Passive Vibration Control
Denys J. Mead
Wiley 1999
ISBN: 0471942030
Pages: 554
DJVU 16.58 MB
Developments in passive control technology and theory over recent years require a comprehensive new work on the subject, a gap now filled by Passive Vibration Control. In this volume, the divide between the many classical text books on vibration analysis and the few books on specialist aspects of passive control is finally bridged. In addition, the valuable analytical tool of receptance/dynamic stiffness theory is extensively covered. Initially, a review of recent findings on vibration levels which cause structural damage, machine malfunctioning or human disturbance, discomfort and injury is presented. The following four chapters review the theoretical response of structures to imposed forces or motions (which may in turn be harmonic, periodic, random or transient) and aim to advance the readers existing knowledge of vibration theory into the theory of receptances and structural modal analysis. This presentation has a two-fold purpose: (a) to enhance physical understanding of theoretical concepts and (b) to identify the principal system parameters which control vibration levels before passive control measures are undertaken. The remaining chapters consider successively the controlling factors in beam and plate vibration and methods of reduction, general structural design principles for minimizing vibration, the control of vibration by localized additions (with special emphasis on dynamics absorbers), and sources of structural damping and damping methods. The use of vibration isolators and, finally, combinations of these methods are also examined, resulting in a text of great value and interest to all vibration control analysts, practitioners, and researchers.

Stone: Building Stone, Rock Fill and Armourstone in Construction
info:
Stone:Building Stone, Rock Fill and Armourstone in Construction
(Geological Society Engineering Geology Special Publication 16)
Publisher: Geological Society of London
Pages: 478
Publication Date: 1999-06-01
ISBN: 1862390290
PDF 19MB
The Engineering Group of the Geological Society convened a Working Party in 1993 and gave it the objective of presenting an authoritative, comprehensive and contemporary account of the use in construction of rock in larger particulate form, subsequently generally referred to as 'stone'. The membership of the Working Party comprised experts in the origins, investigation, extraction, processing, use, specification, decay, cleaning and repair of stone.The resulting book is a unique, modern introduction to the subject and a source of further reference for architects, civil engineers, geologists, masons, quarry managers, structural engineers, surveyors and those responsible for restoration and maintenance of stone structures. Text boxes explain detail or specialized topics to the interested reader without interupting the main flow of the text. The book is highly illustrated with photographs taken by the authors and diagrams specially drawn for this publication. The book also includes a valuable glossary of terms and compliations of test methods and rock properties

Geological Fluid Dynamics: Sub-surface Flow and Reactions

Geological Fluid Dynamics: Sub-surface Flow and Reactions
Owen M. Phillips
Cambridge University Press
2009-02-23
ISBN: 0521865557
298 pages
PDF 4 MB
This book is the long-awaited successor to Owen Phillips's classic textbook, Flow and Reactions in Permeable Rocks, published in 1991. In the intervening 18 years between the two, significant advances have been made to our understanding of subterranean flow, especially through the vast amount of research into underground storage of nuclear waste and aquifer pollution. This new book integrates and extends these modern ideas and techniques and applies them to the physics and chemistry of sub-surface flows in water-saturated, sandy and rocky media. It describes essential scientific concepts and tools for hydrologists and public health ecologists concerned with present day flow and transport, and also for geologists who interpret present day patterns of mineralization in terms of fluid flow in the distant past. The book is ideal for graduate students and professionals in hydrology, water resources, and aqueous geochemistry.

To edit images from Amazon (like Book fronts), and delete the uncomfortable arrow over the image you can follow the sequence:
First, Click right in the Image and select "Copy image address"
Secondly, Open a new tab and in the address rule paste the previous link. That is looking like that:
"http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/511b292i9UL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_AA240_SH20_OU03_.jpg"
Then, Push enter and you can see the following image (for example):
Next, Edit the address in the upper rule this way:
Delete only this part
"_BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_AA240_SH20_OU03_."
The new address would see like this:
"http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/511b292i9UL.jpg"
Push enter. You would see this image:
Click right over it and select "Copy Image address"
Put the preceding address in the COVER space of the PostGenerator
Normally, the section "_BO#,###,###,###_######-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,##,-##_#####_####_####_." in the image address is the arrow upper the original image, if you can delete it, you can recover the complete picture.
SOIL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION - the real behaviour of structures.
info:
Prior to 1970, design practice tended to consider the ground and the structure in relative isolation. The Institution of Structural Engineers, in support of the need for recognition to be given to interactive effects, formed a special study group in 1971 to study the matter and make recommendations. This led to the setting up of an ad hoc committee which prepared the state of the art report –Structure-Soil Interaction - published in 1978.
In accordance with institution procedures the relevance of the 1978 document to current practice was reviewed and the need for revision and extension was identified. The Institution with the cooperation of the Institution of Civil Engineers and the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering, has responded to the current demand for adequate definition of the problems presented by the interactive effects and has initiated the preparation of this comprehensive guidance covering most types of structure.
