Interdisciplinary Research in Engineering: Steps towards Breakthrough Innovation for Sustainable Development

Interdisciplinary Research in Engineering: Steps towards Breakthrough Innovation for Sustainable Development

Description:

Interdisciplinary field of engineering and applied sciences forms the base of a sustainable development philosophy for all economic and social fields. Design, development and innovation of processes, technologies and products that meet the needs and requirements of customers and society in a sustainable framework, constitute the focus of this book. Results of over 69 postdoctoral researcher papers of engineering related to information society technologies, sustainable development, energy and environment, as well as innovative products, processes and materials are included.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: The 69 papers cover information society technologies; sustainable development, energy, and environment; innovative materials and processing technologies; engineering decisions in mechanical engineering; computational methods and algorithms for research and modeling; sensors, measurements, robotics and control; and related themes. Among specific topics are a prototype for the creation and interactive visualization of three-dimensional human face models, optimizing microgrid operations with a heuristic energy management algorithm, the mechanical behavior of new composite materials reinforced by waste glass fiber, the influence of brush cutter vibrations on a human body, and a simulation analysis of prefrontal cortex magnetic stimulation.
