Electrical Safety Handbook


John Cadick " Electrical Safety Handbook"September 28, 2005 ISBN:0071457720 560 pages PDF 9 MB


OverviewThis is an accident-avoiding prescription for electricians, safety managers, and inspectors, and engineers dealing with electricity any voltage level. Presenting crucial protective safety strategies for industrial and commercial systems, the Handbook references all major safety codes (OSHA, NEC, NESC, and NFPA) where appropriate, creating a unique, one-stop compliance manual for any company’s electrical safety training and reference needs.

Pulsed Power Systems: Principles and Applications


Hansjoachim Bluhm, "Pulsed Power Systems: Principles and Applications" Springer; 1 edition (June 15, 2006) ISBN:3540261370 326 pages PDF 6,8 Mb

Pulsed-Power Systems describes the physical and technical foundations for the production and application of high-voltage pulses of very high-power and high-energy character. In the initial chapters, it addresses materials, components and the most common diagnostics. In the second part, three categories of applications with scientific and industrial relevance are detailed: production of strong pulsed electric and magnetic fields, intense radiation sources and pulsed electric (plasma) discharges.

Explosively Driven Pulsed Power: Helical Magnetic Flux Compression Generators


Andreas A. Neuber, "Explosively Driven Pulsed Power: Helical Magnetic Flux Compression Generators" Springer; 1 edition (December 31, 2005) ISBN:354026051X 280 pages PDF 7,8 Mb
While the basic operating principles of Helical Magnetic Flux Compression Generators are easy to understand, the details of their construction and performance limits have been described only in government reports, many of them classified. Conferences in the field of flux compression are also dominated by contributions from government (US and foreign) laboratories. And the government-sponsored research has usually been concerned with very large generators with explosive charges that require elaborate facilities and safety arrangements. This book emphasizes research into small generators (less than 500 grams of high explosives) and explains in detail the physical fundamentals, construction details, and parameter-variation effects related to them.

Modelling and Analysis of Hybrid Supervisory Systems: A Petri Net Approach


Emilia Villani, Paulo Eigi Miyagi, Robert Valette, " Modelling and Analysis of Hybrid Supervisory Systems: A Petri Net Approach"Springer; 1 edition (December 28, 2006) ISBN: 1846286506 246 pages PDF 2,8 Mb


Hybrid supervisory systems integrate and exchange information between discrete- and continuous-data-based controllers and subsystems. Application areas include process, manufacturing and service industries, healthcare, telecommunication, transportation and logistics, among others.From the hardware point of view, the rapid progress of information-processing power and its commercial availability has made possible the development of complex supervisory systems. Many barriers that restrained the evolution of supervisory systems in the past have been removed by the recent popularisation of the open-system paradigm. On the other hand, software has not followed the evolution in hardware and both the industrial and scientific communities have pointed out the need for a generic approach that guides the development of hybrid supervisory systems. Modelling and Analysis of Hybrid Supervisory Systems introduces a modelling formalism that merges Petri nets, differential equation systems and object-oriented methods; a formalism that is adequate for modelling complex and large-scale systems. To guide the designer and conduct hybrid modelling, the book describes a method that starts from the requirements of a supervisory system and results in a proposal for such a system. The method is mainly based on Unified Modelling Language diagrams, well-known tools in both academia and industry. In order to ensure that the supervisory system will behave as expected under any operational circumstances, a validation procedure that allows verification of the formal properties of the hybrid model is presented.In building a bridge between what is developed in academic research and what is available to the industrial professional, this monograph places particular emphasis on the description of real-world examples; three of these an HVAC management system, a landing system and a cane-sugar factory are discussed at length. It will interest academic researchers working with hybrid systems and their applications and will answer the need of industry-based engineers to unify their control of continuous- and discrete-event systems.


Ship Motion Control: Course Keeping and Roll Stabilisation Using Rudder and Fins


Tristan Perez, "Ship Motion Control: Course Keeping and Roll Stabilisation Using Rudder and Fins"Springer; 1 edition (August 5, 2005) ISBN: 1852339594 300 pages PDF 5,9 Mb

The impact of control system design on ship performance has been significant in different applications of ship motion control: course keeping, station keeping, roll stabilisation and vertical motion/riding control, diving, path following, etc. This monograph introduces ship motion control by studying the particular problems of control system design for course autopilots with rudder roll stabilisation and combined rudderfin stabilisers. Ship Motion Control revisits the ingredients that make these control designs challenging and proposes a contemporary control system design approach to meet that challenge.The key ingredients for a successful ship motion control system design are: appropriate mathematical models of the ship and the disturbances; understanding of how performance will be assessed; knowledge of fundamental limitations that may prevent designs from achieving the desired performance. The book is organised in four parts, the first three dealing with each of these and the fourth part addressing control system design. Specific topics covered include:modelling and simulation of ocean waves; ship dynamics; models of actuators; ship roll stabilisation devices; ship motion performance; analysis of fundamental limitations for stabiliser control system design; constrained control design via optimisation; autopilot design using optimal control; wave filtering; control system design for autopilots with rudder roll stabilisation; control system design for integrated rudder-fin stabiliser. Ship Motion Control will be of interest not only to the practising marine engineer but to the academic engaged in research into this important control problem, even if new to the area. It will also be an ideal source of reference for students and tutors involved with marine and control engineering courses.
