods through a coherent presentation of fundamental equations, and numerical algorithms and schemes. Special attention is devoted to meticulous and coherent explanation of the advanced particle methods such that even undergraduate students can follow the derivation process and thoroughly understand the concepts and equations. The state-of-the-art particle method technology is also portrayed with the presentation of developed multi-physics, multi-scale particle methods corresponding to multi-phase flows, and hydroelastic fluid-structure interactions with rigorous treatment of interfacial moving boundaries.

Intermediate Classical Mechanics

by Li-Sheng Wang e Yih-Hsing Pao

~~92,74€~~ 83,47€ 10% OFF

 This book describes the basic concepts and principles of classical mechanics in the intermediate level. Given the perspective that different mechanical problems require an appropriate approach drawn from various methods or principles, a textbook discussing multiple methods or principles in mechanics is highly desirable. Additionally, a good textbook should include historical context on the motivation and the development of the methods or principles, allowing students to gain insights that may help them discover new theories. However, after many years of teaching Dynamics in the graduate school, the authors were unable to find a suitable intermediate-level textbook on classical mechanics, which motivated them to begin writing this book. For the aforementioned reasons, this book includes the descriptions of various methods or principles in mechanics, such as the Newton-Euler Principle, the d’Alembert Principle, Lagrangian methods, Gauss’s Principle of Least Constraint, the Gibbs-Appell equation, Jourdain’s equation, the Principle of Virtual Power, the Appell-Kane method, the Hamilton Principle, and the Hamiltonian mechanics, among others. Moreover, many historical remarks on the motivation and the development of the methods or principles are given in this book, as well as numerous applications. The authors also believe that in studying the motion of a material body, different models may be used depending on the application. If the position of the body is of interest, a particle model may be chosen. If the orientation or attitude of the body is under consideration, a rigid body model should be adopted. If deformation is a concern, a model of deformable body should be applied. Consequently, a book in mechanics for engineers should encompass a variety of models of the body, ranging from particles to continua such as solids or fluids. This book also meets that need.

Control Theory In Rheology - An Introduction To Practical Applications

by Tommi Borg

~~184,84€~~ 166,36€ 10% OFF

 This book bridges the gap between theoretical rheology and practical industry applications by introducing Control Theory (CT) and the linear Unified Model. This approach enables the modelling and analysis of various viscoelastic flows as well as polymer and macromolecular structures. In practical engineering, the design of machinery and equipment for polymers often relies on handbooks, respective textbooks, and numerous CAD-aided software tools based on empirical formulas. This book presents many useful viscoelastic constitutive equations for analysing and model shear and complex flows, relaxation modulus and spectrum, elongation, transient viscosity, and for computing the Molecular Weight Distribution (MWD) from viscoelastic measurements.The book adopts a counterintuitive approach, starting afresh and proceeding chronologically from steady-state viscosity and other flows relevant to practical engineering to the theoretical formulas of relaxation phenomena. It simplifies unnecessary complexity while still drawing on the well-documented motions of molecular chains. Furthermore, the book offers deeper insights into the background of power-law theories and the Cox-Merz rule, supplying new formulas for the relaxation modulus, spectrum, and various modules through the application of unified formulas. Professionals and scholars alike will find it a handy reference tool.
