Este libro viene motivado por la necesidad de crear la documentación necesaria para que el profesor o profesora pueda dedicarse a enseñar. En nuestra labor docente hay un tiempo de elaboración de todo aquello que es necesario para el control y el seguimiento del alumnado. Esta tarea no es poca, muchas veces dura a todo lo largo del curso, y a veces nos 'angustia' y no nos deja avanzar en nuestra principal tarea: la enseñanza. Desde hace años, todos los docentes que pasamos por los diferentes talleres de mecanizacion de los institutos, nos encontramos con la ardua tarea de hacer la programacion, de decidir que piezas hacer, de innovarlas, de seleccionarlas (segun el grado de conocimientos del grupo), de hacer el pedido de material, de temporizar, de ver que medios disponemos.Y ademas, adaptarnos al nivel de conocimientos del grupo. Este libro pretende facilitar toda esa labor, y que desde un primer momento, al inicio del curso, tener claro que el trabajo de la programacion, de las fichas de trabajo del alumnado, esta todo listo. Facilitaremos ficheros de calculo para determinar que material comprar, ejemplos para el control del progreso del alumnado, de modelos de control de asistencia, que objetivos se cumpliran al realizar las diferentes piezas, y que criterios de evaluacion podremos usar. Y ademas, un amplio abanico de piezas de diferente grado de dificultad, para que el docente pueda adaptarlo al grado de diversidad que exista en su grupo. Con este libro dispondran de un manual de aprendizaje, de ejemplos detallados paso a paso, con imagenes de inmejorable calidad, que el alumnado podra seguir de forma autonoma, y que al docente le permitira centrarse en el trabajo de taller. Podra ampliarlo o enriquecerlo. Podra dedicarse a PENSAR en su grupo, en como mejorar los medios de los que dispone y como hacer participe al alumnado. Y poder involucrar a aquellos alumnos o alumnas que no han alcanzado la inquietud necesaria. Y sobre todo no nos olvidemos de un aspecto muy importante, de velar por la SEGURIDAD de todos ellos.

El aeropuerto de Girona-Costa Brava es un claro exponente de cómo el turismo influye en el desarrollo del transporte y sus infraestructuras. Efectivamente, fueron aquellos primeros turistas que conocieron estas tierras catalanas, tras aterrizar en los aeropuertos vecinos de Barcelona y Perpignan, quienes propiciaron la creacion y posterior desarrollo de este aeropuerto, como entrada abierta a las turisticas localidades de la Costa Brava.Con habilidad y teson, las autoridades municipales y provinciales, asi como las entidades sociales y economicas de la region apoyaron su construccion. En 1967 este proyecto se hizo realidad, lo que supuso un gran apoyo e impulso para el desarrollo turistico y en general para toda la economia regional.Con la liberalizacion del transporte aereo, impulsada por la Union Europea, el Aeropuerto de Girona ha visto resurgir su potencial, superando las previsiones mas optimistas. No cabe duda que la contribucion de sus trabajadores y las inversiones llevadas a cabo por Aena han permitido hacer frente a este crecimiento y conservar unas importantes expectativas de desarrollo futuro. Por ello la publicacion de este libro resulta una oportunidad para dar a conocer toda una historia de superacion, esfuerzo y colaboracion entre instituciones y trabajadores que han permitido que hoy se dibuje un devenir prometedor y repleto de esperanzas para esta infraestructura gerundense.Indice de la publicacion:1.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been widely adopted in the military world over the last decade and the success of these military applications is increasingly driving efforts to establish unmanned aircraft in non-military roles. Introduction to UAV Systems, 4th edition provides a comprehensive introduction to all of the elements of a complete Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS). It addresses the air vehicle, mission planning and control, several types of mission payloads, data links and how they interact with mission performance, and launch and recovery concepts. This book provides enough information to encourage a student to learn more; to provide a specialist with a basic appreciation of the technical issues that drive other parts of the system and interact with their specialty; or to help a program manager understand system-level tradeoffs and know what questions to ask. Key features: Comprehensive overview of all elements of a UAS and of how they interact. Introduces the underlying concepts of key subsystems. Emphasizes system-integration issues and how they relate to subsystem design choices. Practical discussion of issues informed by lessons learned in UAV programs. Introduction to UAV Systems, 4th edition is written both for newcomers to the subject and for experienced members of the UAV community who desire a comprehensive overview at the system level. As well as being a primary text for an introductory course on UAS or a supplementary text in a course that goes into more depth in one of the individual technologies involved in a UAS, this book is a useful overview for practicing engineers, researchers, managers, and consultants interested in UAV systems.

