Von Krafteparallelogramm und Impulserhaltungssatz zu sportlichen Hochstleistungen und Rekorden Sport ist angewandte Physik – wer hatte das vermutet? Bei naherem Hinsehen ist dieser Gedanke jedoch gar nicht so abwegig. Gerade sind wir zweifach fasziniert, wenn wir Profisportlern bei der >Arbeit< zusehen: Mit ihren trainierten Korpern fuhren sie scheinbar perfekte Bewegungsablaufe aus. Neuartige Materialien, eine verbesserte Ausrustung und ein dur ...
Clear, integrated coverage of all aspects of nonlinear optics—phenomena, materials, and devices Coauthored by George Stegeman, one of the most highly respected pioneers of nonlinear optics—with contributions on applications from Robert Stegeman—this book covers nonlinear optics from a combined physics, optics, materials science, and devices perspective. It offers a thoroughly balanced treatment of concepts, nonlinear materials, practical aspects ...
Wir alle kennen das: Wir konnten (vielleicht) schon mal erklaren, warum es auf der einen Seite des Berges regnet und auf der anderen nicht, wie GPS-Navigation funktioniert, oder warum ein Ei in der Mikrowelle explodiert – aber heute kriegen wir das nicht mehr uberzeugend hin. Wie schade! Und: Wie gut, dass in diesem Buch der bekannte Wissenschaftsvermittler Jo Hermans viele dieser Alltagsphanomene nun so anschaulich erklart, dass wir vergnuglich ...
A one-stop guide to transformer ageing, presenting industrially relevant state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques backed by extensive research data Offers a comprehensive coverage of transformer ageing topics including insulation materials, condition monitoring and diagnostic techniques Features chapters on smart transformer monitoring frameworks, transformer life estimation and biodegradable oil Highlights industrially relevant techniques adopted ...
Examines the foundation of pulse power technology in detail to optimize the technology in modern engineering settings Pulsed power technologies could be an answer to many cutting-edge applications. The challenge is in how to develop this high-power/high-energy technology to fit current market demands of low-energy consuming applications. This book provides a comprehensive look at pulsed power technology and shows how it can be improved upon for ...
Transport systems are facing an impossible dilemma: satisfy an increasing demand for mobility of people and goods, while decreasing their fossil-energy requirements and preserving the environment. Additionally, transport has an opportunity to evolve in a changing world, with new services, technologies but also new requirements (fast delivery, reliability, improved accessibility). In this book, recent research works are reported around the tripty ...
Fundamental of Nuclear Engineering is derived from over 25 years of teaching undergraduate and graduate courses on nuclear engineering. The material has been extensively class tested and provides the most comprehensive textbook and reference on the fundamentals of nuclear engineering. It includes a broad range of important areas in the nuclear engineering field; nuclear and atomic theory; nuclear reactor physics, design, control/dynamics, safety ...
This modern textbook offers an introduction to Quantum Mechanics as a theory that underlies the world around us, from atoms and molecules to materials, lasers, and other applications. The main features of the book are: Emphasis on the key principles with minimal mathematical formalism Demystifying discussions of the basic features of quantum systems, using dimensional analysis and order-of-magnitude estimates to develop intuition Comprehensive o ...
Fossil fuels, especially petroleum, are still the primary energy source all over the world. With the advent of hydraulic fracturing (i.e. “fracking”), directional drilling, and other technological advances, petroleum and reservoir engineers all over the world have been able to produce much greater results, in much more difficult areas, than ever before, to meet higher global demand. “Enhanced oil recovery (EOR)” is one of the hottest and most im ...
