Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete: A Practitioner’s Guide to SFRC Slabs
by Xavier DestréeSteel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) for structures dates back to 1925, yet it remains largely unknown to many engineers and contractors. Essential information is often buried in codes, reports, and standards. This book presents the essential information required by engineers to utilize SFRC effectively, achieving superior results across a range of applications.The focus is on its most common use in flat, horizontal cast in situ applications, such as ground-bearing slabs, ground-suspended slabs, suspended elevated slabs, and raft slab foundations for buildings, which present more opportunities than three-dimensional structures. Prefabrication and paving are discussed where they intersect with these main applications. Material and structural testing are addressed to guide the design for these typical applications, with attention also given to shrinkage, cracking, fire resistance of slabs and walls, and environmental benefits, alongside future opportunities and challenges. This unique book provides simple practical guidance for designing and placing SFRC It is especially helpful for design-and-build contractors and professional engineers It offers simple tools and methods to launch a project

Steel Odyssey: Tracing the Journey of Humanity Through the Lens of Steel
by Ohjoon KWON JOO Choi Hae-Geon LEEIn this wide-ranging interdisciplinary work, the authors draw on history, anthropology, and materials engineering to present a comprehensive and ambitious examination of the multifaceted roles of iron and steel throughout history and the current and future challenges faced by the steel industry.Ohjoon Kwon, Joo Choi, and Hae-Geon Lee provide readers with an in-depth understanding of the history of iron and steel and their impact on human society from a materials engineering perspective. They begin by describing the characteristics of iron and steel and the history of human use of and interaction with these metals by compiling the fundamental knowledge necessary to understand iron’s unique properties and metallurgical phenomena. Following this, they explain the influence of steel on human society and culture, focusing on Industrial Revolution and warfare. They also give examples that are rarely discussed elsewhere, such as developments in Asia or iron’s influence on thought and philosophy using Confucianism and Marxism as examples. Readers will then be able to apply this contextual knowledge to address the profound impact of emerging challenges, such as global environmental issues and the Fourth Industrial Revolution.Despite the technical nature of this book, all terminology is fully explained to facilitate better comprehension for those who may not possess an engineering education or a direct interest in metallurgy. This book is therefore invaluable not only as a technical book but also as a guide to the development history of human civilization and its future challenges.
Steel Plate Shear Walls with Gravity Load: Theory and Design
by Yang LvThis book is written by subject experts based on the recent research results in steel plate shear walls considering the gravity load effect. It establishes a vertical stress distribution of the walls under compression and in-plane bending load and an inclination angle of the tensile field strip. The stress throughout the inclined tensile strip, as we consider the effect of the vertical stress distribution, is determined using the von Mises yield criterion. The shear strength is calculated by integrating the shear stress along the width. The proposed theoretical model is verified by tests and numerical simulations. Researchers, scientists and engineers in the field of structural engineering can benefit from the book. As such, this book provides valuable knowledge, useful methods, and practical algorithms that can be considered in practical design of building structures adopting a steel shear wall system.

Steel Structures: Design using FEM
by Rolf Kindmann Matthias KrausThis book presents the design of steel structures using finite element methods (FEM) according to the current state of the art in Germany and the rest of Europe. After a short introduction on the basics of the design, this book illustrates the FEM with a focus on internal forces, displacements, critical loads and modal shapes. Next to finite element procedures for linear calculations considering the stress states of normal force, biaxial bending and warping torsion, non-linear calculations and the stability cases of flexural buckling, lateral torsional buckling and plate buckling are concentrated on significantly. In this context, design procedures for stability according to the standard Eurocode 3 is introduced and discussed. In addition, important fundamental issues are covered, such as the determination of cross-section properties as well as the elastic and plastic cross-section resistance. Complementary, finite element procedures for cross sections are dealt with, which will have an increasing importance in future. This book has evolved within the teaching activities of the authors in the lecture Computer-oriented Design of Steel Structures on the Master?s Program Computational Engineering at the University of Bochum. It covers the total variety of demands needed to be discussed for the safe, economic and modern design of steel structures.

Steganography Techniques for Digital Images
by Abid YahyaThis book covers newly developed and novel Steganography techniques and algorithms. The book outlines techniques to provide security to a variety of applications using Steganography, with the goal of both hindering an adversary from decoding a hidden message, and also preventing an adversary from suspecting the existence of covert communications. The book looks into applying these newly designed and improved algorithms to provide a new and efficient Steganographic system, called Characteristic Region-Based Image Steganography (CR-BIS). The algorithms combine both the robustness of the Speeded-Up Robust Features technique (SURF) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) to achieve characteristic region Steganography synchronization. The book also touches on how to avoid hiding data in the whole image by dynamically selecting characteristic regions for the process of embedding. Applies and discusses innovative techniques for hiding text in a digital image file or even using it as a key to the encryption;Provides a variety of methods to achieve characteristic region Steganography synchronization;Shows how Steganography improves upon cryptography by using obscurity features.
Steigerung der Bahngenauigkeit mobiler Industrieroboter durch eine Modellerweiterung mittels künstlicher neuronaler Netze (Mechanics and Adaptronics)
by Maximilian NeitmannMobile Roboter besitzen das Potenzial, zu deutlichen Effizienzsteigerungen in der Fertigung kohlenstofffaserverstärkter Kunststoffe zu führen, wenn sie die aktuell üblichen Sondermaschinen ersetzen. Dazu müssen die mobilen Roboter Bahngenauigkeiten im Submillimeterbereich erreichen. Da stationäre Roboter diese Bahngenauigkeiten mit Modellerweiterungen erreichen können, ist es die Kernfrage dieser Arbeit, ob diese auf mobile Roboter übertragbar sind. Bahngenauigkeitsuntersuchungen zeigen, dass sich die mobile Plattform in erster Linie durch eine herabgesetzte Fundamentsteifigkeit auswirkt. Weiterhin wird beobachtet, dass die Trägheitskräfte des Roboterarmes genügen können, um eine Bewegung der Plattform relativ zum Hallenboden zu erzeugen. Die Arbeit zeigt, dass künstliche neuronale Netze in der Lage sind, den Bahnfehler des mobilen Roboters mit einer mittleren Abweichung zum gemessenen Bahnfehler von 0,3mm vorhersagen zu können und damit potentiell dazu geeignet sind, die Bahngenauigkeit eines mobilen Roboters in den Submillimeterbereich zu steigern. Durch den Austausch des Bahninterpolators zwischen der Aufnahme der Trainingsdaten und der Erprobung der Modellerweiterung kann die Arbeit keine Genauigkeitssteigerungen zeigen. Mit einer Erweiterung des Trainingsdatensatzes oder durch den Einsatz nur eines einzigen Bahninterpolators scheint es jedoch möglich zu sein, dass Folgearbeiten die Steigerung der Bahngenauigkeit in den Submillimeterbereich nachweisen können.
