The Design Method


Free Download The Design Method by S. A. Gregory (Lecturer in Chemical Engineering, Industrial Consultant)
English | PDF | 1966 | 338 Pages | ISBN : 1489961690 | 41.7 MB
THIS book about The Design Method provides a composite statement from different technologies on the nature of design, covering the principal range of activities of the designer, and a relatively unified structure of thought against which the work of the designer may be considered. A review of work and thought on the design process is given, tagether with an appraisal of systematic methods, and an analytical approach to the process of design, with the possibility of its extension by scientific research. The relationships between the behavioural sciences and design are also discussed. Finally, a glossary of design and a substantial, although not comprehensive, biblio- graphy are included.

English | ISBN: 041537829X | 2006 | 260 pages | EPUB, PDF | 2 MB + 1471 KB
With the crisis of leadership in the western democracies, there has been a growth of interest in how leaders outside of the west emerge and consolidate their positions. This book analyses the communication strategies of six charismatic non-western leaders: Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Fidel Castro, Ayatollah Khomeini, Mohammed Mahathir and Lee Kuan Yew. The book addresses the following questions in order to arrive at a better understanding of communication and leadership:

The Basalt Fiber-Material Design Art


Free Download The Basalt Fiber-Material Design Art by Marco Mancini
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 106 Pages | ISBN : 3031461010 | 83.3 MB
This book presents a design research on the basalt fiber, a natural mineral material with important characteristics, and investigates the material’s properties, production techniques, and most common uses, while also delving into aspects yet to be improved. The work presents a part of original research in between art and design, in which concepts, prototypes, and ideas are proposed, aimed at the enhancement of basalt fiber also from an esthetic point of view and not only from a performance one. By working on its perceived qualities and creative and formal potential, it is possible to support and extend the use of this material in many areas of design, including product, exhibit, cultural industries, and fashion. Considering that environmental regulations are increasingly stringent, the use of basalt fiber may in some cases be more advantageous than other popular technical fibers, both because of its own performance characteristics and specifically because of its inherent sustainability.

Structural Design and Controllable Preparation of the Function-Directed Crystalline Materials


Free Download Structural Design and Controllable Preparation of the Function-Directed Crystalline Materials by Maochun Hong
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 115 Pages | ISBN : 9819937671 | 30.3 MB
This book presents the findings of a major research program investigating structural design and controllable preparation of function-directed crystalline materials. The program was launched by the National Natural Science Foundation of China during the 11th Five-Year Plan period, which was started in October 2008 and concluded at the end of 2016. This book first summarizes the overall scientific objectives and the current state of the art of crystalline materials research in China and the international frontier. It also focuses on exploring the relationships between structures, compositions, and properties of crystalline materials and proposes new mechanisms and models for new materials exploration. In addition, it introduces a new functional-motif theory that can guide the development of crystalline materials with optical, electrical, and other composite functions and presents new research methods for the controlled synthesis and assembly of crystalline materials, and detection and characterization of functional motifs. Furthermore, practical applications for materials such as photoelectric conversion materials, nonlinear optical materials, laser and fluorescent crystal materials, and ferroelectric and microwave dielectric materials have been described. Given its scope, this book is of interest to researchers who work in crystalline materials. It also promotes the multidisciplinary collaboration among chemistry, materials science, and physics.

Product Engineering Eco-Design, Technologies and Green Energy


Free Download Product Engineering: Eco-Design, Technologies and Green Energy by Doru Talabă, Thomas Roche
English | PDF (True) | 2005 | 548 Pages | ISBN : 1402029322 | 7.3 MB
This book contains an edited version of the lectures and selected contributions presented during the Advanced Summer Institute on "Product Engineering: Eco-Design, Technologies and Green Energy" organized at the st Transilvania University of Brasov (Romania) in the period 14-21 of July 2004. The Advanced Summer Institute (ASI) was organized in the framework of the European FP5 funded project "ADEPT – Advanced computer aided Design of Ecological Products and Technologies integrating green energy sources" and was devoted to the Product Engineering field, with particular attention to the aspects related to the environmentally conscious design and green energy sources. The objective of the ASI was to create the framework for meeting of leading scientists with PhD holders and advanced PhD students carrying out research in the field of Eco-Design, CAD, Simulation technologies, Robotics, Manufacturing and green energy sources. The aim was to create conditions for high level training through a series of 15 invited lectures presented by world reputed scientists, as well as to give possibilities for young researchers to present their achievements and to establish professional contacts. The ASI was seen also as an opportunity for academics, practitioners and consultants from Europe and elsewhere who are involved in the study, management, development and implementation of product engineering principles in the learning and teaching sectors, as well as professionals to come together and share ideas on projects and examples of best practice.

Optical Polymer Waveguides From the Design to the Final 3D-Opto Mechatronic Integrated Device (2024)


Free Download Optical Polymer Waveguides: From the Design to the Final 3D-Opto Mechatronic Integrated Device by Jörg Franke, Ludger Overmeyer, Norbert Lindlein, Karlheinz Bock, Stefan Kaierle, Oliver Suttmann, Klaus-Jürgen Wolter
English | EPUB | 2022 | 283 Pages | ISBN : 3030928535 | 106.6 MB
Light signals in optical waveguides can be used to transmit very large amounts of data quickly and largely without interference. In the industrial and infrastructural sectors, e.g. in the automotive and aerospace industries, the demand to further exploit this potential is therefore increasing. Which technologies can be used to effectively integrate systems that transmit data by means of light into existing components? This is a central question for current research. So far, there have been some technical limitations in this regard. For example, it is difficult to couple the signal of an optical waveguide to other optical waveguides without interruption. There is also a lack of suitable fabrication technologies for three-dimensional waveguides, as well as design and simulation environments for 3D opto-MID. This book addresses these and other challenges.
