Energy Efficiency Manual: for everyone who uses energy, pays for utilities, designs and builds, is interested in energy conservation and the environment Feature

This is the primary reference, how-to guide, and sourcebook for energy conservation. It lets you improve efficiency and save money in all types of buildings and plants, ranging from individual houses to commercial buildings to large institutions and industrial plants. It is organized around 400 logically grouped energy conservation actions, presented in language that everyone understands.

It's for everyone who uses energy, pays for utilities, manages property, operates energy systems, designs, builds, and values conservation and the environment. It's loaded with features that help you quickly find the right information for each application. "Ratings" and "Selection Scorecards" identify your best conservation opportunities. "Traps & Tricks" ensure success. "Economics" estimate savings and costs. It has been acclaimed by professional and non-technical users. Publishers Weekly says it "answers just about any question [from] homeowner, plant manager, energy policy guru ... as practically useful as it is informative." 830 photographs and drawings illustrate the methods. Hundreds of examples give you a feel for real applications. A complete index makes it easy to find every topic and term.

Probabilistic Structural Dynamics Feature

Traditionally, engineers look to established safety factors to build sound structures, but the process is inefficient and often yields less than the desired results. This reference presents a different approach, allowing structural engineers to overcome the unpredictability of traditional modeling systems by developing sophisticated equation sets to solve specific structural problems.

Micro- and Opto-Electronic Materials and Structures: Physics, Mechanics, Design, Reliability, Packaging: Volume 1 Materials Physics / Materials ... Physical Design / Reliability and Packaging Feature

Micro- and Opto-Electronic Materials and Structures: Physics, Mechanics, Design, Reliability, Packaging is the first comprehensive reference to collect and present the most, up-to-date, in-depth, practical and easy-to-use information on the physics, mechanics, reliability and packaging of micro- and opto-electronic materials, assemblies, structures and systems. The chapters in these two volumes contain summaries of the state-of-the-art and present new information on recently developed important methods or devices. Furthermore, practical recommendations are offered on how to successfully apply current knowledge and recently developed technology to design, manufacture and operate viable, reliable and cost-effective electronic components or photonic devices. The emphasis is on the science and engineering of electronic and photonic packaging, on physical design problems, challenges and solutions.

Volume I focuses on physics and mechanics of micro- and opto-electronic structures and systems, i.e., on the science underpinnings of engineering methods and approaches used in microelectronics and photonics. Volume II deals with various practical aspects of reliability and packaging of micro- and opto-electronic systems. Internationally recognized experts and world leaders in particular areas of this branch of applied science and engineering contributed to the book.

Topics addressed in the book include, but are not limited to, the following:

physics and mechanics of polymer materials;

underfills;

electrically conductive adhesives;

plastic packages of IC devices;

lead free solders;

flip-chip packages;

portable electronics;

wirebond interconnects and metallurgical interconnections for harsh environments;

reliability and stress testing and accelerated life testing;

solder joint materials and technologies as well as lead-free solder materials and joints;

reliability of mobile electronic products, photonic materials, optical fibers and active and passive optical components;

thermal phenomena in micro- and opto-electronic systems and thermal stresses;

adhesion problems and solutions;

thin film materials, physics and mechanics;

photorefractive materials and devices;

nanomaterials and nanotechnology;

multiphysics modeling and optimization technologies;

experimental methods and techniques;

testing methods and techniques, subjected to thermal loading, stress analyses of processed silicon wafers, and many others.

The book is intended as a reference source and as a manual for electrical, materials, mechanical, and reliability engineers, as well as applied physicists and materials scientists. The book will be an essential tool for all those who are involved or interested in state-of-the-art in the analysis, design and manufacturing of micro- and opto-electronic systems.
