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.

Moderator Note:
Please, use a adequate title for any post/request!
Generic title, like "I raelly need to find this book...." difficult future search in our forum.
This report by Professor Emeritus Athol Carr, Department of Civil and Natural Resources Engineering, University of Canterbury is intended to assist structural engineers in the task of interpreting the observed performance of buildings in the Christchurch earthquakes of 2010 and 2011.

This book is aimed at anyone who is interested in the design of built environments for children, but it has been written specifically from an architectural perspective. I am an architect and I embarked on this project with the aim of exploring the best that architecture has to offer for early learning environments. Along the way, I discovered that architects can learn a lot from the discipline of early learning teaching. So much of the teaching in the early years revolves around the importance of a child’s environment on their development. Over the last 100 years, many divergent philosophies have evolved and the depth and breadth of thinking, is quite simply, amazing. I became interested in designing for children when I had children myself—inspired not just by a mother’s love but also by the sheer originality and responsiveness of children generally. Children are a unique client with heightened sensory needs, special scale considerations and a totally different way of moving through and perceiving space to adults. Different educational programs and the consequent needs of staff also have an impact on the architectural outcomes and on how children’s needs are managed.
So this book is in part what architecture can offer early learning, and in part what early learning requires from architecture. As most people (other than teachers) are not aware of the many philosophies that support our children’s learning, I have included a chapter that provides a brief synopsis of those philosophies that I have come across so far. This is meant as an introduction only; it is not exhaustive and I am sure that there exist whole branches of which I am oblivious.

Author: Prasuhn, Alan L. | Size: 33.9 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Oxford University Press | Year: 1992 | pages: 537 | ISBN: 9780195107326
This book is intended as a textbook for the senior-level introductory course in hydraulic engineering required in most civil engineering curricula, but is appropriate for agricultural engineering students and others interested in the subject of hydraulics. This text provides comprehensive treatment of hydraulic engineering in both closed conduit and open channel flow, with examples and problems. The carefully organized coverage, beginning with basics of hydrology, pipelines, and open channels includes both hydrologic background and traditional hydraulics. This is a good balance of theory and applications and extensive appendices, including selected computer programs, round out the text.

"Time-dependent analysis of segmental bridges"
Kenneth W. Shushkewich†
Computers & Structures
Volume 23, Issue 1, 1986, Pages 95-118
Abstract
The computer program TIMEDEP is presented for the time-dependent analysis of segmental bridges. Loadings considered at each stage of construction include self-weight, time-dependent effects, temperature, and construction loads. The program is intended to be used for routine day-to-day design and operates on the IBM Personal Computer as well as on most other mainframe computers. Five numerical examples illustrate the usefulness of the program. Documentation, sample input and output, and a FORTRAN source listing are also provided.

Earthquake Engineering - Mechanism, Damage Assessment and Structural Design
Author: Borg, S. F. | Size: 11 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: World Scientific | Year: 1988-2nd ed | pages: 356 | ISBN: 9789971504359
This book presents new comprehensive rational quantitative theories (utilizing fundamental energy concepts throughout) covering the entire earthquake event from the point of view of the engineer. It starts with a mathematical analysis of an underground mechanism (the earthquake), then proceeds to determinations of the timewise and spacewise variations of the fundamental engineering damage-design parameter, the ground energy. Finally, the new theories are applied to a number of typical (actual) structural and non-structural design problems. Each chapter of the first edition has now been improved and enlarged and new chapters have been added to include recent research by the author and his graduate students.
