This open access book introduces external factors such as loads and constraints into the theory of configurational vulnerability, thereby overcoming the classical theory's inability to account for external influences. Stability is a governing factor in the design of...
This open access book provides a comprehensive overview of the author’s in-depth insights into the theory, prediction methods, and developmental trends of creep instability and failure in coal-rock masses within mining stopes. The content primarily covers topics...
This open-access book reports on both experimental and numerical findings from the H2020-funded project TEAMAero (Towards Effective Flow Control and Mitigation of Shock Effects in Aeronautical Applications). It covers novel contributions on improving...
This book highlights the importance of cybersecurity in the maritime domain, including the human and societal aspects of both cyber-crime and cyber-defense. The authors present mechanisms for early detection and prevention of cyber-attacks, as well as security protocols...
This open access book compiles the outcome of the 3rd Stuttgart Conference on Automotive Production (SCAP2024). The peer-reviewed contributions in this book are arranged thematically in four parts and cover a wide variety of topics: (A) Digital Methods and Models,...
This open access book is a coherent and accessible source of knowledge on flexibility services for energy. Local flexibility services are a commercial mechanism which allows participants to be renumerated for delivering a change in their usual power use, in real time...
This open access book presents the Coal remains the primary energy source in China, with an estimated total coal reserve of 59 trillion tons at depths of less than 2000 meters. Among these, over 50% lie at depths exceeding 1000 meters, primarily distributed in central...
This open access book investigates the epistemological concept of and the knowledge transfer interwoven with the moveable paper wheels found in medieval and early modern books—the so-called “volvelles.” The earliest known volvelles emerged in the...
This book challenges many assumptions commonly used in structural topology optimization. These assumptions include: (1) to find the unique and globally optimal solution—the ‘best’ design, (2) under prescribed support conditions, (3) for given loading...
This open access book provides the uniaxial, triaxial, fatigue, creep, creep-fatigue loading tests in order to investigate the salt mechanical response and the related damage mechanisms defining relation between plastic deformation, dilatancy and damage. Based on the...
This open access book presents 12 years of cutting-edge research on additive manufacturing (AM), with a focus on innovative powder- and beam-based techniques. Developed through the Collaborative Research Center 814 at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg,...
This open access book considers the role of uncertainty in the design and development of large-scale engineering systems. The focus of the book is the safe behaviour of nuclear power plants in both routine operations and in incident situations. The book introduces...
This book explores the key principles and challenges of implementing the socio-ecological transition, with a particular focus on Quebec, Canada. It addresses these issues from both research and educational perspectives, offering actionable strategies to accelerate this...
