Principles of Woven Fabric Manufacturing

Principles of Woven Fabric Manufacturing

Weaving as a subject is an integral part of any textile engineering/technology program the others being fibre manufacturing yarn manufacturing and textile chemical processing. This book amalgamates both the compartments (preparatory processes and the loom mechanism) of weaving technology and presents a holistic picture. The machine descriptions are presented from the viewpoint of principles and no attempt has been made to make them exhaustive by incorporating various models or variants. The mathematical relations among various parameters have been derived starting from the first principles and each chapter concludes with solved numerical examples. | Principles of Woven Fabric Manufacturing

X-Ray Diffraction for Materials Research From Fundamentals to Applications

X-Ray Diffraction for Materials Research From Fundamentals to Applications

X-ray diffraction is a useful and powerful analysis technique for characterizing crystalline materials commonly employed in MSE physics and chemistry. This informative new book describes the principles of X-ray diffraction and its applications to materials characterization. It consists of three parts. The first deals with elementary crystallography and optics which is essential for understanding the theory of X-ray diffraction discussed in the second section of the book. Part 2 describes how the X-ray diffraction can be applied for characterizing such various forms of materials as thin films single crystals and powders. The third section of the book covers applications of X-ray diffraction. The book presents a number of examples to help readers better comprehend the subject. X-Ray Diffraction for Materials Research: From Fundamentals to Applications also • provides background knowledge of diffraction to enable nonspecialists to become familiar with the topics• covers the practical applications as well as the underlying principle of X-ray diffraction• presents appropriate examples with answers to help readers understand the contents more easily• includes thin film characterization by X-ray diffraction with relevant experimental techniques• presents a huge number of elaborately drawn graphics to help illustrate the content The book will help readers (students and researchers in materials science physics and chemistry) understand crystallography and crystal structures interference and diffraction structural analysis of bulk materials characterization of thin films and nondestructive measurement of internal stress and phase transition. Diffraction is an optical phenomenon and thus can be better understood when it is explained with an optical approach which has been neglected in other books. This book helps to fill that gap providing information to convey the concept of X-ray diffraction and how it can be applied to the materials analysis. This book will be a valuable reference book for researchers in the field and will work well as a good introductory book of X-ray diffraction for students in materials science physics and chemistry. | X-Ray Diffraction for Materials Research From Fundamentals to Applications

Structural Design from First Principles

Structural Design from First Principles

This enlightening textbook for undergraduates on civil engineering degree courses explains structural design from its mechanical principles showing the speed and simplicity of effective design from first principles. This text presents good approximate solutions to complex design problems such as Wembley-Arch type structures the design of thin-walled structures and long-span box girder bridges. Other more code-based textbooks concentrate on relatively simple member design and avoid some of the most interesting design problems because code compliant solutions are complex. Yet these problems can be addressed by relatively manageable techniques. The methods outlined here enable quick early stage ball-park design solutions to be considered and are also useful for checking finite element analysis solutions to complex problems. The conventions used in the book are in accordance with the Eurocodes especially where they provide convenient solutions that can be easily understood by students. Many of the topics such as composite beam design are straight applications of Eurocodes but with the underlying theory fully explained. The techniques are illustrated through a series of worked examples which develop in complexity with the more advanced questions forming extended exam type questions. A comprehensive range of fully worked tutorial questions are provided at the end of each section for students to practice in preparation for closed book exams. | Structural Design from First Principles

The Fundamental Principles of Finance

The Fundamental Principles of Finance

Finance is the study of value and how it is determined. Individuals small businesses and corporations regularly make use of value determinations for making strategic decisions that affect the future outcomes of their endeavors. The importance of accurate valuations cannot be overestimated; valuing assets too highly will lead to investing in assets whose costs are greater than their returns while undervaluing assets will lead to missed opportunities for growth. In some situations (such as a merger or an acquisition) the outcome of the decision can make or break the investor. The need for solid financial skills has never been more pressing than in today's global economy. The Fundamental Principles of Finance offers a new and innovative approach to financial theory. The book introduces three fundamental principles of finance that flow throughout the theoretical material covered in most corporate finance textbooks. These fundamental principles are developed in their own chapter of the book then referred to in each chapter introducing financial theory. In this way the theory is able to be mastered at a fundamental level. The interactions among the principles are introduced through the three precepts which help show the impact of the three principles on financial decision-making. This fresh and original approach to finance will be key reading for undergraduate students of introduction to finance corporate finance capital markets financial management and related courses as well as managers undertaking MBAs.
