Solar PV and Wind Energy Conversion Systems
(Springer, 2015)Solar PV and wind energy is an integral part of different renewable energy resources, in general, and, in particular, it is the main and continuous input variable from the practically inexhaustible sun. Solar energy is ... -
Petroleum Geoscience
(Springer, 2015)The second edition of Petroleum Geoscience is an updated and corrected version of the first edition from 2010 and there are also four new chapters. Petroleum geology and geophysics are not well-defined academic subjects. ... -
Engineering Mechanics 1
(Springer, 2013)Statics is the first volume of a three-volume textbook on Engineering Mechanics. Volume 2 deals with Mechanics of Materials; Volume 3 contains Particle Dynamics and Rigid Body Dynamics. The original German version of ... -
Electrical Machines
(Springer, 2013)This textbook is intended for undergraduate students of Electrical Engineering as their first course in electrical machines. It is also recommended for students preparing a capstone project, where they need to understand, ... -
Ceramic Materials Science and Engineering
(Springer, 2013)In today’s materials science curriculum, there is often only time for one course on ceramic materials. Students will usually take courses on mechanical properties, thermodynamics and kinetics, and the structure of ... -
Alternative Energy Sources
(Springer, 2012)In the beginning of the twenty-first century, our society is faced with an energy challenge: as highly populous, developing countries become more affluent and as the developed nations continue to increase their energy ... -
Robotics, Vision and Control
(Springer, 2013)The practice of robotics and machine vision involves the application of algorithms to data. The data comes from sensors measuring the velocity of a wheel, the angle of a robot arm’s joint or the intensities of millions ... -
Design Research in Information Systems
(Springer, 2010)The creative human activity of design changes the world in which we live for the better. As academic researchers in the field of information systems (IS), the co-authors have observed, studied, and taught design in the ... -
Additive Manufacturing Technologies
(Springer, 2010)Thank you for taking the time to read this book on Additive Manufacturing (AM). We hope you benefit from the time and effort it has taken putting it together and that you think it was a worthwhile undertaking. It all ... -
Structural Analysis
(Springer, 2009)Engineered structures are almost as old as human civilization and undoubtedly began with rudimentary tools and the first dwellings outside caves. Great progress has been made over thousands of years, and our world is now ... -
Thermodynamics and Energy Conversion
(Springer, 2014)This textbook grew out of lecture notes for the thermodynamics courses offered in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Victoria. Writing my own notes forced me to thoroughly consider how, in my ... -
Air Pollution and Greenhouse Gases
(Springer, 2014)Air emissions include air pollution emissions and greenhouse gas emissions. Effective air emission control requires multidisciplinary expertise in engineering, education, physics, chemistry, mathematics, medical science, ... -
Fatigue of Structures and Materials
(Springer, 2009)Fatigue of structures and materials covers a wide scope of different topics. The purpose of the present book is to explain these topics, to indicate how they can be analyzed, and how this can contribute to the designing of ... -
Control Engineering
(Springer, 2019)“Navigare necesse est”, i.e., the ship must be navigated, said the Romans in Antiquity. “Controlare necesse est”, i.e. systems must be controlled, we have been saying since the technological revolution of the nineteenth ... -
Ceramic Materials Science and Engineering
(Springer, 2007)In today’s materials science curriculum, there is often only time for one course on ceramic materials. Students will usually take courses on mechanical properties, thermodynamics and kinetics, and the structure of ... -
Fundamentals of Power Electronics
(Springer, 2000)The objective of the First Edition was to serve as a textbook for introductory power electronics courses where the fundamentals of power electronics are defined, rigorously presented, and treated in sufficient depth so ... -
Transmission Electron Microscopy
(Springer, 1996)How is this book any different from the many other books that deal with TEM? It has several unique features, but the most distinguishing one, we believe, is that it can really be described as a "textbook"-that is, one ... -
Engineering Mechanics 2
(Springer, 2011)Mechanics of Materials is the second volume of a three-volume textbook on Engineering Mechanics. Volume 1 deals with Statics while Volume 3 contains Dynamics. The original German version of this series is the bestselling ... -
Introduction to Digital Systems Design
(Springer, 2019)The large and ever-growing complexity of today’s digital systems places heavy demands on educational systems that are in charge of training the new generations of designers or just providing a solid understanding of the ... -
Automatic Control with Experiments
(Springer, 2019)Automatic control is one of the disciplines that support the technologically advanced lifestyle that we know today. Its applications are present in almost all the activities performed by humans in the twenty-first century. ...
