Renewable Energy, Third Edition by Bent Sorensen
Publisher: Academic Press | 3 edition (July 30, 2004) | ISBN: 0126561532 | Pages: 952 | PDF | 18.08 MB
The present edition has been updated in a number of renewable energy technology areas (Chapter 4 and 5), where progress have been made over the recent years. New solar simulation studies have been added to Chapter 6, and market considerations have been included in the overview in Chapter 1, and in discussing industry liberalisation in Chapter 7. The remarks on advanced subjects made in the preface to the 2nd edition are still valid. A new growth area is fuel cells for stationary and mobile uses of hydrogen and other fuels. Only modest updates have been done in this area, as it is the subject of a new, companion book to be published about a year after this one (Sørensen: Hydrogen and fuel cells, Academic Press). Some older material has been omitted or tidied up, and manoeuvring through the book has been eased, both for reference and textbook uses.

Wind Energy: Renewable Energy and the Environment by Robert Foster
Wind Energy: Renewable Energy and the Environment by Robert Foster
Publisher: CRC Press | March 16, 2009 | ISBN: 1420075683 | Pages: 328 | PDF | 7.1 MB
The book begins by outlining the history of wind energy, before providing reasons to shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy. After examining the characteristics of wind, such as shear, power potential, and turbulence, it discusses the measurement and siting of individual wind turbines and wind farms. The text then presents the aerodynamics, operation, control, applications, and types of wind turbines. The author also describes the design of wind turbines and system performance for single wind turbines, water pumping, village systems, and wind farms. In addition, he explores the wind industry from its inception in the 1970s to today as well as the political and economic factors regarding the adoption of wind as an energy source.

102 Pages - ISBN: 1604130148 - PDF -10 MB
"Plate Tectonics" examines the evolution of plate tectonic theory from its beginnings as a wild idea of drifting continents to its acceptance as the main concept that drives geology today. The book also focuses on the lives and achievements of those individuals who fought great odds to give rise to one of the most important theories in science.

The finite element method (FEM), or finite element analysis
(FEA), is based on the idea of building a complicated object with
simple blocks, or, dividing a complicated object into small and
manageable pieces. Application of this simple idea can be found
everywhere in everyday life as well as in engineering.

Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground
Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground: Proceedings of the 6th International Symposium (IS-Shanghai 2008)
By Charles W.w. Ng, H.w. Huang, G.b. Liu
This volume comprises a collection of four special lectures, six general reports and 112 papers presented at the Sixth International Symposium of Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground (IS-Shanghai) held between 10 and 12 April 2008 in Shanghai, China.
The Symposium was organised by Tongji University and the following themes were covered:
1. Analysis and numerical modelling of deep excavations
2. Construction method, ground treatment, and conditioning for tunnelling
3. Case histories
4. Safety issues, risk analysis, hazard management and control
5. Physical and numerical modelling
6. Calculation, design methods, and predictive tools
This volume provides a valuable source of information on the the state-of-the-art in geotechnical engineering associated with the design, construction and monitoring of tunnels and excavations in soft ground, and will be of interest to academics and professionals involved in these areas.

Structural design in fire conditions is conceptually similar to structural design in normal temperature conditions, but often more difficult because of internal forces induced by thermal expansion, strength reduction due to elevated temperatures, much larger deflections, and numerous other factors. Before making any design decisions it is essential to establish clear objectives, and determine the severity of the design fire. The art and science of designing structures for fire safety has grown considerably in recent years, accompanied by the development of sophisticated codes of practice such as the Eurocodes. The Eurocode documents now represent the best international consensus on design rules for structures exposed to fires. Similarly, codes and standards in US and rest of the world are being updated with rational design provisions for evaluating fire resistance of structures. One such example is the recent introduction of rational fire design approach in the latest edition of American Institute of Steel Construction’s steel design manual.
DESIGNING STEEL STRUCTURES FOR FIRE SAFETY provides guidance for those wishing apply rational engineering methodologies for fire design of steel structures. Codes alone do not provide enough information for structural design, especially as they become more sophisticated and comprehensive. This book provides background material and serves as a design guide for the user. It should help the reader not familiar with the topic to make calculations of the fire resistance of steel structures according to the Eurocodes or other code provisions. The theoretical, technical or historical background is provided when this helps the user to understand more clearly the calculation methodologies, while examples on simple elements and guidance showing how a complete structure can be analyzed are included.
DESIGNING STEEL STRUCTURES FOR FIRE SAFETY is a major new contribution to the wider understanding of structural behavior in fires, and will be invaluable to professionals in civil engineering and architecture, students or teachers in these disciplines, and building officials and regulators in all regions of the world.

'Analysis and Design of Marine Structures' explores recent developments in methods and modelling procedures for structural assessment of marine structures, and is a valuable reference source for academics, engineers and professionals involved in marine structures and design of ship and offshore structures.
From the Back Cover
This book is a collection of papers from MARSTRUCT 2009, the second International Conference on Marine Structures, held in Lisbon, Portugal, 16-18 March 2009, and contains the latest progress made in structural analysis of marine structures.
The MARSTRUCT series of conferences started in Glasgow, UK in 2007, and has the aim of becoming a bi-annual specialised conference dealing with Ship and Offshore Structures. The initial impetus and support for this series was given by the Network of Excellence on Marine Structures (MARSTRUCT), which brings together 33 European research groups and is now in its 6th year of funding by the European Union.
'Analysis and Design of Marine Structures' explores recent developments in methods and modelling procedures for structural assessment of marine structures:
- Methods and tools for establishing loads and load effects;
- Methods and tools for strength assessment;
- Materials and fabrication of structures;
- Methods and tools for structural design and optimisation;
- Structural reliability, safety and environment protection.
The book is a valuable reference source for academics, engineers and professionals involved in marine structures and design of ship and offshore structures.
