Dynamic Programming Based Operation of Reservoirs: Applicability and Limits
Dynamic Programming Based Operation of Reservoirs: Applicability and Limits
Publisher: Cambridge University Press | ISBN: 0521874084 | edition 2007 | PDF | 144 pages | 12,6 mb
Dynamic programming is a method of solving multi-stage problems in which decisions at one stage become the conditions governing the succeeding stages. It can be applied to the management of water reservoirs, allowing them to be operated more efficiently. This is one of the few books dedicated solely to dynamic programming techniques used in reservoir management. It presents the applicability of these techniques and their limits on the operational analysis of reservoir systems. The dynamic programming models presented in this book have been applied to reservoir systems all over the world, helping the reader to appreciate the applicability and limits of these models. The book also includes a model for the operation of a reservoir during an emergency situation. This volume will be a valuable reference to researchers in hydrology, water resources and engineering, as well as professionals in reservoir management.

Finite element based fatigue calculations - Bishop and Sherratt
PDF size : 5.5 Mb
Fatigue analysis procedures for the design of modern structures rely on techniques, which have been developed over the last 100 years or so. Initially these techniques were relatively simple procedures, which compared measured constant amplitude stresses (from prototype tests) with material data from test coupons. These techniques have become progressively more sophisticated with the introduction of strain based techniques to deal with local plasticity effects. Nowadays, variable amplitude stress responses can be dealt with. Furthermore, techniques exist to predict how fast a crack will grow through a component, instead of the more limited capability to simply predict the time to failure.

The Behavior of Structures Composed of Composite Materials
Authors: Jack R. Vinson, R. L. Sierakowski
Edition: 2, illustrated
Publisher: Springer, 2002
ISBN: 1402009046, 9781402009044
Length 435 pages
Pdf: 19 Mb Pdf Quality Condition: 9 points (over 10)
Composite structures and products have developed tremendously since the publication of the first edition of this work in 1986. This new edition of the now classic 1986 text has been written to educate the engineering reader in the various aspects of mechanics for using composite materials in the design and analysis of composite structures and products. Areas dealt with include manufacture, micromechanical properties, structural design, joints and bonding and a much needed introduction to composite design philosophy. Each chapter is concluded by numerous problems suitable for home assignments or examination. A solution guide is available on request from the authors.

Earthquakes and Acoustic Emission: Selected Papers from the 11th International Conference on Fracture, Turin, Italy, March 20-25, 2005 (Balkema: Proceedings ... in Engineering, Water and Earth Science
By Alberto Carpinteri, Giuseppe Lacidogna
* Publisher: Taylor & Francis
* Number Of Pages: 199
* Publication Date: 2007-07-05
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0415444020
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780415444026
* Binding: Hardcover
Product Description:
 Earthquakes in geophysics and damage in structural materials have similarities. In both cases, there is a release of elastic energy from sources located inside a medium. This book outlines topics related to earthquakes and Acoustic Emission and discusses the latest developments in this area. Divided into two categories, the book covers both seismic mechanics and earthquakes and structural failure. Earthquakes and Acoustic Emission serves as a useful supplementary textbook for postgraduates, while being of special interest to professionals in the field of earthquakes and acoustic emission.

Product Description:
The material in this volume provides the basic theory necessary to understand the principles behind imaging the subsurface of the Earth using reflection and refraction seismology. For reflection seismology, the end product is a "record section" from a collection of "wiggly traces" that are recorded in the field from which information about the properties of subsurface structure and rock can be derived. For the most part, the principles of imaging are the same regardless of the depth to the target; the same mathematical background is necessary for targeting a shallow water table as for investigating the base of the earth's continental "crust" at a depth of 30-50 km.
