Free Download Damir Godec, "A Guide to Additive Manufacturing "
English | ISBN: 3031058658 | 2022 | 352 pages | EPUB | 123 MB
This open access book gives both a theoretical and practical overview of several important aspects of additive manufacturing (AM). It is written in an educative style to enable the reader to understand and apply the material. It begins with an introduction to AM technologies and the general workflow, as well as an overview of the current standards within AM. In the following chapter, a more in-depth description is given of design optimization and simulation for AM in polymers and metals, including practical guidelines for topology optimization and the use of lattice structures. Special attention is also given to the economics of AM and when the technology offers a benefit compared to conventional manufacturing processes. This is followed by a chapter with practical insights into how AM materials and processing parameters are developed for both material extrusion and powder bed fusion. The final chapter describes functionally graded AM in various materials and technologies. Throughout the book, a large number of industrial applications are described to exemplify the benefits of AM.

Free Download A Gentle Introduction to Data, Learning, and Model Order Reduction: Techniques and Twinning Methodologies
English | 2025 | ISBN: 3031875710 | 243 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 19 MB
This open access book explores the latest advancements in simulation performance, driven by model order reduction, informed and augmented machine learning technologies and their combination into the so-called hybrid digital twins. It provides a comprehensive review of three key frameworks shaping modern engineering simulations: physics-based models, data-driven approaches, and hybrid techniques that integrate both. The book examines the limitations of traditional models, the role of data acquisition in uncovering underlying patterns, and how physics-informed and augmented learning techniques contribute to the development of digital twins. Organized into four sections-Around Data, Around Learning, Around Reduction, and Around Data Assimilation & Twinning-this book offers an essential resource for researchers, engineers, and students seeking to understand and apply cutting-edge simulation methodologies

Free Download Paul D. Ryan, "A Field Guide to the Geology of Western Ireland: The Birth and Death of an Ocean "
English | ISBN: 3030974782 | 2022 | 444 pages | EPUB | 339 MB
This book contains a comprehensive field guide, including detailed itineraries and supporting data, to the Geology of Western Ireland, a classic site for world geology. It facilitates study into the rock record of the Neoproterozoic 'birth' to the Devonian 'death' of the Iapetus Ocean along the Laurentian (North American) margin. The enormous variety of lithologies and processes available for study in this spectacularly exposed region include: fluviatile to deep-sea sediments; layered ultramafic intrusions to reverse zoned granite batholiths; zeolite to eclogite facies metamorphic assemblages; continental rifting; subduction processes; island arc evolution; arc-continent collision; Andean margin development; and continent-continent collision. An introduction to the geology, that includes information relevant to the planning and execution of field trips in the region, is followed by nine chapters each providing the necessary background, field itineraries, exercisesand points for debate, covering: the Laurentian basement and Neoproterozoic cover of North Mayo, Sligo, the Ox Mountains and Connemara; the metamorphic nappes and syn-orogenic intrusions of the Ordovician Grampian Orogeny; the Cambro-Ordovician subduction-accretion complex of Clew Bay; the obducted Ordovician fore-arc basin of South Mayo; the post-subduction flip late-Ordovician of South Connemara; the Silurian successor basins deformed during the final closure of the Iapetus Ocean; the late to post-orogenic Devonian sediments; the Devonian Granite batholiths ; and the post-orogenic Carboniferous cratonic sediments. Two final chapters summarise: the current tectonic interpretation of this region; areas for future research; and the extensive sources of geochemical and geophysical data.

Herodotus, one of the earliest and greatest of Western prose authors, set out in the late fifth century BC to describe the world as he knew it - its peoples and their achievements, together with the causes and course of the great wars that brought the Greek cities into conflict with the empires of the Near East. Each subsequent generation of historians has sought to use his text and to measure their knowledge of these cultures against his words.
