Getting the most from trains means maximizing the effectivenes of engineering. The papers presented in this text continue the theme of wheelset safety, and look t current developments to improve performance and cost-effectiveness of wheels and axles, and their associated components.

The text explores the use of numerical simulation as a support for the design and fabrication of welded components. The papers cover such topics as: welding residual stress and distortion simulation; friction stir welding; and the integrity of welding joints.

This text reviews the present status and future potential of the different systems of energy storage, their role in power generation by renewables specifically, and the electricty market generally.

Powder metallurgy is a highly attractive process because it permits the production of unique parts with unique properties by controlling their microstructure. This text is aimed at those new to the subject, but also stands as a useful resource for those existing users.

As governments seek to achieve the benefits of privatization and to drive down the price of electricity by introducing competition in generation, the role of those responsible for maintaining the power plant has changed radically. This text presents conference papers on the subject.

The proceedings of a conference, this text informs the reader of new developments and industrial applications of current technology relevant to the vibration of machines and assemblies.

Discussing recent developments in refrigeration and heat pump technologies, this text includes coverage of such topics as: electronic controls and their part in system organization; cooling by absorption; and innovations in vapour absorption cycles.

The progressive advances in the understanding of composite materials is particularly important in the harsh environment of the offshore oil and gas industry. This text presents a collection of papers from an IMechE seminar on the subject.

Devoted to the various aspects of fire and explosions, this volume reviews the analytical tools and their range of applicablity for the prediction of fire, smoke, movement and explosion events.

One of seven proceedings texts from the Railtech Conference '98, this volume covers the subject of getting trains into service.

Looks at some of the interesting developments in passenger service vehicles and heavy goods transportation. This work contains papers that consider aspects such as exhaust emissions; diagnostic equipment; solar powered refrigerated trailers; tractor to trailer communications; satellite communications; truck telematics; and, better wiring systems.

Broad themes of this text on the subject of automotive electronics include: EMC and component design; software and controllers; electronic systems; testing and maintenance; and power devices.

The papers from this IMEchE conference deal with all aspects of environmental management relating to land, water and air, describing the technologies applicable to these areas.

As the DTI launch a new wave energy programme, this publication reviews recent advances in each of the relevant technologies and presents it to a wider audience.
