Features

Discusses the physical principles of ultrasound interaction with metals

Examines the propagation of high-intensity ultrasound in liquids, including cavitation, acoustic streaming, and atomization

Focuses on the propagation of ultrasound in solids, emphasizing variation of dislocation structure under alternating stresses and the combined effects of ultrasonics, heating, and working

Considers practical applications of high-intensity ultrasound for metallurgical processing, including melt degassing, solidification, powder metallurgy, composite manufacturing, coating processes, and zone refining

Explores the ultrasound effect on the manufacturing process and possible systems for transmitting vibration to the load, actual systems designs, process effects, and manufacturing merits for using ultrasound

Summary

Practical Software Engineering presents an introduction to software engineering for a first course. Using the C language, the text stresses the themes of software development by teams; the importance of maintenance; reusability; complete and correct documentation; testing throughout the life cycle; and the use of (CASE) computer-aided software engineering tools to boost productivity. The use of dialogues and a continuous case study enhances understanding of the concepts presented. The text is intended for sophomore to senior level students being introduced to software engineering in computer science, management information systems (MIS), data processing, or wherever students are new to the subject.
