Acting as a support resource for practitioners and professionals looking to advance their understanding of complex mechatronic systems, this book explains their design and advanced developments from first principles to practical applications.
This book conceptualizes supply chain collaboration as seven interconnecting elements including information sharing, incentive alignment, goal congruence, decision synchronization, resource sharing, as well as communication and joint knowledge creation.
Monte Carlo simulation is one of the best tools for performing realistic analysis of complex systems as it allows most of the limiting assumptions on system behavior to be relaxed.
This book provides a logical sequence of steps for the derivation of relevant equations for automotive cam mechanisms. Originally derived for use in high performance engines, other applications include production autos, and printing and packaging machinery.
This book covers the use of recycled industrial waste as aggregates in concrete, reviewing properties of aggregates and offering procedures for estimating the properties of concrete containing construction and demolition waste in light of codes and practices.
