Scientific Modeling and Simulations
(Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Engineering)
Author: Sidney Yip, Tomas DiΓ‘z de la Rubia | Size: 14.56 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Springer | Year: March 11, 2009 | Pages: 402 | ISBN: 1402097409
The conceptualization of a problem (modeling) and the computational solution of this problem (simulation), is the foundation of Computational Science. This coupled endeavor is unique in several respects. It allows practically any complex system to be analyzed with predictive capability by invoking the multiscale paradigm linking unit-process models at lower length (or time) scales where fundamental principles have been established to calculations at the system level.
The community of multiscale materials modeling has evolved into a multidisciplinary group with a number of identified problem areas of interest. Sidney Yip and Tomas Diaz De La Rubia, the editors of this volume, have gathered 18 contributions that showcase the conceptual advantages of modeling which, coupled with the unprecedented computing power through simulations, allow scientists to tackle the formibable problems of our society, such as the search for hydrocarbons, understanding the structure of a virus, or the intersection between simulations and real data in extreme environments.
Scientific Modeling and Simulations advocates the scientific virtues of modeling and simulation, and also encourages the cross fertilization between communities, exploitations of high-performance computing, and experiment-simulation synergies.

Toward More Sustainable Infrastructure: Project Evaluation for Planners and Engineers
Author: Carl D. Martland | Size: 4,6 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: John Wiley & Sons, Inc. | Year: 2011 | pages: 477 | ISBN: 0470448768
Project Evaluation presents methods for evaluating projects and programs aimed at improving the performance and sustainability of infrastructure projects. It introduces system performance, concepts of sustainability, methods of engineering economics, and provides numerous case studies, examples, and exercises based upon real world problems. The text is designed to aid the understanding of why major infrastructure projects are undertaken, how they are structured and evaluated, and how they are financed.

Since 1984 the EURO-C conference series (Split 1984, Zell am See 1990, Innsbruck 1994, Badgastein 1998, St Johann im Pongau 2003, Mayrhofen 2006, Schladming 2010) has provided a forum for academic discussion of the latest theoretical, algorithmic and modelling developments associated with computational simulations of concrete and concrete structures. Computational Modelling of Concrete Structures includes recent research advancements on the applicability and robustness of methods and models for the analysis of complex concrete, reinforced concrete and/or pre-stressed concrete structures in engineering practice.
The book covers both computational mechanics and computational modelling aspects of the analysis and design of concrete structures:
- Constitutive and Multiscale Modelling of Concrete
- Advances in Computational Modelling
- Time Dependent and Multiphysics Problems
- Modelling of Concrete Structures
- Hazard, Risk and Safety
Computational Modelling of Concrete Structures is of special interest to researchers in computational concrete mechanics, and to industry experts in complex nonlinear simulations of concrete structures.

Understanding groundwater recharge is essential for successful management of water resources and modeling fluid and contaminant transport within the subsurface. This book provides a critical evaluation of the theory and assumptions that underlie methods for estimating rates of groundwater recharge. Detailed explanations of the methods are provided - allowing readers to apply many of the techniques themselves without needing to consult additional references. Numerous practical examples highlight benefits and limitations of each method. Approximately 900 references allow advanced practitioners to pursue additional information on any method. For the first time, theoretical and practical considerations for selecting and applying methods for estimating groundwater recharge are covered in a single volume with uniform presentation. Hydrogeologists, water-resource specialists, civil and agricultural engineers, earth and environmental scientists and agronomists will benefit from this informative and practical book. It can serve as the primary text for a graduate-level course on groundwater recharge or as an adjunct text for courses on groundwater hydrology or hydrogeology. For the benefit of students and instructors, problem sets of varying difficulty are available at

Joseph Penzien, a University of California-Berkeley engineering professor who developed the world's first modern shake table in 1972 and pioneered groundbreaking earthquake engineering research and academics, died on Sept. 19 in Redwood City, Calif. He was 86.
PENZIEN
Penzien, a 35-year teaching veteran at the school, was a key developer of its programs in structural dynamics and earthquake engineering, "which many considered to be the best in the world," according to a 2004 oral history conducted by Robert Reitherman, executive director of ο»Ώthe Consortium of Universities for Research in Earthquake Engineering.
An introduction by Berkeley professor Anil Chopra noted that while Penzien taught all of the program's courses, "his unique contribution was the first course on random vibrations." Developed in 1961, it was "the earliest course on this subject offered in a civil engineering department in the U.S." he said, further noting that it "became legendary for how tough it was and enhanced his already-existing reputation of teaching difficult subjects."
Penzien later co-authored a landmark 1975 textbook, βDynamics of Structures.β The book was groundbreaking "in terms of its broad scope, comprehensive coverage and philsophy," said Chopra
