This book is a compendium of the proceedings of the International Conference on Big-Data and Cloud Computing. The papers discuss the recent advances in the areas of big data analytics, data analytics in cloud, smart cities and grid, etc. This volume primarily focuses on the application of knowledge which promotes ideas for solving problems of the society through cutting-edge big-data technologies. The essays featured in this proceeding provide novel ideas that contribute for the growth of world class research and development. It will be useful to researchers in the area of advanced engineering sciences.

From the moment of its launch in 1998, the Rover 75 caught the public's imagination. Here, at last, was a car that felt like traditional Rovers and had been designed in Britain. Rover 75 and MG ZT charts the evolution of the models from the early 1990s onwards including full production histories and comprehensive specification details. Contents include: the development and production of the Rover 75 under BMW in the 1990s; becoming the MG Rover Group - from BMW to Phoenix Venture Holdings; expanding the Rover 75 with Longbridge Rover Salooons and Tourers; the MG models of the new millennium - the ZT and ZT-T; monogram 75, the five-millionth Rover; a facelift for the cars with the new V8 engines; moving production to China and the end of the MG Rover Group. Illustrated with 267 colour photographs, this is essential reading for motoring enthusiasts and fans of the Rover brand.

Getting a Rover K-Series engine properly up and running can be a difficult task, but ultimately the result is always worthwhile. Illustrated with over 300 photographs, Rover K-Series Engine - Maintenance, Repair and Modification is a practical guide to keeping these unique engines in fine working order. The most well-known issue with the K-Series is the head gasket, and this book demonstrates how to identify common faults, before giving practical advice on how best to solve them. Step-by-step guidance on all aspects of long-term engine maintenance is provided, in addition to the improvements required to prevent further problems. A K-Series engine is then stripped down to examine its clever and interesting structure, and is rebuilt with improvements. Authors of over twenty automotive books and countless articles in assorted motoring magazines, Iain Ayre and Rob Hawkins have combined their knowledge to bring you this book on the Rover K-Series engine, which is fully illustrated with 356 colour photographs.

This book presents the select proceedings of the second International Conference on Recent Advances in Mechanical Engineering (RAME 2020). The topics covered include aerodynamics and fluid mechanics, automation, automotive engineering, composites, ceramics and polymers processing, computational mechanics, failure and fracture mechanics, friction, tribology and surface engineering, heating and ventilation, air conditioning system, industrial engineering, IC engines, turbomachinery and alternative fuels, machinability and formability of materials, mechanisms and machines, metrology and computer-aided inspection, micro- and nano-mechanics, modelling, simulation and optimization, product design and development, rapid manufacturing technologies and prototyping, solid mechanics and structural mechanics, thermodynamics and heat transfer, traditional and non-traditional machining processes, vibration and acoustics. The book also discusses various energy-efficient renewable and non-renewable resources and technologies, strategies and technologies for sustainable development and energy & environmental interaction. The book is a valuable reference for beginners, researchers, and professionals interested in sustainable construction and allied fields.

Written for students and practicing engineers working in automotive engineering, this book provides a fundamental yet comprehensive understanding of chassis systems and requires little prior knowledge on the part of the reader. It presents the material in a practical and realistic manner, using reverse engineering as a basis for examples to reinforce understanding of the topics. The specifications and characteristics of vehicles currently on the market are used to exemplify the theory’s application, and care is taken to connect the various topics covered, so as to clearly demonstrate their interrelationships. The book opens with a chapter on basic vehicle mechanics, which include the forces acting on a vehicle in motion, assuming a rigid body. It then proceeds to a chapter on steering systems, which provides readers with a firm understanding of the principles and forces involved under static and dynamic loading. The next chapter focuses on vehicle dynamics by considering suspension systems—tyres, linkages, springs, dampers etc. The chapter on chassis structures and materials includes analysis tools (typically, finite element analysis) and design features that are used to reduce mass and increase occupant safety in modern vehicles. The final chapter on Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) includes a basic overview of acoustic and vibration theory and makes use of extensive research investigations and practical experience as a means of addressing NVH issues. In all subject areas the authors take into account the latest trends, anticipating the move towards electric vehicles, on-board diagnostic monitoring, active systems and performance optimisation. The book features a number of worked examples and case studies based on recent research projects. All students, including those on Master’s level degree courses in Automotive Engineering, and professionals in industry who want to gain a better understanding of vehicle chassis engineering, will benefit from this book.

An illustrated inside look at the story of the cars designed to save MG Rover. This book is an essential guide to the MG Z cars.

The book focuses on both theory and applications in the broad areas of communication technology, computer science and information security. This two volume book contains the Proceedings of International Conference on Advanced Computing and Intelligent Engineering. These volumes bring together academic scientists, professors, research scholars and students to share and disseminate information on knowledge and scientific research works related to computing, networking, and informatics to discuss the practical challenges encountered and the solutions adopted. The book also promotes translation of basic research into applied investigation and convert applied investigation into practice.
