The goal of this book is to explore some of the connections between control theory and geometric mechanics; that is, control theory is linked with a geometric view of classical mechanics in both its Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations and in particular with the theory of mechanical systems subject to motion constraints. The synthesis of topics is appropriate as there is a particularly rich connection between mechanics and nonlinear control theory. The aim is to provide a unified treatment of nonlinear control theory and constrained mechanical systems that incorporates material that has not yet made its way into texts and monographs. This book is intended for graduate students who wish to learn this subject and researchers in the area who want to enhance their techniques.

info:
CSiCOL is a comprehensive software package used for the analysis and design of columns. The design of columns of any concrete, reinforced concrete, or composite cross-section can be carried out by the program. CSiCOL provides a 'Quick Design Wizard' tool that guides the users step-by-step, through the whole process of column design. This makes the design process simple, organized and efficient. The design can be carried out in accordance with ACI-318-02, ACI-318-99, BS8110 or CSA A-23.3-94 codes.
CSiCOL is capable of handling an unlimited number of load combinations both for sway and non-sway conditions. The design actions may be specified directly or may be computed by the program using the moment magnification method. The design and analysis take into account the slenderness effects. Sway or non-sway condition checks may also be performed by the program as specified by the selected design code. Moreover, CSiCOL is capable of determining the Effective Length Factor based on the framing and end conditions of the column.

Advanced Engineering Mathematics
Erwin Kreyszig,
John Wiley & Sons
2005-12-29
ISBN: 0471728977
1232 pages
PDF 114 MB
This excellent text provides both reference material and in depth tuition, covering a wide range of areas of mathematics. Each chapter guides the reader through the subject matter, with worked examples and exercises (answers to odd numbered questions are in the back.) Many examples and problems demonstrate the practical applications for the mathematics studied, in the areas of engineering, electronics and physics. This comprehensive text is ideally suited for those seeking an all round post-A-level / undergraduate /postgraduate text. An absolute must for all serious scientists!
This is an absolutely great book. At over 1000 pages it's a real opus - covering everything from ordinary differential equations, linear algebra, vector calculus, fourier analysis, complex analysis and probability. It's exceptionally well written - with plenty of clear examples, diagrams and exercises - constantly cross referencing back to the particular idea or formula that an example is employing. It presupposes only elementary calculus - and so makes an excellent university textbook to accompany study, or as a self-study book to further your maths knowledge.

The comprehensive reference on modern techniques and methods for monitoring and inspecting corrosion
Strategic corrosion inspection and monitoring can improve asset management and life cycle assessment and optimize operational budgets. Advances in computer technologies and electronics have led to very efficient tools for monitoring and inspecting corrosion, including impedance spectroscopy, electrical field signatures, acoustic emissions, and radiographs. This up-to-date reference explains both intrusive and non-intrusive methods of measuring corrosion rates. It covers:
# The impact of corrosion on the economy and the safe operation of systems in diverse operational environments
# The various forms of corrosion, with a focus on the detectability of corrosion damage in the real world
# The principles of risk-based inspection and various risk assessment methodologies (HAZOP, FMECA, FTA, and ETA), with examples from industry
# The monitoring of microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC), cathodic protection (CP) systems, and atmospheric corrosion
# Non-destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques, including visual, ultrasonic, radiographic, electromagnetic, and thermographic inspection
# Roadmaps used by various industries and organizations for carrying out complex inspection and monitoring schedules
Complete with graphics and illustrations, this is the definitive reference for professionals involved in the maintenance of industrial systems and structures, from oil exploration to chemical plants and infrastructures; consultants; property managers; and civil, materials, and construction engineers.

Solved Problems in Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Mechanics
The aim of this work is to bridge the gap between the well-known Newtonian mechanics and the studies on chaos, ordinarily reserved to experts. Several topics are treated: Lagrangian, Hamiltonian and Jacobi formalisms, studies of integrable and quasi-integrable systems. The chapter devoted to chaos also enables a simple presentation of the KAM theorem. All the important notions are recalled in summaries of the lectures. They are illustrated by many original problems, stemming from real-life situations, the solutions of which are worked out in great detail for the benefit of the reader. This book will be of interest to undergraduate students as well as others whose work involves mechanics, physics and engineering in general.

STAAD.foundation V8i (Release 5.0) was released in the first week of July 2009. This version is a major leap forward in addressing the foundation design needs for practicing engineers and a major upgrade to version 4.3.
The workflow in STAAD.foundation has been revised to align with the practical needs of practicing engineers. Most of the development effort was dedicated to produce professional quality drawings and step by step calculation sheets enabling engineers to see how the results were derived. All drawings are customizable and can be exported to DWG or DGN files. The old layout drawings have been replaced by more detailed GA (General Arrangement) drawings which produce a table with foundation marks and sizes along with actual foundation plan drawing. Detailed drawings have been revised to minimize the effort to produce construction drawings. A new "schedule drawing" is also introduced to produce foundation schedule drawings.
Several new foundation types have been added like "Block foundation", "Drilled Pier" and "Dead man anchor guy foundation". A new "Foundation Toolkit" mode has been created to address the needs of special foundation types like "Drilled Pier". New design parameters such as "water table" and "cohesion" have been added to both the isolated and combined foundation modules to address buoyancy effect and cohesion effect during uplift for all design codes. "Footing grouping" is another new feature to optimize time and cost and material.
The Australian (AS 3600-2400) and Canadian (CSA 23.3-04) codes are added to design isolated, combined and mat foundations.
A new verification manual will be published along with the software release including 60+ verification cases ranging from simple axially loaded footings to complex biaxial bending problems to polygonal shaped mat foundation. Verification problems are created to explain the design procedures for special foundations like "drilled pier" foundation.
