Current Trends in Engineering Practice, Volume III

The Indian National Academy of Engineering (INAE), founded in 1987, comprises India's most distinguished engineers, engineer-scientists and technologists covering the entire spectrum of engineering disciplines. INAE functions as an apex body and promotes the practice of engineering & technology and the related sciences for their application to solving problems of national importance. INAE launched a Distinguished Visiting Professorship (DVP) Scheme jointly with All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) in 1999. The Scheme envisages promotion of industry-institute interaction by facilitating the dissemination of knowledge through the expertise of experienced and knowledgeable persons from industry to integrate their rich industrial experience with technical education. CURRENT TRENDS IN ENGINEERING PRACTICE Volume III is a compilation of papers based on the lectures delivered by industry experts in engineering colleges under the AICTE-INAE Distinguished Visiting Professorship scheme. It deals with recent developments and practices adopted in various projects in different engineering disciplines and specializations - Advanced Finite Element Structural Analysis; Structural Engineering; Concrete Technology; LEAN Construction; Nanotechnology; Product Lifecycle and Visualization Tools; Defluoridation of Water; Multiuser Radio Communication Techniques; Space Links; Satellite Communication Services and Applications; Science, Technology and Applications of Superalloys; Titanium Hardware for Strategic Sectors; Application of APQP, a QS-9000 Tool for Quality Improvement; Hot Dip Galvanizing; Corrosion Problems in Chemical Process Industries and Role of Engineer's in India's Development.
