Creep and Fracture of Ice
This is the first complete account of the physics of the creep and fracture of ice, and their interconnectivity. It investigates the deformation of low-pressure ice, which is fundamental to glaciers, polar ice sheets and the uppermost region of icy moons of the outer Solar System. The book discusses ice structure and its defects, and... | | Principles of CAD/CAM/CAE
With the dramatic changes in computing power and wider availability of software
tools for design and production, engineers are now using CAD/CAM/CAE systems
for everyday tasks, not just for demonstrations. International competition, de-
creased availability of skilled labor, and increased emphasis on quality are also
forcing... | | Measurement Systems And Sensors
One of the tendencies in measurement technology development is the development
of measurement systems. By the measurement systems, we refer to a set
of material and organizational resources, as well as programs for information
processing, aggregated in order to obtain, transmit, and process measuring data,
and to display and... |
