Mechanical and Electrical Systems in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (5th Edition)

Frank R. Dagostino, Joseph B. Wujek, "Mechanical and Electrical Systems in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (5th Edition)"
Pre ntice H all | 2009 | ISBN: 0135000041 | 960 pages | PDF | 22 MB

The book provides comprehensive, easy-to-understand introductory coverage of mechanical and electrical systems in buildings. Elementary engineering concepts and step-by-step design principles are introduced in a straightforward manner and supported by over 320 illustrations and 500 photographs. It includes new chapters on emerging sustainability (green) technologies and building science. It presents material that can provide the future architect, architectural engineer, and architectural engineering technician with a basic working-level knowledge of principles and practices. This book is written specifically for those interested in building heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), plumbing and piping (water supply and sanitary drainage), storm drainage, illumination, electrical power distribution, building telecommunications, acoustics and acoustical control, vertical/horizontal transportation and conveying, fire protection and suppression, and building renewable energy and energy conservation systems.

A. Ernvik, "3D Visualization of Weather Radar Data"

Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute, smhi, runs a network of 12 weather radars together with the Swedish Armed Forces. Data from them are used for short term weather forecasting and analysis; for detecting wind speeds and directions as well as rain fall amounts. The radars deliver data in the form of 3D polar volumes four times an hour, day and night, every day of the year. In order to
meet the demand for a user friendly tool to visualize and analyse the data, the development of a software system called rave (which is an
abbreviation for Radar Analysis and Visualization Environment) was initiated in 1996. From the beginning rave was designed to, among
other things, “create and visualize arbitrary 2D products based on 3D data” and to be able to “render 3D views of polar and cartesian volume data with and without backdrops” (Bolin & Michelson, 1996). During 1997 a first version of rave was implemented that included basic functionality but it was not able to render any 3D views - neither is the current version of rave. This project aims to fill this hole.

Atlas of Anatomy

Atlas of Anatomy contains everything students need to successfully tackle the daunting challenges of anatomy.

Complete with exquisite, full-color illustrations by award-winning artists Markus Voll and Karl Wesker, the atlas is organized to lead students step-by-step through each region of the body. Each region opens with the foundational skeletal framework. The subsequent chapters build upon this foundation, adding the muscles, then organs, then vessels, then nerves, and finally presenting topographic anatomy for a comprehensive view. Each unit closes with surface anatomy accompanied by questions that ask the reader to apply knowledge learned for the real-life physical examination of patients.

Features:

-2,200 full-color illustrations of unsurpassed quality

-Brief introductory texts that provide an accessible entry point when a new topic is presented

-Clinical correlates and images, including radiographs, MRIs, CT scans, and endoscopic views

-Muscle Fact pages that organize the essentials, including origin, insertion, and innervation--ideal for memorization, reference, and review

-Navigators that orient the reader with location and plane of dissection

- A scratch-off code provides access to Winking Skull.com PLUS, an interactive online study

aid, featuring over 600 full-color anatomy illustrations and radiographs, “labels-on,

labels-off” functionality, and timed self-tests

Mechatronic Modeling and Simulation Using Bond Graphs

Shuvra Das, "Mechatronic Modeling and Simulation Using Bond Graphs"
C R C | 2009 | ISBN: 1420073141 | 504 pages | PDF | 13,8 MB

Bond graphs are especially well-suited for mechatronic systems, as engineering system modeling is best handled using a multidisciplinary approach. Bond graphing permits one to see the separate components of an engineering system as a unified whole, and allows these components to be categorized under a few generalized elements, even when they come from different disciplines. In addition to those advantages, the bond graph offers a visual representation of a system from which derivation of the governing equations is algorithmic. This makes the design process accessible to beginning readers, providing them with a practical understanding of mechatronic systems.

Mechatronic Modeling and Simulation Using Bond Graphs is written for those who have some hands-on experience with mechatronic systems, enough to appreciate the value of computer modeling and simulation. Avoiding elaborate mathematical derivations and proofs, the book is written for modelers seeking practical results in addition to theoretical confirmations. Key concepts are revealed step-by-step, supported by the application of rudimentary examples that allow readers to develop confidence in their approach right from the start.

For those who take the effort to master its application, the use of bond graph methodology in system modeling can be very satisfying in the way it unifies information garnered from different disciplines.

In the second half of the book after readers have learned how to develop bond graph models, the author provides simulation results for engineering examples that encourage readers to model, simulate, and practice as they progress through the chapters. Although the models can be simulated using any number of software tools, the text employs 20Sim for all the simulation work in this text. A free version of the software can be downloaded from the 20Sim Web site.
