In the 1970s, new technology was needed to build on Arctic ice. This book relates the human history and technical innovations developed, moving beyond lab studies to detail the testing, construction and use of ice in real conditions for designers, educators, and students.
In the early 1970s, new technology was needed to aid in coal, oil and gas exploration in the High Arctic, in order to see if ice sheets could provide a perfect structural support for roadways, airstrips and drilling platforms housing hundreds of workers. However, little engineering experience was available in this regard.
This book uniquely relates the human history and the technical innovations developed in this harsh environment through research, testing, and applying many existing engineering principles to ice structure analysis. It offers essential insights into the history of ice engineering for designers, university educators and postgraduate students. While other studies detail research and testing in the laboratory, this text relates the testing, development, construction and use of ice in real construction conditions.
This book covers the key principles, theories, and applications of information and communication technologies for academic and professional audiences. It explores network architecture, information theory, wireless communications, network security, and optimisation methods.
Reinforced concrete columns play a very important role in structural performance; as such, it is essential to apply a suitable analytical tool to estimate their structural behaviour and consider failure mechanisms. This monograph focuses on fiber beam-column elements.
This book identifies the main research categories of Management Science in Engineering (MSE), and evaluates and classifies each journal in this field. Developed by leading experts, it is of interest to scientists, researchers, practitioners, engineers, and students.
This easy-to-follow guide offers a state-of-the-art approach to optimization methods for academics and industrial engineers. It provides a comprehensive study with directly implementable Matlab code, suited to readers even without a programming background.
This book covers the measurement of optoelectronic components, focusing on the implementation of static electrical and optical characterization. It links these measurements to solid state physics and presents different LED technologies through detailed experimental analyses.
This book is an introduction to computational methods in physics. It details how to make a physical problem computable, using numerous examples and solved problems from classical mechanics to quantum mechanics, and directly teaches the reader how to implement these techniques.
A beginner’s guide to electronics, programming, and microprocessing with Arduino. Assuming no prior knowledge, this book explains how to control components and read sensors. With hands-on lab activities, you’ll learn to turn your project ideas into functional prototypes.
This book explores the systems engineering, production processes and performance issues of solid rockets. It discusses state-of-the-art techniques and recent developments, appealing to rocket scientists, students, and professors.
For students and specialists in nonlinear dynamics, this book develops original methods to study dynamical chaos, synchronization, and dynamic structures in lattices of coupled rotators, using methods from bifurcation theory and qualitative numerical methods.
Immobilizing ionic liquid (IL) in a polymer matrix is a low-cost method to produce ionogels—an excellent substitute for liquid electrolytes. This book provides a complete overview, from ionogel development to application, and covers characterization and transport properties.
