Author: Shock Waves @ Marseille I
Author: Raymond BrunPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642788297
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 497
Book Description
Recently, there have been significant advances in the fields of high-enthalpy hypersonic flows, high-temperature gas physics, and chemistry shock propagation in various media, industrial and medical applications of shock waves, and shock-tube technology. This series contains all the papers and lectures of the 19th International Symposium on Shock Waves held in Marseille in 1993. They are published in four topical volumes, each containing papers on related topics, and preceded by an overview written by a leading international expert. The volumes may be purchased independently.
Software Shock
Author: Roger S. PressmanPublisher: Dorset House Publishing Company, Incorporated
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Software is pervasive, affecting every area of our life from our work to our entertainment. Yet, few of us understand exactly what it is and how it will affect our future. What we do know is the confusion and frustration we often feel over the changes brought on by technology. We suffer from software shock. Authors Roger Pressman and Russell Herron offer a solution. In clear, nontechnical language, they demystify this complicated technology. They trace the history of software technology and look at the people and corporate cultures that compose the software industry. They also offer a tantalizing view of the deeper impact that computers and software will have in the future, covering such topics as -- how our privacy can be invaded by hackers -- how our national security can be compromised by technoterrorists -- how small errors jeopardize our vital systems, like our telephone networks -- how teaching computers can revolutionize education -- how software can increase your professional and personal productivity -- how intelligent cars and software-based highways will make driving a hands-off experience. Software Shock will help technical and nontechnical readers -- and their families -- understand the importance of software and cope with the dangers and opportunities it brings to the world.
The Shock and Vibration Digest
Author: Vibration and Shock Handbook
Author: Clarence W. de SilvaPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 142003989X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 1837
Book Description
Every so often, a reference book appears that stands apart from all others, destined to become the definitive work in its field. The Vibration and Shock Handbook is just such a reference. From its ambitious scope to its impressive list of contributors, this handbook delivers all of the techniques, tools, instrumentation, and data needed to model, analyze, monitor, modify, and control vibration, shock, noise, and acoustics. Providing convenient, thorough, up-to-date, and authoritative coverage, the editor summarizes important and complex concepts and results into “snapshot” windows to make quick access to this critical information even easier. The Handbook’s nine sections encompass: fundamentals and analytical techniques; computer techniques, tools, and signal analysis; shock and vibration methodologies; instrumentation and testing; vibration suppression, damping, and control; monitoring and diagnosis; seismic vibration and related regulatory issues; system design, application, and control implementation; and acoustics and noise suppression. The book also features an extensive glossary and convenient cross-referencing, plus references at the end of each chapter. Brimming with illustrations, equations, examples, and case studies, the Vibration and Shock Handbook is the most extensive, practical, and comprehensive reference in the field. It is a must-have for anyone, beginner or expert, who is serious about investigating and controlling vibration and acoustics.

The Shock and Vibration Digest
Author: Hardware-Software Co-Design of Embedded Systems
Author: F. BalarinPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461561272
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
Embedded systems are informally defined as a collection of programmable parts surrounded by ASICs and other standard components, that interact continuously with an environment through sensors and actuators. The programmable parts include micro-controllers and Digital Signal Processors (DSPs). Embedded systems are often used in life-critical situations, where reliability and safety are more important criteria than performance. Today, embedded systems are designed with an ad hoc approach that is heavily based on earlier experience with similar products and on manual design. Use of higher-level languages such as C helps structure the design somewhat, but with increasing complexity it is not sufficient. Formal verification and automatic synthesis of implementations are the surest ways to guarantee safety. Thus, the POLIS system which is a co-design environment for embedded systems is based on a formal model of computation. POLIS was initiated in 1988 as a research project at the University of California at Berkeley and, over the years, grew into a full design methodology with a software system supporting it. Hardware-Software Co-Design of Embedded Systems: The POLIS Approach is intended to give a complete overview of the POLIS system including its formal and algorithmic aspects. Hardware-Software Co-Design of Embedded Systems: The POLIS Approach will be of interest to embedded system designers (automotive electronics, consumer electronics and telecommunications), micro-controller designers, CAD developers and students.
Shock Fitting
Author: Marcello OnofriPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319684272
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
This book describes the revolutionary capabilities of new shock fitting algorithms; a great improvement in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for high-speed numerical simulations. Shock fitting methods provide a solution to the current difficulties and inaccuracies in shock-capturing approaches. This work traces the evolution of shock-fitting methods, from the pioneering methods based on the structured grids (boundary and floating shock-fitting) to recent developments on unstructured grids, illustrating algorithmic details, significant applications and potential developments. Also, to celebrate the centenary birth of the father of shock-fitting techniques, the book also includes a tribute to Gino Moretti, as well as his unpublished manuscript. This book will appeal to professionals, researchers, and graduate students in the field of CFD.
