Abstract
Intended to assist with the breadth of choice in state-of-the-art materials by viewing it as an opportunity for innovative and unique design. Explores the history of technological development, describes manufacturing processes, discusses materials, and outlines specific design constraints. Contemporary examples of component design in building construction illustrate current practice.

Understanding dampness - effects, causes, diagnosis and remedies
Author: Trotman, P., Sanders, C. and Harrison, H. | Size: 9.76 MB | Format:PDF | Year: 2004 | pages: 226 | ISBN: 9781860816864
Abstract
Dampness is a continuing cause of distress to building occupants. It is a possible source of, or a contributor to, illness, and it encourages deterioration in the fabric of a building. With an emphasis on existing buildings and some coverage of the design of new build, this publication lists the causes of dampness and explores its effects. It also provides remedial measures. Topics covered include: Visible and hidden effects of dampness, Measuring moisture, Condensation, Rain penetration, Rising damp etc.

The main purpose of this book is to present all the ingredients for constructing the numerical models for representing the complex nonlinear behavior of structures and their components, which are represented as deformable solid bodies. Nonetheless, the book will also prove useful for those mostly interested in linear problems of mechanics, since the sure way to obtain a sound theoretical formulation of a linear problem goes through the consistent linearization of the more general nonlinear problem.
The original French edition published by Hermes Science - Lavoisier Paris in 2006 was nominated for the Roberval Award for University Textbooks in French.

In the following pages an attempt has been made to present the principles of elementary dynamics, and to explain the meaning of the physical quantities involved, partly by definition and description, but mainly by worked examples in which formulae have been avoided as far as possible. By continually having to think of the principle and the physical quantities involved, the student gradually acquires the true meaning of them, and they become real to him.

The purpose of this text is to provide the students with the theoretical background of the three dimensional mechanics of rigid body and its applications to engineering problems existing in mechanical systems. As most of the engineering subjects this part of mechanics is presented in three parts: Modelling, Analysis and Experimental Investigations.

Analysis and abatement of air pollution involve a variety of technical disciplines. Formation of the most prevalent pollutants occurs during the combustion process, a tightly coupled system involving fluid flow, mass and energy transport, and chemical kinetics. Its complexity is exemplified by the fact that, in many respects, the simplest hydrocarbon combustion, the methane-oxygen flame, has been quantitatively modeled only within the last several years. Nonetheless, the development of combustion modifications aimed at minimizing the formation of the unwanted by-products of burning fuels requires an understanding of the combustion process. Fuel may be available in solid, liquid, or gaseous form; it may be mixed with the air ahead of time or only within the combustion chamber; the chamber itself may vary from the piston and cylinder arrangement in an automobile engine to a lO-story-high boiler in the largest power plant; the unwanted byproducts may remain as gases, or they may, upon cooling, form small particles.