Salir del ensimismamiento, experimentar las potencialidades de la formación y la cultura, abrir caminos por el mundo, tales podrían ser los enunciados de una de las más fructíferas líneas del movimiento regenerador surgido de la gran crisis española de final del siglo XIX. Algunos de sus resultados son ya bien conocidos, entre los cuales destaca con luz propia el de las pensiones en el extranjero, muy en particular de las gestionadas por la JAE desde 1907. El presente libro aborda esa misma tematica en el campo de la formacion y el desarrollo de la ciencia aplicada. Desde esa misma fecha, en efecto, iniciativas semejantes cristalizaron en pensiones de ampliacion de estudios para ingenieros y de formacion en nuevas tecnicas y procedimientos empiricos para obreros manuales procedentes de fabricas, talleres y granjas nacionales. Su organizacion fue confiada poco despues a un organismo estatal autonomo, la Junta de Patronato de Pensiones de Ingenieros y Obreros en el Extranjero (JPIOE), que desarrollara su obra ininterrumpidamente, bajo diferentes nombres, hasta mas aca de la guerra civil. Pero sobre este esqueleto basico, el trabajo se adentra ademas en un amplio espectro de cuestiones que le son inseparables. Como telon de fondo esta todo el desarrollo de la enseñanza profesional, la eclosion de las politicas sociales desarrolladas desde 1920 por el nuevo Ministerio de Trabajo, la aparicion de un nuevo tipo de reflexiones sobre la gestion del Estado y sobre la manera de abordar los problemas de la productividad del trabajo y su organizacion ante las nuevas exigencias de competitividad de la segunda revolucion industrial, las vicisitudes de la innovacion tecnica y de su transferencia y adaptacion a nuevos contextos y, en fin, los interrogantes mas generales acerca de las relaciones entre educacion y desarrollo economico.

Transcontinental Infrastructure Needs to 2030/50 explores the long-term opportunities and challenges facing major gateway and transport hub infrastructures -- ports, airports and major rail corridors - in the coming decades. The report uses projections and scenarios to assess the broader economic outlook and future infrastructure requirements, and examines the options for financing these, not least against the backdrop of the economic recession and financial crisis which have significantly modified the risks and potential rewards associated with major infrastructure projects. Building on numerous in-depth case studies from Europe, North America and Asia, the report offers insights into the economic prospects for these key facilities and identifies policy options for improved gateway and corridor infrastructure in the future..

Whilst most contemporary books in the aerospace propulsion field are dedicated primarily to gas turbine engines, there is often little or no coverage of other propulsion systems and devices such as propeller and helicopter rotors or detailed attention to rocket engines. By taking a wider viewpoint, "Powered Flight - The Engineering of Aerospace Propulsion" aims to provide a broader context, allowing observations and comparisons to be made across systems that are overlooked by focusing on a single aspect alone. The physics and history of aerospace propulsion are built on step-by-step, coupled with the development of an appreciation for the mathematics involved in the science and engineering of propulsion. Combining the author''s experience as a researcher, an industry professional and a lecturer in graduate and undergraduate aerospace engineering, "Powered Flight - The Engineering of Aerospace Propulsion" covers its subject matter both theoretically and with an awareness of the practicalities of the industry. To ensure that the content is clear, representative but also interesting the text is complimented by a range of relevant graphs and photographs including representative engineering, in addition to several propeller performance charts. These items provide excellent reference and support materials for graduate and undergraduate projects and exercises. Students in the field of aerospace engineering will find that "Powered Flight - The Engineering of Aerospace Propulsion" supports their studies from the introductory stage and throughout more intensive follow-on studies.

