The Problem
Have you noticed that the longer you have your computer, the slower it runs and the more it crashes? Often this is because whenever you install or uninstall software, add or remove hardware, or change your computer’s settings, the Windows registry is updated. These changes can leave the registry fragmented, with obsolete, corrupted and, in some cases, harmful files. Over time the registry starts to get bogged down and conflicts emerge. Left unchecked, your system will become increasingly unstable, run more slowly and crash more frequently.
The Solution
RegistryBooster is the easy answer to all your Windows registry problems. This award winning software starts by conducting a deep scan of your registry, checking for file extension errors and other registry conflicts. RegistryBooster will then repair or remove unused, corrupted and harmful files so optimizing your PC’s performance. You can then use regular scans to keep your registry structured and your PC speeding along at peak efficiency. With RegistryBooster you’ll see immediate increases in performance and decreases in system conflicts.

Static and Dynamic Analysis Of Structures - A Physical Approach With Emphasis on Earthquake Engineering

The Author and The Book
Third Edition
Reprint January 2002
Professor Edward L. Wilson has over forty-five years of professional experience in Civil, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. He was a Professor of Structural Engineering at the University of California at Berkeley during the period 1965 to 1991 and has published over 180 papers and books. His research and development contributions have earned him many awards including the election to the National Academy of Engineering in 1985.
Professor Wilson wrote the first automated finite element analysis computer program in 1961 and was the original developer of the CAL, SAP and ETABS series of computer programs. These programs are noted for their accuracy, speed, use of very efficient numerical algorithms and accurate finite elements. During the past ten years, Ed Wilson has worked as a Senior Consultant to CSI on the programming and documentation of these new methods of computational structural analysis.
The major purpose of this book is to summarize the theoretical development of the finite elements and numerical methods used in the latest versions of the SAP and ETABS programs. Most of the elements and numerical methods used in these programs are new and are not presented in current textbooks on structural analysis. In addition, the book summarizes the fundamental equations of mechanics.
A minimum mathematical background is required in order to completely understand the material presented in the book. However, an understanding of the physical behavior of real structures is essential. A computer programming background is not required.
A new three-dimensional quadrilateral SHELL element, with normal rotational degrees-of-freedom, is presented that is accurate for both thin and thick plates and shells. Therefore, shell elements can be easily connected to classical FRAME elements. The three-dimensional SOLID element can be used to model both fluids and solids.
Dynamic analysis is presented as a logical extension of static analysis in which inertia and damping forces are added to satisfy equilibrium at every point in time. The use of Load Dependent Ritz, LDR, vectors in a dynamic analysis produce far more accurate results than if the exact dynamic eigenvectors are used.
The use of LDR vectors allows the classical mode superposition method to be extended to nonlinear dynamic analysis by the use of the Fast Nonlinear Analysis, FNA, method. This new method of nonlinear, dynamic analysis allows structures, with a limited number of nonlinear elements, to be analyzed with almost the same computational time as required for a linear dynamic analysis of the same structure.
This is a “must read” book for all researchers and professionals working in the field of modern structural engineering

Modal Analysis
By Zhi-Fang Fu, Jimin He
Publisher: Butterworth-Heinemann
Number Of Pages: 304
Publication Date: 2001-10-03
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0750650796
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780750650793
This book provides a detailed overview of the theory of analytical and experimental modal analysis and its applications. Modal Analysis is the processes of determining the inherent dynamic characteristics of any system and using them to formulate a mathematical model of the dynamic behavior of the system. In the past two decades it has become a major technological tool in the quest for determining, improving and optimizing dynamic characteristics of engineering structures.
Its main application is in mechanical and aeronautical engineering, but it is also gaining widespread use in civil and structural engineering, biomechanical problems, space structures, acoustic instruments and nuclear engineering.
The only book to focus on the theory of modal analysis before discussing applications
A relatively new technique being utilized more and more in recent years which is now filtering through to undergraduate courses

Fundamentals of Geosynthetic Engineering
By Sanjay Kumar Shukla, Jian-Hua Yin
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
Number Of Pages: 432
Publication Date: 2006-04-26
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0415394449
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780415394444
Over the past three to four decades the interest in geosynthetics among civil engineers has grown considerably and understanding in their correct use has improved. At the same time, significant progress has been made with the use of geosynthetics in civil engineering applications. In fact, geosynthetics have become a construction material commonly used in present-day civil engineering practice throughout the world. Fundamentals of Geosynthetic Engineering provides an overview of the basic concepts of this subject, especially meeting the requirements of students in civil engineering as well as of practising civil engineers who have not been educated on geosynthetics during their university training. All major aspects related to the field applications, including application guidelines and description of case studies, have been included with a view to generate full confidence in the engineering use of geosynthetics. Presentation and layout of the book are attractive and consistent. The book contains a large number of line drawings, sketches, graphs, photographs, and tables to explain the (basic) concepts of all the topics covered in the Work. The aim of the book is to assist all those who want to learn about fundamentals of geosynthetic engineering. Readers will find this book very lively/interactive, and they will understand the basic concepts of most of the topics by self-reading only.

This textbook gives a clear and thorough presentation of the fundamental principles of mechanics and strength of materials. It provides both the theory and applications of mechanics of materials on an intermediate theoretical level, ranging from the mechanical properties of materials through the effects of axial load, torsion, bending, and transverse shear to stresses and strains in bars and continuum mechanics. The book is aimed at graduate and advanced undergraduate students in materials science courses in Mechanical, Civil, and Aerospace Engineering departments. Due to its solid theoretical presentation of basic concepts, the book can also be used as a reference tool by postgraduates and researchers in the fields of solid mechanics as well as practicing engineers.

Stability and Optimization of Structures: Generalized Sensitivity Analysis is the first book to address issues of structural optimization against nonlinear buckling. Through the investigation of imperfection sensitivity, worst imperfection and random imperfection based on concrete theoretical framework, it is shown that optimization against buckling does not necessarily produce an imperfection-sensitive structure.
This book offers the reader greater insight into optimization-based and computer-assisted stability design of finite-dimensional structures. Using the unified approach to parameter sensitivity analysis, it connects studies of elastic stability, computational mechanics and applied mathematics. Optimization based on stability theory is presented and explained, with 140 figures to illustrate applications in the framework of finite element analysis.
