Simulations for Design and Manufacturing: Select Papers From Aimtdr 2016 (Lecture Notes On Multidisciplinary Industrial Engineering)
by Ravi Kant Uday S. DixitThis book focuses on numerical simulations of manufacturing processes, discussing the use of numerical simulation techniques for design and analysis of the components and the manufacturing systems. Experimental studies on manufacturing processes are costly, time consuming and limited to the facilities available. Numerical simulations can help study the process at a faster rate and for a wide range of process conditions. They also provide good prediction accuracy and deeper insights into the process. The simulation models do not require any pre-simulation, experimental or analytical results, making them highly suitable and widely used for the reliable prediction of process outcomes. The book is based on selected proceedings of AIMTDR 2016. The chapters discuss topics relating to various simulation techniques, such as computational fluid dynamics, heat flow, thermo-mechanical analysis, molecular dynamics, multibody dynamic analysis, and operational modal analysis. These simulation techniques are used to: 1) design the components, 2) to investigate the effect of critical process parameters on the process outcome, 3) to explore the physics of the process, 4) to analyse the feasibility of the process or design, and 5) to optimize the process. A wide range of advanced manufacturing processes are covered, including friction stir welding, electro-discharge machining, electro-chemical machining, magnetic pulse welding, milling with MQL (minimum quantity lubrication), electromagnetic cladding, abrasive flow machining, incremental sheet forming, ultrasonic assisted turning, TIG welding, and laser sintering. This book will be useful to researchers and professional engineers alike.
Simulations in Swift 5: Design and Implement with Swift Playgrounds
by Beau NouvelleDesign and implement simulations using Apples Swift Playgrounds. Computer simulations are used to replicate the physical systems we see all around us. They help us solve problems by performing experiments that may otherwise be impossible in the real world. This book uses simulations to solve counter-intuitive logic puzzles, create procedural artworks, and build habitats for digital lifeforms. To help you create your own simulations using the Swift programming language, this book is filled with projects that you can easily follow along with. All you need is a Mac with the latest version of Xcode installed. All projects are written in Xcode’s Playgrounds. This keeps the process simple. No need to setup an Apple account, or learn anything further about building apps.Simulations are used in many areas within computer science and yet, barely anyone is teaching them. Sure, the fundamentals are in algorithm design, but simulations are a step above that. Usually when writing an algorithm you have a specific outcome in mind. However, when you create a simulation, the system you are modelling can be far more unpredictable than sorting a list, or navigating a maze. Simulations in Swift 5 will guide you through all of this.What You'll LearnSimulate situations with advanced algorithms to solve advanced problemsIncorporate real-world physics into simulated problemsPredict biological and other systems behavior and the outcome of events based on presented factorsWho This Book Is ForSwift programmers interested in tackling fun projects in Swift involving advanced algorithms and factors
Simulator-based Human Factors Studies Across 25 Years
by Ann Britt Skjerve Andreas ByeThe Halden Man-Machine Laboratory (HAMMLAB) has been at the heart of human factors research at the OECD Halden Reactor Project (HRP). The HRP is sponsored by a group of national organizations, representing nuclear power plant regulators, utilities, and research institutions. The HRP is hosted by the Institute for Energy Technology (IFE) in Halden, Norway. HAMMLAB comprises three full-scale nuclear power plant control room research simulators. The simulator studies performed in HAMMLAB have traditionally been experimental in nature. In a simulator it is possible to study events as they unfold in real time, in a highly realistic operational environment under partially controlled conditions. This means that a wide range of human factors issues, which would be impossible or highly impracticable to study in real-life settings, can thus be addressed in HAMMLAB. Simulator-based Human Factors Studies Across 25 Years celebrates the twenty-fifth anniversary of HAMMLAB by reviewing the human factors studies performed in HAMMLAB across this time-span. A range of human factors issues have been addressed, including: * human-system interfaces; * alarm systems; * computerized procedures; * human-automation interaction; * staffing, teamwork and human reliability. The aim of HAMMLAB studies has always been the same: to generate knowledge for solving current and future challenges in nuclear power plant operation to contribute to safety. The outcomes of HAMMLAB studies have been used to support design and assessment of nuclear power plant control rooms.

Sin contenidos no hay marketing (digital)
by Raquel OberlanderCómo crear una estrategia de content marketing para enamorar a tus clientes y transformarlos en embajadores de tu marca. El mundo cambió. Los seres humanos cambiamos. El marketing también debe hacerlo. Y para eso solo hay un camino: los contenidos, que permiten entregar valor real a las personas. Hacer marketing de contenidos es mucho más que levantarse un día y subir un post a Instagram o un video a TikTok. Es definir una estrategia, trazar un plan y ejecutarlo. Un proceso que implica muchísimas etapas, tareas, canales, tácticas, roles y saberes, que Raquel Oberlander tuvo la capacidad de condensar en un modelo al que bautizó HEPIC 10 y que comparte con infinita generosidad en este libro. Crear contenidos obliga a las organizaciones a definir un propósito que va mucho más allá de las ventas y la rentabilidad. Obliga a mirar el alma, en lugar de mirarse el ombligo. Y luego entregar aquello que se descubre en forma de mensajes que no interrumpan lo que las personas están viendo, sino que sean lo que quieren ver (o leer o escuchar). Sin contenidos no hay marketing (digital) está dedicado a profesionales de marketing y comunicación, pero también a los CEO, gerentes, emprendedores, músicos, abogados, contadores, coaches, porque, de una manera u otra, todos necesitamos generar contenido para promover el crecimiento de nuestros proyectos y de nuestra marca personal. Y también es ideal para los creadores de contenido, ya sean productores audiovisuales, diseñadores gráficos, redactores, influencers, freelancers, community managers, que son los aliados clave y grandes protagonistas en este proceso.

Single-Shot 3D Sensing Close to Physical Limits and Information Limits (Springer Theses)
by Florian WillomitzerThis thesis discusses the physical and information theoretical limits of optical 3D metrology, and, based on these principal considerations, introduces a novel single-shot 3D video camera that works close to these limits. There are serious obstacles for a “perfect” 3D-camera: The author explains that it is impossible to achieve a data density better than one third of the available video pixels. Available single-shot 3D cameras yet display much lower data density, because there is one more obstacle: The object surface must be “encoded” in a non-ambiguous way, commonly by projecting sophisticated patterns. However, encoding devours space-bandwidth and reduces the output data density. The dissertation explains how this profound dilemma of 3D metrology can be solved, exploiting just two synchronized video cameras and a static projection pattern.The introduced single-shot 3D video camera, designed for macroscopic live scenes, displays an unprecedented quality and density of the 3D point cloud. The lateral resolution and depth precision are limited only by physics. Like a hologram, each movie-frame encompasses the full 3D information about the object surface and the observation perspective can be varied while watching the 3D movie.
A Single Trapped Rydberg Ion (Springer Theses)
by Gerard HigginsSystems of trapped ions and systems of ultracold Rydberg atoms are used at the forefront of quantum physics research and they make strong contenders as platforms for quantum technologies. Trapped Rydberg ions are a new hybrid technology envisaged to have both the exquisite control of trapped ion systems and the strong interactions of Rydberg atoms.In this work a single trapped Rydberg ion is experimentally investigated. A trapped strontium ion is excited to Rydberg states using two ultraviolet lasers. Effects of the strong trapping electric fields on the highly-sensitive Rydberg ion are studied. After mitigating unwanted trap effects, the ion is coherently excited to Rydberg states and a quantum gate is demonstrated. This thesis lays much of the experimental groundwork for research using this novel system.
