A Classification of Different Levels of Flexibility in an Automated Manufacturing System and Needed Competence
Mass customization has become more attractive but requires a transformation towards more flexible solutions in contrast to dedicated manufacturing systems. Flexibility includes complex tasks such as the introd...

Irreversible Electroporation of Pancreatic Tumors
Over 95% of pancreatic cancers are exocrine tumors that bare a dismal prognosis. Although oncological outcome is best for patients presenting with nonmetastatic resectable disease, cure is rarely achieved [1]....

Irreversible Electroporation of Liver Tumors
The liver is a well-known site for tumors of benign as well as malignant origin. In the Western world, the most frequent hepatic malignancies encountered are liver metastases, especially but not solely from co...

Proposing an Hourly Dynamic Wind Signal as an Environmental Incentive for Demand Response
Demand Response (DR) is expected to play a crucial role in balancing supply and demand in future smart grids with increased proportion of electricity from renewable sources. However, previous studies on price-...

Part 3 Summary of Results
Differential equation $$\begin{aligned} m\ddot{x} + c\dot{x} + k_0 x = 0; \quad x(0) = x_0; \quad \dot{x}(0) = v_0 \end{aligned}$$ .

Chapter
Structural Coupling Between Simple Systems
Transfer of vibrations from excitation zones to supporting and adjoining structures mainly determines noise emission from vehicles, machines, and other sources of noise.

Chapter
Fluid Structure Interaction and Radiation of Sound
Vibrating structures radiate noise. In fact, most sources of sound and noise, from loudspeakers to engines and vehicles, are really due to vibrating structures. A typical noise reducing measure is therefore to...

Chapter
Waveguides
A waveguide is a system, which by means of its boundaries contains and directs the flow of energy in a construction. One such system is a structural waveguide typical of a ship construction. Aircraft and certa...

Chapter
Transmission of Sound in Built-Up Structures
Maximum permissible noise and vibration levels are often required for most types of machinery, vehicles, and buildings.

Chapter
Hamilton’s Principle and Some Other Variational Methods
Many problems in mathematical physics and thus in vibro-acoustics cannot be solved exactly. However, a variational technique can often be used to sufficiently well formulate the equations governing the respons...

Chapter
Waves in Fluids
Vibrating radiate noise. The radiated power is determined by the acoustical coupling between the vibrating structure and the surrounding fluid.
-
Chapter
Sound Transmission Loss of Panels
In general, the noise level inside a building or structure is determined by the transmission of air-borne sound from external and internal acoustic sources and by structure-borne sound induced by some mechanic...

Chapter
Random Excitation of Structures
The excitation of some simple continuous systems like beams and plates was discussed in Chaps. 6 through 8. In the majority of those examp...

Chapter
Mechanical Systems with One Degree of Freedom
In noise reducing engineering, the consequences of changes made to a system must be understood. Questions posed could be on the effects of changes to the mass, stiffness, or losses of the system and how these ...

Chapter
Waves in Solids
The energy flow in is caused by various types of waves. The description and understanding of the character of these waves are therefore essential. In this chapter, the basic differential equations governing ...