Airbreathing Propulsion covers the physics of combustion, fluid and thermo-dynamics, and structural mechanics of airbreathing engines, including piston, turboprop, turbojet, turbofan, and ramjet engines. End-of-chapter exercises allow the reader to practice the fundamental concepts behind airbreathing propulsion, and the included PAGIC computer code will help the reader to examine the relationships between the performance parameters of different engines. Large amounts of data have on many different piston, turbojet, and turboprop engines have been compiled for this book and are included as an appendix. This textbook is ideal for senior undergraduate and graduate students studying aeronautical engineering, aerospace engineering, and mechanical engineering.

The author's approach is one of continuum models of the aerodynamic flow interacting with a flexible structure whose behavior is governed by partial differential equations. Both linear and nonlinear models are considered although much of the book is concerned with the former while keeping the latter clearly in view. A complete chapter is also devoted to nonlinear theory. The author has provided new insights into the classical inviscid aerodynamics and raises novel and interesting questions on fundamental issues that have too often been neglected or forgotten in the development of the early history of the subject. The author contrasts his approach with discrete models for the unsteady aerodynamic flow and the finite element model for the structure. Much of the aeroelasticity has been developed with applications formerly in mind because of its enormous consequences for the safety of aircraft. Aeroelastic instabilities such as divergence and flutter and aeroelastic responses to gusts can pose a significant hazard to the aircraft and impact its performance. Yet, it is now recognized that there are many other physical phenomena that have similar characteristics ranging from flows around flexible tall buildings and long span bridges, alternate energy sources such as electric power generation by smart structures to flows internal to the human body. From the foreword: "For the theorist and applied mathematician who wishes an introduction to this fascinating subject as well as for the experienced aeroelastician who is open to new challenges and a fresh viewpoint, this book and its author have much to offer the reader." Earl Dowell, Duke University, USA

There is a large gap between the engineering course in tensor algebra on the one hand and the treatment of linear transformations within classical linear algebra on the other hand. The aim of this modern textbook is to bridge this gap by means of the consequent and fundamental exposition. The book primarily addresses engineering students with some initial knowledge of matrix algebra. Thereby the mathematical formalism is applied as far as it is absolutely necessary. Numerous exercises are provided in the book and are accompanied by solutions, enabling self-study. The last chapters of the book deal with modern developments in the theory of isotropic and anisotropic tensor functions and their applications to continuum mechanics and are therefore of high interest for PhD-students and scientists working in this area. This third edition is completed by a number of additional figures, examples and exercises. The text and formulae have been revised and improved where necessary.

A comprehensive approach to the air vehicle design process using the principles of systems engineering Due to the high cost and the risks associated with development, complex aircraft systems have become a prime candidate for the adoption of systems engineering methodologies. This book presents the entire process of aircraft design based on a systems engineering approach from conceptual design phase, through to preliminary design phase and to detail design phase. Presenting in one volume the methodologies behind aircraft design, this book covers the components and the issues affected by design procedures. The basic topics that are essential to the process, such as aerodynamics, flight stability and control, aero-structure, and aircraft performance are reviewed in various chapters where required. Based on these fundamentals and design requirements, the author explains the design process in a holistic manner to emphasise the integration of the individual components into the overall design. Throughout the book the various design options are considered and weighed against each other, to give readers a practical understanding of the process overall. Readers with knowledge of the fundamental concepts of aerodynamics, propulsion, aero-structure, and flight dynamics will find this book ideal to progress towards the next stage in their understanding of the topic. Furthermore, the broad variety of design techniques covered ensures that readers have the freedom and flexibility to satisfy the design requirements when approaching real-world projects. Key features: Provides full coverage of the design aspects of an air vehicle including: aeronautical concepts, design techniques and design flowcharts Features end of chapter problems to reinforce the learning process as well as fully solved design examples at component level Includes fundamental explanations for aeronautical engineering students and practicing engineers Features a solutions manual to sample questions on the books companion website
