Hyperloop Tube Design
O ovoj e-knjizi
It emphasizes the critical role of tube infrastructure, highlighting how advanced materials, precise pressure control using vacuum technology, and robust structural integrity are essential for hyperloop viability.
The book uniquely addresses the challenges of designing tubes capable of withstanding the combined stresses of high-speed travel and low-pressure environments, while promoting economic feasibility and environmental sustainability.
The book begins with the theoretical underpinnings of vacuum technology and high-speed aerodynamics before moving into practical considerations like material selection, which involves balancing tensile strength with resistance to corrosion.
Finite element analysis and case studies illustrate how different designs behave under operational loads.
Divided into three sections, the book first introduces hyperloop technology and its potential impact, then examines materials science, and finally concentrates on structural engineering aspects, including tube geometry optimization.
Drawing from academic research, industry reports, and data from global hyperloop test facilities, the book bridges the gap between theoretical concepts and real-world implementation.
It offers design guidelines applicable to existing and future projects, targeting engineers, scientists, and policymakers involved in hyperloop development, as well as students in civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering.
