    • English
    Climate Change, Community Response, and Resilience: Insight for Socio-Ecological Sustainability, Volume Six presents a fundamental theoretical framework for understanding how community resilience and risk assessment affect climate change adaptation behavior. This framework is based on a 26-chapter theoretical and empirical examination that includes pioneer projects from various regions that illustrate the relationship between theory and practice, reflect a paradigm shift in climate change, community response, and resilience, and focus on these important aspects from a sectoral perspective. Climate change, ecological consequences and resilience are then discussed in the final section.

  • Micro Fluidization

    Fundamentals and Applications
    • 1st Edition
    • Guangwen Xu + 3 more
    • English
    Micro Fluidization: Fundamentals and Applications provides background and history on micro fluidized bed research and development, summarizes and analyzes the hydrodynamic characteristics of gas-solid micro fluidized beds, and delves into areas such as research results of delayed onsets of minimum, bubbling and slugging fluidization regimes, as well as of the advanced transitions to turbulent and fast fluidization regimes. Based on these results, the wall effects – the key mechanism resulting in the unique behavior of micro fluidization – are analyzed. Other sections discuss gas and solid mixing characteristics in terms of gas residence time distribution, gas backmixing, and solids mixing. Final sections focus on presentations of the so-called micro fluidized bed reaction analyzer (MFBRA) – a powerful tool for catalyst screening, process development, optimization of reaction parameters, studies of reaction mechanism and kinetics, among many other purposes. The book describes, in detail, the MFBRA’s system design characteristics, analytic methodologies and various applications in thermochemical and catalytic reaction analysis.
  • Acoustic Emission Signal Analysis and Damage Mode Identification of Composite Wind Turbine Blades

    • 1st Edition
    • Pengfei Liu
    • English
    Acoustic Emission Signal Analysis and Damage Mode Identification of Composite Wind Turbine Blades covers both the underlying theory and various techniques for effective structural monitoring of composite wind turbine blades via acoustic emission signal analysis, helping readers solve critical problems such as noise elimination, defect detection, damage mode identification, and more. Author Pengfei Liu introduces techniques for identifying and analyzing progressive failure under tension, delamination, damage localization, adhesive composite joint failure, and other degradation phenomena, outlining methods such as time-difference, wavelet, machine learning, and more including combined methods. The disadvantages and advantages of using each method are covered as are techniques for different blade-lengths and various blade substructures. Piezoelectric sensors are discussed as is experimental analysis of damage source localization. The book also takes great lengths to let readers know when techniques and concepts discussed can be applied to composite materials and structures beyond just wind turbine blades.

    Moving Particle Semi-implicit Method: Recent Developments and Applications offers detailed step-by-step guidance for advanced numerical models in the MPS method. With a strong focus on overcoming challenges, such as low improving accuracy and numerical stability, the book also examines the applications of MPS, particularly within nuclear engineering. Beginning with an introduction to grid-based and particle-based numerical methods, the book then reviews the original MPS method. Following chapters examine how the original method can be improved, covering topics such as improved discretization models, stabilization methods, multiphase flow and turbulence models, and improving efficiency. Closing chapters analyze applications in nuclear and ocean engineering, as well as considering future developments and implications. This book is an essential read for graduates, researchers and engineers interested in nuclear engineering and computational fluid dynamics.
