Structural Acoustics and Vibration presents the modeling of vibrations of complex structures coupled with acoustic fluids in the low and medium frequency ranges. It is devoted to mechanical models, variationalformulations and discretization for calculating linear vibrations in the frequency domain of complex structures. The book includes theoretical formulations which are directly applicable to develop computer codes for the numerical simulation of complex systems, and gives a general scientific strategy to solve various complex structural acoustics problems in different areas such as spacecraft, aircraft, automobiles, and naval structures. The researcher may directly apply the material of the book to practical problems such as acoustic pollution, the comfort of passengers, and acoustic loads induced by propellers.Structural Acoustics and Vibration considers the mechanical and numerical aspects of the problem, and gives original solutions to the predictability of vibrations of complex structures interacting with internal and external, liquid and gaseous fluids. It is a self-contained general synthesis with a didactic presentation and fills the gap between analytical methods applied to simple geometries and statistical methods, which are useful in high frequency structural acoustic problems.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SEISMIC DESIGN OF HYBRID COUPLED WALLS
Author: AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CIVIL ENGINEERS | Size: 1.11 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CIVIL ENGINEERS | Year: unknown | pages: 113 | ISBN: unknown
Reinforced concrete (RC) coupled wall systems, where RC beams couple two or more RC walls in series are frequently used in medium and high-rise construction. The benefits of coupling in such systems are well recognized and understood. The coupling beams provide transfer of vertical forces between adjacent walls, which creates a frame-like coupling action that resists a portion of the total overturning moment induced by the seismic action. This coupling action has three major beneficial effects. First, it reduces the moments that must be resisted by the individual wall piers resulting in a more efficient structural system. Secondly, it provides a means by which seismic energy is dissipated over the entire height of the wall system as the coupling beams undergo inelastic deformations. A final important advantage of a coupled wall system is that it has a lateral stiffness that is significantly greater than the sum of its component wall piers permitting a reduced footprint for the lateral load resisting system.
The structural response of coupled walls is, however, complicated by the fact that the system is comprised of components that exhibit significantly different ductility demands. Figure 1 shows the idealized lateral force-deformation response of a coupled wall structure as the sum of the individual cantilever pier flexural responses and the frame-like response of the coupling action provided by the beams. In contrast to the walls, the coupling beams must undergo significant inelastic deformations in order to allow the structure to achieve its lateral yield strength, RT. As the system continues to deform laterally in a ductile manner, the wall ductility ratio, defined as the ratio of the ultimate deformation to that at yield, is significantly smaller than that of the beams. If the beams are unable to cope with the high ductility demands imposed upon them, the coupling action deteriorates leading to a drop in the lateral resistance and a dramatic change in the dynamic properties as the system eventually degenerates into two (or multiple) independent, uncoupled wall piers.
The shear force and deformation demands expected on coupling beams during a design-level seismic event, coupled with their low span-to-depth ratio and the degradation of shear resisting mechanisms attributed to concrete under load reversals, have led designers to provide special diagonal reinforcement detailing for and in the vicinity of RC coupling beams (ACI 2005). This special reinforcement complicates erection, potentially increasing both construction time and cost. Furthermore, the limited shear capacity of RC coupling beams often requires designers to provide impractically deep members (Harries et al. 2005). To mitigate these problems, some engineers have turned to structural steel coupling beams as an alternative to reinforced concrete beams. The resulting structural system is referred to as a hybrid coupled wall (HCW) system and
is the subject of this report.

This book is an introduction to the Boundary Element Method. It offers both an elementary and advanced exposition of the Boundary Element Method. It deals with the application of the BEM to elastostatics, elastodynamics, plasticity, acoustics and heat conduction. The book contains the complete influence matrices for plate-bending problems, for membrane and plate problems and for problems in three-dimensional elasticity.

The author's ambition for this publication was to make BEM accessible to the student as well as to the professional engineer. For this reason, his main task was to organize and present the material in such a way so that the book becomes "user-friendly" and easy to comprehend, taking into account only the mathematics and mechanics to which students have been exposed during their undergraduate studies. This effort led to an innovative, in many aspects, way of presenting BEM, including the derivation of fundamental solutions, the integral representation of the solutions and the boundary integral equations for various governing differential equations in a simple way minimizing a recourse to mathematics with which the student is not familiar. The indicial and tensorial notations, though they facilitate the author's work and allow to borrow ready to use expressions from the literature, have been avoided in the present book. Nevertheless, all the necessary preliminary mathematical concepts have been included in order to make the book complete and self-sufficient.

Product Description
The purpose of this handbook is to provide advice and guidance on those aspects of planning and design that will enable car parks to perform their function efficiently, economically and at the same time be user friendly. The authors do not see car park design as being a finite art but as a compromise, a balancing act between motorist's spatial desires and the practical need to achieve economy of construction and effective use of the site area. Stall dimensions, aisle, ramp and access-way widths, ramp slopes, headroom and circulation layouts in relation to the motorist are all looked at and discussed. "Car Park Designers' Handbook" has been written by consultants at Hill Cannon (UK) LLP with over 35 years experience in design, repair, improvement and alteration of structured and surface car parks.

Coordinates are critical to GIS (geographic information systems), cartography, and surveying. They are their foundation. Points, lines, and polygons form the geometry. Lines define the polygons, points define the lines, and coordinates define the points. So at bottom it is the coordinates that tie the real world to its electronic image in the computer. There are more than 1,000 horizontal geodetic datums and over 3,000 Cartesian coordinate systems, sanctioned by governments around the world and currently in use, to describe our planet electronically and on paper.
