NUMERICAL ANALYSIS

Fundamentals of Die Casting Design.pdf

November 7, 2009 · Filed Under Mechanical & Industrial Engineering · Comment  · Tags: , , , ,

Taken from Abstract: Die-casting engineers have to compete not only with other die-casting companies, but also against other industries such as plastics, and composite materials. Clearly, the ”black art” approach, which has been an inseparable part of the engineer’s tools, is in need of being replaced by a scientific approach. Excuses that “science has not and never will work” need to be replaced with “science does work”. All technologies developed in recent years are described in a clear, simple manner in this book. All the errors of the old models and the violations of physical laws are shown. For example, the “common” pQ2 diagram violates many physical laws, such as the first and second laws of thermodynamics. Furthermore, the “common” pQ2 diagram produces trends that are the opposite of reality, which are described in this book.
The die casting engineer’s job is to produce maximum profits for the company.
In order to achieve this aim, the engineer must design high quality products at a minimum cost. Thus, understanding the economics of the die casting design and process are essential. These are described in mathematical form for the first time in this volume. Many new concepts and ideas are also introduced. For instance, how to minimize the scrap/cost due to the runner system, and what size of die casting machine is appropriate for a specific project.
The die-casting industry is undergoing a revolution, and this book is part of it. One reason (if one reason can describe the situation) companies such as Doehler Jorvis (the biggest die caster in the world) and Shelby are going bankrupt is that they do not know how to calculate and reduce their production costs. It is my hope that die-casters will turn such situations around by using the technologies presented in this book. I believe this is the only way to keep the die casting professionals and the industry itself, from being “left in the dust.”

Evolution of Physical Oceanography.pdf

Taken from Introduction: We have tried to tie the individual chapters together in a variety of ways. The book includes a general index of subjects and names, and also a reference list that gives the page number for each citation in the text. We hope that these features will make possible a rapid’ entry into the book by anyone seeking a discussion of a particular piece of work. Special care was taken in compiling the reference list to correct many common miscitations, some of which extend back nearly 100 years. The reader will notice overlap between chapters and even some dispute among them. We regard this as inevitable and healthy in a field undergoing the ferment of active progress. A consequence of this activity is that we did not attempt to impose a common notation upon the book, but we did ask the authors to avoid idiosyncratic schemes.
In the context of the question to the authors posed above, we are impressed in reading these chapters with how far we have come. When Henry Stommel entered physical oceanography in the early 1940s, the three authors of The Oceans, H. U. Sverdrup, Martin W.
Johnson, and Richard H. Fleming, could cover authoritatively, in one volume, the entirety of oceanography-physics, chemistry, biology, and geology. Today no single volume could cover one of these fields, and probably no three authors would have the temerity to attempt comprehensive descriptions of any. But we believe that the reader will find here a broad description of the present state and the historical evolution of physical oceanography.

Engineering and Design Reservoir Water Quality Analysis.pdf

This manual provides guidance for the assessment of reservoir water quality conditions, including reservoir releases and tailgaters. Procedures are generally presented without theoretical discussion, since these details can be found in referenced sources.

Holographic Dielectric Gratings: Theory and Practice.pdf

The photographic emulsion is treated as an artificially loaded material, i.e. as a suspension of grains in a gelatin base. A Mie scattering theory analysis is used and the effect of adjacent scatterers on the local field is accounted for by the Lorentz-Lorenz relation. The optical density of the emulsion is shown to be proportional to the number of grain present.

This document is aimed at 3rd and 4th years who need to revise matlab for use in coursework. Many of the examples are taken from Prof J.M.Maciejowski’s Getting started with Matlab and Dr Paul Smith’s Tutorial Guide to Matlab. most of the material also applies to using octave.
