Publications on relevant topics play a crucial role in disseminating knowledge and advancing the understanding of various fields. They can take many forms, including books, reports, whitepapers, and policy briefs. Publications often offer in-depth analysis, insights, and recommendations that can inform policy-making, shape public discourse, and drive innovation. In academia, publications are the primary means of sharing research findings and contributing to the body of knowledge in a particular field. They are often peer-reviewed and rigorously evaluated to ensure quality and accuracy. Outside of academia, publications can provide valuable insights and perspectives on topics ranging from economics and politics to health and social issues. Whether one is a researcher, policymaker, or simply interested in learning more about a particular topic, publications are an invaluable resource that can deepen one’s understanding and inform decision-making.

An Introduction to Environmental Test Engineering

by Andy Tomlinson CEng HonFSEE Published by New Generation Publishing, 2019. ISBN 978-1-78955-401-4. Hardcover. Available on-line from Amazon, Waterstones, etc. This new book (published 17th January 2019) by Andy Tomlinson has grown out of a range of short courses which he has delivered for industry over the last 35 years, many in conjunction with the UK Society of Environmental Engineers. It provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject for the novice environmental test engineer and will be an essential reference book for the test laboratory. Whilst, numerous publications are available covering the individual themes of vibration, shock, temperature, humidity, etc., this text draws together these important topics and provides, with a practical focus, an inclusive view from the perspective of an environmental test engineer. Key features Details of measurement, analysis and control procedures to simulate a wide range of test environments Clear and concise explanations of concepts, techniques and pitfalls in testing Includes derivations, pertinent formulae, charts, nomograms, calculation and empirical data needed on a day to day basis Contents Dynamic Testing Overview; Signals and their Representation; Vibration and Shock Measurement; Electromagnetic Vibration Generators; Power Supplies for E/M Generators; Mechanical (Classical) Shock; Shock Response Spectra; Signal Analysis Techniques; Vibration Fixtures; Vibration Control; Maximax Response Spectra; Fatigue Damage Spectra; Climatic Testing Overview; Temperature Testing and Measurement; Humidity Testing and Measurement; Climatic Control Systems; Heating and Refrigeration Plant; Altitude Testing; Solar Radiation; Measurement Uncertainty; Contamination Testing. About the Author Andy Tomlinson was a senior lecturer at Cranfield University, where he ran contract research activities and built a significant portfolio of training courses in environmental testing. After retiring from Cranfield he ran his own company which provided short courses on a variety of environmental testing topics, training over 4000 delegates from the UK and Europe. Andy is a professionally registered Chartered Engineer in the UK and an Honorary Fellow of the Society of Environmental Engineers.
The SEEES Environmental Engineering Handbook

The SEEES Environmental Engineering Handbook

The recently re-published Environmental Engineering Handbook has been generated by the Swedish Environmental Engineering Society (SEES) and is available to member companies within the European Environmental Engineering Societies (CEEES) at a 10% discount from the 110 Euro cover price. The original version of the Environmental Engineering Handbook was published as an aid to the education of the subject of environmental engineering. It was aimed at both high school pupils, under-graduates, graduates as well as those involved in the design and evaluation of products against the environmental conditions they may experience during their life. The new publication has been substantially updated and revised. It and provides a good source of basic and advanced information on the design, evaluation and testing of equipment exposed to a wide range of natural and man-made environmental situations. The Environmental Engineering Handbook is intended to be used as an encyclopaedia. It give general guidance in the correct methodology for Environmental Engineering work, as well as fundamental rules and advice on how such work, correctly specified and verified, leads to a safe and reliable product. The Handbook can also used also as a basis for Environmental Engineering courses and tutorials. The Handbook follows a similar layout to the previous edition, but contains an extended index and content lists. The overarching content is: 1 Introduction. 2 Methodology. This section contains an overview of environmental engineering process to both the design and evaluation of products. The process has been brought up to date against International standards and sets out the issues and process necessary to ensure that commercial equipment is suitably evaluated before it enters the market place. 3 Environmental Factors. This substantial section (420 pages) considers the various natural and man-made environmental conditions a product could experience and how these can be addressed. Addressed are the natural (climatic) conditions such as temperature, humidity and solar radiation. Also addressed are precipitation, ice, low pressure, dust and sand as well as the effects of flora and fauna. The man-made or induced conditions are also addressed which may be mechanical, (vibration, shock and acceleration) chemical or electrical. 4 Glossary. The glossary provides a good reference for identifying many terms used, in environmental engineering, which sometimes prevents a lay reader from gaining a good understanding of the subject. 5 Application Examples. This section provides examples provided by experienced practitioners of the environmental engineering process on real world products. The handbook is available from Technology Books Online.
