Technical Manual for the Design and Construction of Roofs of Stainless Steel Sheet
Size: 4.2 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Japan Stainless Steel Association | Year: 1985 | pages: 110
Stainless steel is a metal having good corrosion resistance and durability, and a pleasing appearance. It is also commonly considered to be a necessary building material in modern architecture. Recently, various new stainless steel applications have been developed utilizing its outstanding features in constructing high-quality, multi-storied buildings. Demand for roofing stainless steel (mainly resin-coated stainless steel sheet), which was developed as a roofing material for housing, gyms, factories, and warehouses, has increased remarkably. The average annual increase in demand for roofing stainless steel has been more than 25 per cent for several years. Resin-coated stainless steel sheet, bake-finished with highquality organic paint on the surface of the rust-resistant stainless steel, has good corrosion resistance and durability, and can be used semi-permanently with almost no maintenance. Since roofing materials are exposed to rigorous natural and corrosive conditions for long periods, it can be said that pre-coated stainless steel sheet is the ideal roofing material. Pre-coated stainless steel sheet is still virtually unknown to the general public, however, and even architects and roofing workers do not sufficiently understand its characteristics, processing methods or structural roofing techniques.

Long employed in electrical engineering, the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is now applied in a range of fields through the use of digital computers and fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithms. But to correctly interpret DFT results, it is essential to understand the core and tools of Fourier analysis. Discrete and Continuous Fourier Transforms: Analysis, Applications and Fast Algorithms presents the fundamentals of Fourier analysis and their deployment in signal processing using DFT and FFT algorithms.
This accessible, self-contained book provides meaningful interpretations of essential formulas in the context of applications, building a solid foundation for the application of Fourier analysis in the many diverging and continuously evolving areas in digital signal processing enterprises. It comprehensively covers the DFT of windowed sequences, various discrete convolution algorithms and their applications in digital filtering and filters, and many FFT algorithms unified under the frameworks of mixed-radix FFTs and prime factor FFTs. A large number of graphical illustrations and worked examples help explain the concepts and relationships from the very beginning of the text.
Requiring no prior knowledge of Fourier analysis or signal processing, this book supplies the basis for using FFT algorithms to compute the DFT in a variety of application areas.

A Student's Guide to Fourier Transforms: With Applications in Physics and Engineering
Author: J. F. James | Size: 2.3 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Cambridge University Press | Year: 2011 | pages: 160 | ISBN: 0521176832
Fourier transform theory is of central importance in a vast range of applications in physical science, engineering and applied mathematics. Providing a concise introduction to the theory and practice of Fourier transforms, this book is invaluable to students of physics, electrical and electronic engineering, and computer science. After a brief description of the basic ideas and theorems, the power of the technique is illustrated through applications in optics, spectroscopy, electronics and telecommunications. The rarely discussed but important field of multi-dimensional Fourier theory is covered, including a description of Computer Axial Tomography (CAT scanning). The book concludes by discussing digital methods, with particular attention to the Fast Fourier Transform and its implementation. This new edition has been revised to include new and interesting material, such as convolution with a sinusoid, coherence, the Michelson stellar interferometer and the van Cittert-Zernike theorem, Babinet's principle and dipole arrays.

This book contains the proceedings of the 31st International Conference on Boundary Elements and Other Mesh Reduction Methods (MEM/BEM). The conference is recognized internationally as the forum for the latest advances of these methods and their applications in sciences and engineering.
The success of the meeting, since the first conference took place in Southampton UK in 1978, is an indication of the strength of the research being carried out by many different groups around the world. This continuous growth is a result of the evolution of the techniques from methods based on classical integral equations to techniques covering now a wide variety of mathematical approaches, the main objective of which is to reduce or eliminate the mesh. The mesh, a concept inherited from more primitive methods, such as finite differences and finite elements, is alien to the solution of the problem and dictated only by the limitations of first-generation analysis techniques.

Boundary Elements and Other Mesh Reduction Methods XXXIII
Author: C. A. Brebbia, V. Popov | Size: 7.9 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: WIT Press | Year: 2011 | pages: 368 | ISBN: 1845645421
Boundary Elements and Other Mesh Reduction Methods XXXIII contains edited versions of many of the papers presented at the 33rd International Conference on Boundary Element and other Mesh Reduction Methods, which was held on the Wessex Institute New Forest Campus in June 2011. The conference was the latest in an unusually long-lived series of annual conferences that began in 1978, covering the development of the boundary element method.
The boundary element method developed in the 1970s when scientists and engineers began to question the need to discretize a problem in order to find a numerical solution. It took some 10 to 15 years for the method's advantages to be clearly established, by which time the BEM had begun evolving beyond its classical formulation.
This led to the development of meshless techniques research which has continued until today. A substantial part of the current work, however, seems to focus on finding simple solutions that may not always lead to the best results. It seems appropriate to put more emphasis on achieving robustness and accuracy, in particular when solving large engineering problems. There is a need to develop general purpose computer codes equivalent to those produced with finite elements. This requires progression from the realm of mathematical possibilities into that of engineering certainty.
The BEM & MRM Conference is the ideal forum to discuss these and other issues which are crucial to the development of the Method. This volume is the latest to document the advances made.
