This three-volume book gives a thorough and comprehensive presentation of vibration and acoustic theories. Different from traditional textbooks which typically deal with some aspects of either acoustic or vibration problems, it is unique of this book to combine those two correlated subjects together. Moreover, it provides fundamental analysis and mathematical descriptions for several crucial phenomena of Vibro-Acoustics which are quite useful in noise reduction, including how structures are excited, energy flows from an excitation point to a sound radiating surface, and finally how a structure radiates noise to a surrounding fluid. Many measurement results included in the text make the reading interesting and informative. Problems/questions are listed at the end of each chapter and the solutions are provided. This will help the readers to understand the topics of Vibro-Acoustics more deeply. The book should be of interest to anyone interested in sound and vibration, vehicle acoustics, ship acoustics and interior aircraft noise. This is the first volume, and covers the following topics: Mechanical systems with one degree of freedom, Frequency domain, Waves in solids, Interaction between longitudinal and transverse waves, General wave equation, Wave attenuation due to losses and transmission across junctions, Longitudinal vibrations of finite beams, Flexural vibrations of finite beams, Flexural vibrations of finite plates.

Molecular surface science has made enormous progress in the past 30 years. The development can be characterized by a revolution in fundamental knowledge obtained from simple model systems and by an explosion in the number of experimental techniques. The last 10 years has seen an equally rapid development of quantum mechanical modeling of surface processes using Density Functional Theory (DFT). Chemical Bonding at Surfaces and Interfaces focuses on phenomena and concepts rather than on experimental or theoretical techniques. The aim is to provide the common basis for describing the interaction of atoms and molecules with surfaces and this to be used very broadly in science and technology. The book begins with an overview of structural information on surface adsorbates and discusses the structure of a number of important chemisorption systems. Chapter 2 describes in detail the chemical bond between atoms or molecules and a metal surface in the observed surface structures. A detailed description of experimental information on the dynamics of bond-formation and bond-breaking at surfaces make up Chapter 3. Followed by an in-depth analysis of aspects of heterogeneous catalysis based on the d-band model. In Chapter 5 adsorption and chemistry on the enormously important Si and Ge semiconductor surfaces are covered. In the remaining two Chapters the book moves on from solid-gas interfaces and looks at solid-liquid interface processes. In the final chapter an overview is given of the environmentally important chemical processes occurring on mineral and oxide surfaces in contact with water and electrolytes. Gives examples of how modern theoretical DFT techniques can be used to design heterogeneous catalysts This book suits the rapid introduction of methods and concepts from surface science into a broad range of scientific disciplines where the interaction between a solid and the surrounding gas or liquid phase is an essential component Shows how insight into chemical bonding at surfaces can be applied to a range of scientific problems in heterogeneous catalysis, electrochemistry, environmental science and semiconductor processing Provides both the fundamental perspective and an overview of chemical bonding in terms of structure, electronic structure and dynamics of bond rearrangements at surfaces

I den nordiska folkhögskolan har det alltid funnits ett inslag av praktisk skolning: exempelvis har lantmän och fritidsledare kunnat få sin utbildning där. Men de praktiska utbildningarna var länge en" icke-fråga" när folkbildningsforskningen satte fart. I Två sidor av samma mynt? belyser en grupp nordiska forskare spänningen mellan folkbildning och yrkesutbildning och lyfter fram hur förhållandet mellan inriktningarna utvecklats över tiden. Författarna gör nedslag i folkhögskolornas konkreta verklighet, bland timplaner och pedagogiska ideal, från mitten av 1800-talet till idag. Texterna spänner över stora områden tidsmässigt, geografiskt och ämnesmässigt, och pekar på såväl gemensamma drag som skillnader i verksamheten hos de nordiska folkhögskolorna. Tidigare forskning om folkhögskolorna har präglats av skolformens folkbildande karaktär. Fokus har legat på arvet efter den inflytelserike danske prästen och föregångaren N. F. S. Grundtvig, och på betoningen av folkhögskolan som en väg till ett aktivt medborgarskap. I Två sidor av samma mynt? nyanserar och fördjupar skribenterna den gängse bilden av den nordiska folkhögskolan av igår och idag.

Framgångssagan om när Volvo fick kinesiska ägare Historien om Volvo Cars under åren 2008 2018, saknar motstycke i bilvärlden. Aldrig tidigare har ett så stort och etablerat bilföretag i väst köpts av en biltillverkare från Kina. Aldrig tidigare har osäkerheten kring ett köp varit så stor och tvivlen och frågorna så många. Och aldrig tidigare har den framgång som sedan följde varit större och mer sensationell. Volvos revansch är berättelsen om det lyckosamma samarbetet mellan den tidigare okände kinesiske entreprenören Li Shufu och ett av världens mest anrika bilföretag. De mest högljudda kritikerna till affären menade att Li Shufu troligtvis skulle låta demontera Volvos fabriker och flytta dem till Kina för att där producera budgetbilar av dubiös kvalitet. Men olyckskorparna fick fel. I dag vet vi att Volvo tack vare detta ömsesidiga och respektfulla samarbete nu står starkare än någonsin. I Volvos revansch - Så befriades tigern berättar journalisterna Håkan Matson och Anders Nilsson levande och initierat om den otroligt spännande resa som Volvo tagit de senaste tio åren.
