Product Description
Numerical analysis is an increasingly important link between pure mathematics and its application in science and technology. This textbook provides an introduction to the justification and development of constructive methods that provide sufficiently accurate approximations to the solution of numerical problems, and the analysis of the influence that errors in data, finite-precision calculations, and approximation formulas have on results, problem formulation and the choice of method. It also serves as an introduction to scientific programming in MATLAB, including many simple and difficult, theoretical and computational exercises. A unique feature of this book is the consequent development of interval analysis as a tool for rigorous computation and computer assisted proofs, along with the traditional material.

Soil Mechanics and Transport in Porous Media: Selected Works of G. de Josselin de Jong (Theory and Applications of Transport in Porous Media)
Editor: Ruud J. Schotting, Hans C.J. van Duijn, Arnold Verruijt
Hardcover: 364 pages
Publisher: Springer; 1 edition (June 14, 2006)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1402035365
ISBN-13: 978-1402035364
Product Description
This book contains an overview of the most relevant scientific contributions of Gerard de Josselin de Jong to the development of both Soil Mechanics and Transport in Porous Media. The volume comprises a selection of papers by de Josselin de Jong as they were published in the international scientific literature. In addition, some unpublished, but highly relevant work has been included.
Most of the papers by de Josselin de Jong are concerned with issues related to soil mechanics. This is not surprising, considering the fact that he worked at Delft Soil Mechanics Laboratory and given the nature of his chair at Delft University of Technology. But occasionally he made an excursion to the area of flow and transport in porous media. It characterizes his ingenuity that most of these excursions led to papers that are now classics in the field.
The editors have chosen to divide his key publications into a group devoted to soil mechanics and a group devoted to flow and transport in porous media. The selected papers were published in the period 1950-1990. They clearly demonstrate the development of ideas and the profound contributions of de Josselin de Jong. Each paper is a jewel on its own. He has an extremely original way of reasoning and he illustrated intricate concepts and mechanisms with the aid of his famous hand-made drawings. In particular young scientists will enjoy reading these papers because important parts of today's porous media research find their roots in them, and because many questions raised by de Josselin de Jong are still open and subject to current investigations.

Wave Propagation in Infinite Domains: With Applications to Structure Interaction
(Lecture Notes in Applied and Computational Mechanics)
Author: Lutz Lehmann
Publisher: Springer
Number Of Pages: 185
Publication Date: 2007-06-11
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 3540711082
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9783540711087
Language English
Product Description
Wave propagation in infinite or unbounded domains is often encountered in scientific and engineering applications. Theoretical fundamentals and applications of a new numerical model which has the ability to simulate such wave propagation are presented. Attention is focused on linear waves in ideal fluids and elastic domains. Wave propagation based on scalar and vector wave equations, as well as fluid-structure interaction and soil-structure interaction is numerical simulated. The model is based on a coupled finite element/scaled boundary finite element method (FEM/SBFEM). While the FEM maps the near-field, under the immense variety of non-reflecting boundary conditions the SBFEM, developed by Wolf and Song, was chosen. It has some unique features: reduction of the spatial dimension by one without requiring a fundamental solution, no discretisation of free and fixed boundaries and interfaces between different materials, and influence of the infinite far-field could be stored in the form of matrices for further simulations (e.g., different load cases). Benchmark examples show the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed algorithm. Finally, covered fields of applications are: acoustics, dynamic behaviour of offshore wind turbines, and seismic analysis of buildings including soil-structure interaction.

Engineering Structures (July 2010)
Learning from Structural Failure (special issue)
Editorial
The study of actual structural failures has become a useful tool for both structural engineers and students, as shown by the ever-growing number of books and articles published and the conferences dedicated to the subject.
Much can be learned from failures that can later be applied to improvements in the field of structural design in the form of new theories, concepts, structural details, etc. One of the most famous examples is, of course, the effect of the collapse of the Tacoma Bridge on the subsequent design of suspension bridges.
The title of this special issue of Engineering Structures is Learning from Structural Failures. It has been compiled from the work of the guest editors in recent years, both from their teaching experience as university lecturers and from their professional work as structural engineers, and contains articles on a series of real cases. Each of the articles is designed to clarify to the reader the cause of the failure and is subjected to a detailed analysis by the authors using the most appropriate tools for each case.
