Aircraft components suffer from fatigue failures, the majority of failures take place at the component joints. Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a new candidate as an advanced joining method, that promises cost reduction and structural efficiency compared to conventional joining processes such as riveting, bolting, plasma welding and laser beam welding. Nevertheless, until now FSW not yet been demonstrated as a sound quality joining process that is resistant to fatigue. In the present work, FSW of 2024-T351 aluminium alloy was characterised in terms of macrostructure, microstructure, hardness, precipitate distribution, and weld residual stress. Cyclic properties and fatigue endurance. One surface engineering treatment, controlled shot...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A life-critical system or safety-critical system is a system whose failure or malfunction may result in: death or serious, injury to people, or loss or severe damage to equipment or environmental harm. Risks of this sort are usually managed with the methods and tools of safety engineering. A life-critical system is designed to lose less than one life per billion hours of operation. Typical design methods include probabilistic risk assessment, a method that combines failure modes and effects analysis with fault tree analysis. Safety-critical systems are increasingly computer-based. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Light Rail Transit (LRT), also known as the Light Rapid Transit, is the light rail component of Singapore's rail network, consisting of localised rail systems acting as feeder services to the Mass Rapid Transit network. The first LRT line was opened in 1999 and the system has since expanded to three lines, each serving a public housing estate. The system is closer to an automated people mover system such as those found in many airports around the world than a traditional light rail system. All the lines are fully automated and elevated, and run on viaducts in order to save scarce land space in Singapore. Although the Singapore Changi Airport Skytrain people mover and the Sentosa Express is...

A linear particle accelerator (often shortened to linac) is a type of particle accelerator that greatly increases the velocity of charged subatomic particles or ions by subjecting the charged particles to a series of oscillating electric potentials along a linear beamline; this method of particle acceleration was invented in 1928 by Rolf Wider e. Linacs have many applications, from the generation of X-rays for medicinal purposes, to being an injector for a higher-energy accelerators, to the investigation of the properties of subatomic particles. The design of a linac depends on the type of particle that is being accelerated: electrons, protons or ions. They range in size from a cathode ray tube to the 2-mile (3.2 km) long Stanford Linear...

Flexible structures (such as long-span suspension bridges which undergo moving load, wind or earthquake excitations) exhibit complex dynamic behavior. Due to high cost of strengthening such structures, as well as the technological advances in recent years, much attention has been given to using innovative means of enhancing structural functionality and safety against dynamic excitations. Among the methods used to mitigate the excessive vibration of structures, the energy absorber systems are more promising. This book presents a comprehensive assessment for linear and nonlinear passive vibration absorbers applied on the beams subjected to transient and successive traveling loads. This book is specially helpful for the companies and...

Rechts- und Linkshander haben bereits seit dem Palaeolithikum miteinander gelebt. Linkshander stellen seit jeher in allen menschlichen Populationen eine Minderheit dar. Ist Linkshandigkeit schon in den Genen festgelegt oder kommt es dazu erst durch aussere Einflusse? Bedeutet Linkshandigkeit gleichzeitig auch Bevorzugung des linken Beines, des linken Ohres oder Auges? Im vorliegenden Buch wurde die Auswirkung der Handigkeit auf verschiedene Tatigkeiten, Eigenschaften und Besonderheiten untersucht. Die Forschung hat den Linkshandern bereits einige Erleichterungen gebracht und zum Gluck fur die Betroffenen findet eine folgenschwere Umschulung heute nur mehr selten statt.

Recent developments in optical fiber communication have further opened the door to cost effective Wavelength Division Operation in metropolitan and access optical networks. To take advantage of the widened transmission window, broadly tunable optical distortionless filters must be developed to multiplex and demultiplex optical channels. Tunable optical filters are widely needed to manage channels at the optical layer in DWDM systems. One of the few technologies capable of such a large tuning range is liquid crystal (LC). The large anisotropy and low operational voltage make it an ideal candidate for low cost tunable optical filters. The objective of this book is to discuss flat-top/distortionless tunable filters that provide the channel...

Today we are witnesses of different distress events worldwide. Satellites are involved on search and rescue services. The SARSAT system is designed to provide location data and distress alert. RF emissions for different services are rapidly increasing, potentially to interfere with satellites dedicated for search and rescue services. Natural barriers and the very high construction patterns, create difficulties on communication of ground stations with low orbit satellites, especially under low elevation, resulting on missed passes. Considering that the mission of the SARSAT program is to rescue lives worldwide, analyses about the system performance related to interference and missed passes are provided. Since ground stations continue to...

Although the Morane-Saulnier MS-760 flew earlier, the JetStar was the first dedicated business jet to enter service. It was also one of the largest aircraft in the class for many years, seating ten plus two crew. It is distinguishable from other small jets by its four engines, mounted on the rear of the fuselage in a similar layout to the larger Vickers VC-10 airliner, and the "slipper"-style fuel tanks fixed to the wings.

The development of the International Monitoring System (IMS) for the verification of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) has led to a rapid revival of interest in infrasound. Furthermore, the installation of low- frequency sensors at seismic sites has increased in recent years, providing researchers with large and heterogeneous data-sets in near real-time. New techniques are needed to better process all of this data and to extract meaningful information quickly for various applications. In particular, there is a need to find distinct features in the infrasonic signals that allow one to distinguish low level nuclear tests from seismic events. In this book three methods for feature extraction from infrasound and...

Applying the relaying concept to a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) mobile network is not a new idea, and many such systems employing relaying capabilities have been suggested. An obstacle to their evaluation with respect to capacity and coverage gains over the conventional non-relaying networks has been the inapplicability of the existent path loss models for low height terminal communications. Herein, empirical propagation models for relaying systems with low height terminals are proposed. The new models consist of line of sight and non-line-of-sight branches, and they take into account the effect of transmitter and receiver height, citing and environmental parameters. They are also complemented by shadowing and fast-fading...
