Flexible Couplings


Book Description

FLEXIBLE COUPLINGS is a reference book that provides a wealth of information for almost everybody that deals with machinery: from the engineer that designs them, the plant engineer that selects them, & for the maintenance personnel that installs, maintains, & must prevent machinery failures. The book fills a void, as the subject of flexible couplings is only briefly discussed in most engineering handbooks & college textbooks. Flexible couplings represent a major expenditure in parts replacement & maintenance downtime. Couplinlg failures can be spectacular, always represent a large cost &, unfortunately, COUPLINGS FAILURES HAVE SOMETIMES RESULTED IN LOSS OF LIMBS & LIFE. The major parts of the book are: * Description of major types of couplings, including advantages & disadvantages * Calculations * Machinery vibrations as influenced by couplings * selection of couplings based on need & characteristics * Installation & removal procedures * Maintenance for long service life, & * Failure analysis & prevention. The author is a world-renowned expert, who has extensive experience in coupling development, maintenance, & failure analysis. Order directly from CAROLINE PUBLISHING, P.O.

Handbook of Machine Tool Analysis


Book Description

Written by seasoned experts in the field, this reference explores efficient methods of design, structural analysis, and algorithm formulation to: reduce waste, noise, and breakage in system function; identify faults in system construction; and achieve optimal machine tool performance. The authors investigate issues such as force, noise, vibration,




Implementing Concurrent Engineering in Small Companies


Book Description

Presenting a systematic approach to concurrent engineering (CE), this reference accommodates the small corporation's quest to incorporate better design management practices. The author provides an easy-to-follow methodology that eliminates the need for costly consultants, promotes environmentally friendly solutions, and introduces three main design models to aid in new, evolutionary, and incremental product design. She also examines how the adoption of CE practices improves overall performance. Topics include engineering specifications for product parameters, conceptual and embodiment design, vendor selection and approval, prototyping, and line and equipment installation.




Fluidized Bed Combustion


Book Description

A realization of recent clean energy initiatives, fluidized bed combustion (FBC) has quickly won industry preference due to its ability to burn materials as diverse as low-grade coals, biomass, and industrial and municipal waste. Fluidized Bed Combustion catalogs the fundamental physical and chemical processes required of bubbling fluidized beds before launching into application-centered coverage of hot-gas generator, incinerator, and boiler concepts and design, calculations for regime parameters and dimensions, and all aspects of FBC operation. It enumerates the environmental consequences of fluidized bed processes and proposes measures to reduce the formation of harmful emissions.




Industrial Noise Control and Acoustics


Book Description

Compiling strategies from more than 30 years of experience, this book provides numerous case studies that illustrate the implementation of noise control applications, as well as solutions to common dilemmas encountered in noise reduction processes. It offers methods for predicting the noise generation level of common systems such as fans, motors, c
