Shear Thickening Fluids in Protective Applications


Free Download Shear Thickening Fluids in Protective Applications by Selim Gürgen
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 108 Pages | ISBN : 3031429508 | 17.2 MB
This book is a complete reference to the use of shear thickening fluid (STF) in protective applications. It discusses the adaptive behavior of STF in various systems and how it is used effectively in a wide range of protective applications from low-velocity to high-velocity conditions. Covered applications include STF-based energy absorbing systems, anti-impact structures, deceleration devices, shock attenuation composites, and body armor applications. Shear Thickening Fluid in Protective Applications will be a valuable reference for practicing engineers, researchers, and scientists working in advanced materials, protective applications, and smart structures.

Noise Sources in Turbulent Shear Flows Fundamentals and Applications


Free Download Noise Sources in Turbulent Shear Flows: Fundamentals and Applications by Roberto Camussi
English | PDF | 2013 | 453 Pages | ISBN : 3709114578 | 9.5 MB
The articles in this volume present the state-of-the-art in noise prediction, modeling and measurement. The articles are partially based on class notes provided during the course `Noise sources in turbulent shear flows’, given at CISM on April 2011. The first part contains general concepts of aero acoustics, including vortex sound theory and acoustic analogies, in the second part particular emphasis is put into arguments of interest for engineers and relevant for aircraft design: jet noise, airfoil broadband noise, boundary layer noise (including interior noise and its control) and the concept of noise sources, their theoretical modeling and identification in turbulent lows. All these arguments are treated extensively with the inclusion of many practical examples and references to engineering applications.
