Case Studies and Applications
The purpose of this final chapter is to highlight some of the considerations given in the foregoing ones by drawing detailed examples and case... -
RF Interconnection and Switching
The components that connect, interface, transfer, and filter RF energy within a given system—or between systems—are critical elements in the... -
Mechanics
Statics is the study of the equilibrium of solid bodies or of systems of solid bodies. Equilibrium prevails if a body is at rest or is... -
Mechanical Machine Components
In joint welding components are joined by means of welds at the welding point to become a welded part. A number of welded parts combine to make up a... -
Marine Corrosion and Biodeterioration
Corrosion is probably the best known of the deterioration mechanisms which can affect materials in the marine environment and much attention is... -
Evaluation of Marine Structures
As mentioned in the introduction to Chap. 5, we will concentrate mainly on evaluating the characteristics of marine structures determined by the sea,... -
Manufacturing Processes
Manufacturing is the production of workpieces of a geometrically defined shape (Kienzle). -
Long Wavelength Lasers and OEIC Transmitters
The rapid deployment of both terrestrial and undersea fiber optic telecommunication systems [1–3] in the last decade has paved the way for the entry... -
Fabrication and Manufacture for Marine Technology
The demands of fabrication have dominated the marine technology industry almost from inception. Most of the major advances in shipbuilding technology... -
Multicriteria discrete optimization of large scale truss systems
The paper discusses optimization problems in civil engineering structural design. The following questions are discussed: continuous or discrete...

Manufacturing Systems
Manufacturing systems are classified according to DIN 8590. Subsystems are machine tools which are defined according to DIN 69 651 as “mechanised and... -
Application of expert systems to engineering design
There exists a spectrum of applications software that ranges from the traditional data processing systems to advanced artificial intelligence... -
Designing to cost
Product costs need to be recognized early, i.e. during designing, where they can be controlled the most. However, as a rule, for a new product the...
