Written by leading experts in the field and featuring fully integrated colour throughout, Isogeometric Analysis provides a groundbreaking solution for the integration of CAD and FEA technologies. Tom Hughes and his researchers, Austin Cottrell and Yuri Bazilevs, present their pioneering isogeometric approach, which aims to integrate the two techniques of CAD and FEA using precise NURBS geometry in the FEA application. This technology offers the potential to revolutionise automobile, ship and airplane design and analysis by allowing models to be designed, tested and adjusted in one integrative stage.
Providing a systematic approach to the topic, the authors begin with a tutorial introducing the foundations of Isogeometric Analysis, before advancing to a comprehensive coverage of the most recent developments in the technique. The authors offer a clear explanation as to how to add isogeometric capabilities to existing finite element computer programs, demonstrating how to implement and use the technology. Detailed programming examples and datasets are included to impart a thorough knowledge and understanding of the material.
-Provides examples of different applications, showing the reader how to implement isogeometric models
-Addresses readers on both sides of the CAD/FEA divide
-Describes Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) basis functions

Matrix Operations for Engineers and Scientists: An Essential Guide in Linear Algebra
Alan Jeffrey
Springer 2010
ISBN: 9048192730
278 pages
PDF 2,1 MB
Engineers and scientists need to have an introduction to the basics of linear algebra in a context they understand. Computer algebra systems make the manipulation of matrices and the determination of their properties a simple matter, and in practical applications such software is often essential. However, using this tool when learning about matrices, without first gaining a proper understanding of the underlying theory, limits the ability to use matrices and to apply them to new problems. This book explains matrices in the detail required by engineering or science students, and it discusses linear systems of ordinary differential equations. These students require a straightforward introduction to linear algebra illustrated by applications to which they can relate. It caters of the needs of undergraduate engineers in all disciplines, and provides considerable detail where it is likely to be helpful. According to the author the best way to understand the theory of matrices is by working simple exercises designed to emphasize the theory, that at the same time avoid distractions caused by unnecessary numerical calculations. Hence, examples and exercises in this book have been constructed in such a way that wherever calculations are necessary they are straightforward. For example, when a characteristic equation occurs, its roots (the eigenvalues of a matrix) can be found by inspection. The author of this book is Alan Jeffrey, Emeritus Professor of mathematics at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. He has given courses on engineering mathematics at UK and US Universities.

Does anybody possesses some kind of numerical/ tabular data (record) of the traffic-induced ground acceleration to share? I'm not looking for something specific - any kind of (tabular) data are welcome.
What I'm trying to say in a caricature way:
i.e. I have a picture of the traffic-induced ground acc. in verbatim looking like this:
but I don't have numerical record of it looking like this or similar:

(this is part of earthquake record written in .txt document)
So I need any kind of numerical record of the traffic-induced ground acceleration along (if possible) with its info (vehicle, ground layers, etc.)
You can send me data using e-mail:
