These fields are induced by thermal stresses in/around isotropic components of the porous two-component materials. The thermal stresses, which are observed during a cooling process, originate below relaxation temperature of a porous two-component material. These stresses are a consequence of different thermal expansion coefficients of material components. The thermal stresses and the stress-strain fields are determined for such a model material system, which corresponds to two types of real porous two-component materials with isotropic components. Results of this book are applicable within basic research (solid continuum mechanics, theoretical physics, materials science), as well as within the practice of engineering. The analytical models in this book can be incorporated into analytical, computational and experimental models of material stresses, interactions of energy barriers with dislocations and magnetic domain walls. Material scientists and engineers can determine such numerical values of structural parameters to result in maximum values of the thermal stresses and the stress-strain fields. Consequently, these maximum values result in maximum mechanical properties of the real porous two-component materials. Finally, this book presents such mathematical methods, which are required to determine these analytical models.  ]]> https://novapublishers.com/shop/visible-light-communications-applications-and-research-advances/ Mon, 31 Oct 2022 20:37:42 +0000 https://novapublishers.com/?post_type=product&p=143539 Ajit Kumar, PhD - Assistant Professor, School of Engineering, Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering, Presidency University, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India Nishant Sharan, PhD - Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering, Madanapalle Institute of Technology & Science (MITS), Chittoor, AP, India S.

About 50-70 % of all energy produced in the world is consumed by the electric drive. However, its operation is often accompanied by the appearance of various kinds of defects and damage caused by poor-quality manufacturing or repair, failure of individual elements of electric motors without loss of performance. It results in more energy consumption and premature repair of electrical equipment, and hence in an increase in material costs and enlarged use of energy resources. To eliminate the negative consequences of the operation of an electric drive with defects and damage to induction motors, the monograph presents methods and systems of fault-tolerant control that allow the adjustment of the operating modes using the means of a variable-frequency electric drive. The main idea of such systems is to maintain the operability of technological mechanisms in the event of various malfunctions. The worked out methods and systems make it possible to detect various types of damage at the initial stages of their development. Then, based on the obtained information, they allow upgrading the control algorithm to maintain the operable state of the electromechanical equipment to the possibility of replacing the corresponding equipment or repairing the electric drive motor. That is, the most rational area for using the developed fault-tolerant control systems is industrial equipment, which must continue to operate, despite the deterioration in dynamic characteristics and energy efficiency.]]> https://novapublishers.com/shop/advances-in-materials-science-research-volume-60/ Mon, 17 Oct 2022 20:32:55 +0000 https://novapublishers.com/?post_type=product&p=142999 Maryann C.

Production has high importance in each country in point of technical, social, environmental, and economic aspects. On another side, sustainability is a hyper-disciplinary issue which became one of the main concerns across the world. It encompasses sections of society as academic fields, and all companies, factories, organization systems, and consumers. It is a hyper-disciplinary issue because involves all aspects of human life as economic, environmental, and social aspects. Therefore, it is necessary to define and explain the various considerations and elements of sustainable production. The goal of the book is to define all aspects and elements of sustainable production for readers. This book introduces and describes sustainable production elements. It includes production, design, implementation, management, and sustainability description. Sustainable production has different aspects as technical, economic, environmental, and social. Each of these aspects has different elements in sustainable production. In this book, different elements in each aspect have been described where many of them are affected by each other. For the production a product, all or some of the elements may be considered to be respected. This book can assist the readers in considering the sustainability elements in their lives, jobs, and researches. The readers may be students, researchers, manufacturers, and those who conduct any producing or servicing activity. **Order the printed version and SAVE 50% on the e-book with Print+eBook**]]> https://novapublishers.com/shop/advances-in-materials-science-research-volume-59/ Tue, 20 Sep 2022 19:35:52 +0000 https://novapublishers.com/?post_type=product&p=141968 Maryann C.
