Fatigue of Sintered Materials
Theory and Application
Powder Metallurgy (PM) is a general term which represents all techniques to produce solid-metal-based products from powders. PM (sintered) components are used widely in the engineering practice, particularly in the automotive industry. When determining the load capacity of dynamically loaded machine parts and structures made of sintered materials, the fatigue behaviour of critical areas should be considered, including crack initiation and the crack propagation period. In this book, the theoretical background of both PM-technology for producing sintered parts and the fatigue phenomenon of dynamically loaded components are described in detail.…

Robust Control
Supplementary Topics
This "Robust Control" course consists of 25 lectures aimed at graduate students in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. It focuses on how modern robust control theory addresses real-world problems. Robustness is defined by three requirements: the plant model may be inexact or uncertain, the system must handle external perturbations, and the controller should be simple for easy implementation. The course is divided into five parts: Mathematical Background and Linear Matrix Inequalities in Control Theory, Absolute Stability and H1-Control, Attractive Ellipsoid Method (AEM), Sliding Mode Control (SMC), and Engineering Examples. Topics include…

This book provides mechanical engineering students with the theoretical and fundamental basics of the Finite Element (FE) method used in structural mechanics. Students should be able to apply this knowledge to develop FE models and use them to analyze systems both statically and dynamically. The author believes that learning about the Finite Element tool without learning how to build computer codes for it makes it just a theoretical tool, good only for very simple models with very few elements, rather than being useful for practical problems. In most of the…
