Progressive collapse is the collapse of all or a large part of a structure precipitated by damage or failure of a relatively small part of it. The phenomenon is of particular concern since progressive collapse is often (though not always) disproportionate, i.e., the collapse is out of proportion to the event that triggers it. Thus, in structures susceptible to progressive collapse, small events can have catastrophic consequences.

Metal Forming Analysis
R. H. Wagoner, J.-L. Chenot,
Cambridge University Press
2001
ISBN: 0521642671
390 pages
DjVu 21,7 MB
Numerical methods, particularly finite element (FE) analysis, are being used increasingly to optimize product design and deal with problems in metal forging, rolling, and extrusion processes. Metal Forming Analysis describes the latest and most important numerical techniques for simulating metal-forming operations. The first part of the book describes principles and procedures and includes numerous examples and worked problems. The remaining chapters focus on applications of numerical analysis to specific forming operations. Most of these results are drawn from the authors' research in the areas of metal testing, sheet metal forming, forging, extrusion, and similar operations. Sufficient information is presented so that readers can understand the application of the nonlinear finite element method to forming problems without a prior background in structural finite element analysis.

Concepts and Applications of Finite Element Analysis
info:
A structural mechanical approach to finite element analysis, now in a new edition. Contains over 750 problems (many of them new), introduces matrix methods early on and includes Fortran algorithms for solving numerous problems. Emphasis is physical and practical, rather than mathematical, and advanced topics such as nonlinear material behavior and structural dynamics are given comprehensive treatment.

K-Lite Codec Pack is a collection of codecs and related tools. Codec is short for Compressor-Decompressor. Codecs are needed for encoding and decoding (playing) audio and video.
This Codec Pack is designed as a user-friendly solution for playing all your movie files. You should be able to play all the popular movie formats and even some rare formats.
The K-Lite Codec Pack has a couple of major advantages compared to other codec packs: It it always very up-to-date with the latest versions of the codecs; It is very user-friendly and the installation is fully customizable, meaning that you can install only those components that you really want; It has been very well tested, so that the package doesn’t contain any conflicting codecs; It is a very complete package, containing everything you need to play your movies; and has different packages.
Full contains even more codecs. It also has encoding support for various formats. This package is for power users and people who do their own encodings

The only text to cover both thermodynamic and statistical mechanics--allowing students to fully master thermodynamics at the macroscopic level. Presents essential ideas on critical phenomena developed over the last decade in simple, qualitative terms. This new edition maintains the simple structure of the first and puts new emphasis on pedagogical considerations. Thermostatistics is incorporated into the text without eclipsing macroscopic thermodynamics, and is integrated into the conceptual framework of physical theory.

Super Structures
Inklink, Phil Wilkinson,
DK CHILDREN
2008
ISBN: 0756640881
PDF 43,1 MB
From Booklist
In typical DK visual-oriented style, this book presents many different types of man-made structures, beginning with wonders of the ancient world, and ranging all the way forward to Spaceport America, a commercial space-travel facility that is still in its planning and construction phases, with stops at castles, skyscrapers, bridges, towers, and more along the way. Each type of structure is given a general overview before focusing in on inviting spreads of specific examples, such as Neuschwanstein Castle and Hagia Sophia, former place of worship, now a museum. Each spread has a detailed, two-page illustration of the structure with multiple cutaways (a few are foldouts) and fact-bits peppered across the pages. This is followed by a “Building Blocks” section, which provides more photographs, design illustrations, light blueprints, and interesting trivia related to the highlighted structure. The scattershot design makes it all but impossible to read straight through, but readers with a developing interest in architecture or engineering or simply an appreciation for mankind’s most awesome constructions will find much to pore over here. Grades 5-8. --Ian Chipman
5.0 out of 5 stars
This is an astounding book for those who have a fascination with buildings or simply anyone who
enjoys a good book!, June 16, 2009 By D. Fowler "Dragonfly77" (Vermont) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
Every now and then you probably see a building, on television or in your travels, just take a look and it and say WOW! Some buildings are unimaginably beautiful while others are just stupendous and unusual. In school you've probably heard stories about the thousands of people it took just to build the pyramids, the precise measurements involved and the many years it took to build them. In this book you'll see and learn about some of the most amazing architecture in the world. There are frequent scattered sections called "building blocks." These give you an overview of the following building to be discussed. The book discusses things like styles, construction, materials used, laborers, history or other interesting vignettes about them. There are several pages that will surprise you . . . when you go to turn the page you suddenly find a four page, gorgeous spread in front of you!
In this book you will see some amazing "ancient and modern wonders." The types of architecture include castles, palaces, skyscrapers, bridges, buildings in the arts, towers, pyramids, tombs, places of worship, transportation hubs, bizarre buildings and future buildings. Among the many you will see in great detail include the Neuschwanstein, Diocletian's Palace, the Empire State Building, the Millau Viaduct, the Guggenheim Museum, Malaysia's Petronas Towers, the Terra-cotta Army, the Hagia Sophia, the Moscow Underground, Italy's Tower of Pisa and a Spaceport near Upham, New Mexico.
This book has some amazing photography and illustrations. It is surprisingly detailed and one could spend quite a bit of time on one of the more detailed pages. This is a wonderful book for those who have a fascination with buildings or simply anyone who enjoys a good book. When you open this book, you'll be just like a kid in a candy basket, unable to decide what to look at next. In the back of the book there is a detailed glossary and an index. Get ready for a lot of fun with this book . . . even the most reluctant reader won't be able to turn away from its pages!
