This is a software by me in visual basic 6.0. and its freeware and dedicated to civilea users...no restrictions from my side...it was developed for a specific task which was assigned to me but you can find many applications for this tool....
Often you want to print your drawings arranged like this!
PLANS
S-100
S-200
S-300
SECTIONS
S-101
S-102
S-103
etc.
If you place them under one folder, they will be sorted out like this
S-100
S-101
S-200
S-201
S-300
S-301
if you print like this, you will have to rearrange all the sheets after printing from plotter, imagine if you have to arrange a set of 300 sheets. so what?
So the problem is, you have an arranged drawing list in excel but drawing nos are such that they have problem in sorting out in a folder and you want to avoid wasting your time for rearranging after printing?
here is the solution. follow this!
1) select the main folder where your main pdf drawings are saved.
2) export your excel (sorted) drawing list to a text file with first line as the first drawing no and the last line as the last drawing no. and select this file with ".txt" extension.
***CAUTION***your drawing nos in drawing list must be same as saved in folder.
for example you have a text file containing drawing file nos as
S-100
S-200
S-300
etc so your orignal file names in save location should be
S-100.pdf
S-200.pdf
S-300.pdf
3)while "SORT FILES ONLY (NO PDF MERGE) is still selected, press the button "RENAME & MERGE"
***CAUTION***if any file is missing or opened by another user, it will ask you for the appropriate option.
NOW THERE ARISES ANOTHER PROBLEM, you have done well, you have arranged all your sheets but what if you want to print like 100 sheets on the plotter, so will you open each pdf one by one and press CTRL + P? or you will open PDF merger and merge all the sheets. but again you cannot merge even 50 sheets in one single file for plotter to print, you have to merge the pdf files maximum 10 to 12. so again its manual and time consuming. here you go!
1) starting instructions again from step2, uncheck the "SORT FILES ONLY (NO PDF MERGE)" and select no. of sets. for example if you have 300 drawings, you can have 30 sets, each including 10 drawings. so you will put 30 in the field. and the press the merge button.
Now these 30 files are ready to be sent to plotter in arranged manner one by one. Just imagine...without this software...u would first make 30 sets each of 10 drwaings in pdf and then after printing...so have to rearrange them one by one (300 sheets) ... so isnt it easy...

A complete 180p book, which was given by Prof. Broms after a presentation in 2002 to the participants. I do not think that it is published.

Product Description:
This book presents an introduction into the entire science of Continuum Mechanics in three parts. Part I: Continuum Mechanics introduces into the Foundations using tensors in Cartesian coordinate systems, classical theory of elasticity, and fluid mechanics. Part II: Mechanics of Materials has chapters on viscoelasticity, plasticity, principles of constitutive modelling, and thermodynamics. Part III presents Tensor Analysis and fundamental equations of Continuum Mechanics in curvilinear coordinates.

Author: K. L. Johnson
Paperback: 468 pages
Publisher: Cambridge University Press (August 28, 1987)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0521347963
ISBN-13: 978-0521347969
This book describes the stresses and deformations of solid bodies in contact with each other, along curved surfaces that touch initially at a point of contact or along a line. Examples are a railroad track and the wheels running on it, or a pair of meshed gear teeth. The book commences with the development of the theory since the problem was first described in 1882. There is also a discussion of the influence of friction and the topographical roughness of surfaces. An important feature of the book is the treatment of plastic and viscoelastic bodies, and an appreciable section of the book discusses bodies in sliding or rolling contact. The mathematical treatment assumes that users of the book are graduates in engineering; it is a book written by a distinguished engineer for other professionals and their graduate students.

Dear members of Civilea
I need help
I use etabs/sap2000 for pushover analysis.
The questions :
1) What is the formula to distribute static force to form "the load pattern of higher-mode-profile" ?
2) Is there correlation between the load pattern we choose & the pushover method we use ?
3) For CSM, CM & MPA respectively, what load pattern that I should use ?
Thanks
Paladin
Dear members of Civilea
I need help
I want to create bi-linear curve of pushover analysis manually.
I use etabs.
After the pushover curve done, plz guide how to calculate Ki, Ke and 'alpha' so that I can create the bi-linear curve
Thanks & waiting your help
Paladin
Sorry for the mistake in posting. This is my first post. Actually quite nervous coz there seems to be a lot of rules on posting and warnings of getting banned.
Am I doing it the right way?

New Directions in Linear Acoustics and Vibration: Quantum Chaos, Random Matrix Theory and Complexity Richard Weaver
New Directions in Linear Acoustics and Vibration: Quantum Chaos, Random Matrix Theory and Complexity
Richard Weaver
Cambridge University Press 2010
ISBN: 0521885086 Pages: 272
PDF English 5.7 MB
Linear acoustics was thought to be fully encapsulated in physics texts of the 1950s, but this view has been changed by developments in physics during the last four decades. There is a significant new amount of theory that can be used to address problemsin linear acoustics and vibration, but only a small amount of reported work does so. This book is an attempt to bridge the gap between theoreticians and practitioners, as well as the gap between quantum and acoustic. Tutorial chapters provide introductions to each of the major aspects of the physical theory and are written using the appropriate terminology of the acoustical community. The book will act as a quick-start guide to the new methods while providing a wide-ranging introduction to the physical concepts
