Product Description:
The purpose of ground support is to maintain excavations safe and open for their intended lifespan. The effectiveness of a ground support strategy is important for two main reasons; namely safety to personnel and equipment and also to achieve the most economical excavation extraction. Improved ground support techniques and practices can be used to minimize rock mass instability and to maintain an environment free from injuries and fatalities. These proceedings bring together recent experiences about innovative ground support strategies, processes, and products from the top academics, operators, and technology developers from many countries. The topics covered include: case studies from mine sites, rock mass characterization for ground support and reinforcement, modeling, in-situ and laboratory testing, ground support for open pit, dynamic testing, rockfalls and failure and mechanisms, civil engineering and tunneling, design, surface support, corrosion and other means of support. The book is a valuable addition to the library of many professionals involved in the design, analysis, and implementation of ground support techniques and practices.

Product Description:
This book is aiming to concentrate on the nonlinear static and dynamic analysis of structures and structural components that are widely used in everyday engineering applications. It approaches a nonlinear problem by mathematically converting it into an exact equivalent pseudolinear one, in contrast to commonly used approaches which are based on linear concepts. The new concepts, theories and methods introduced in this book, simplify the solution of the complex nonlinear problems, and also allow for the correct usage of the powerful existing linear methods of analysis.
Based on this way of thinking, the book also provides a reasonable treatment regarding the nonlinear analysis of inelastic plates, suspension bridges and their failures, multistory buildings subjected to strong earthquakes, as well as many other interesting nonlinear problems, such as thick cylinders, inelastic torsion, inelastic vibrations, inelastic analysis of flexible members, and many more.

This book provides a look at the theory behind the programs engineers use for the computer simulation of nonlinear structural behavior. It establishes the mathematical foundations for the development of computer programs that can predict the behavior of mechanical and structural components. After a thorough but succinct introduction, the book delves into mathematical preliminaries, kinematics, stress and equilibrium. Subsequent sections address hyperelasticity for compressible and incompressible materials, finite element discretization, equation solution and computer implementation. A short appendix extends the kinematics to provide for elasto-plastic deformation. The book supplies user instructions, program description and examples for the FLAGSHYP computer implementation for which the source code is available free on the Internet. Worked examples and exercises complete each chapter, making it an essential source for engineers and researchers.

Product Description
This book provides a comprehensive description of the major methodologies of nonlinear finite element analysis for solid mechanics, as applied to continua and structures. Treatment of the subject is integrated in such a way that the reader can gain an understanding of the fundamental methods, a feeling for the comparative usefulness of different approaches and an appreciation of the difficulties inherent in nonlinear analysis. In-depth coverage of the following is given:
* Lagrangian and arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian treatments of continua
* many of the material laws used in todays software and research
* solution methods, including explicit and implicit time integration methods and methods for equilibrium problems
* basic concepts such as stability and smoothness, and techniques such as linearization and regularization
* methods for shells and structures
* contact-impact problems
* element technology, including multi-field elements
Ideal for self-study, no other book provides such a comprehensive description of nonlinear finite element analysis for solid mechanics. This is an invaluable reference not only for final year undergraduates, postgraduates, academics and engineers working on sophisticated finite element software and in the field of solid mechanics, but also for all users of nonlinear finite element programs.

Post-earthquake rehabilitation and reconstruction
by Franklin Y. Cheng, Y. Y. Wang
Pergamon, 1996
University of Michigan
ISBN 0080428258, 9780080428253
Damage assessment, rehabilitation, decision-making, social consequences, repair and reconstruction; these are all critical factors for considerations following natural disasters such as earthquakes. In order to address these issues, the United States of America and the Peoples Republic of China regularly organize bilateral symposia/workshops to investigate multiple hazard mitigation, particularly with respect to earthquake engineering. This book contains state-of-the-art reports presented by world-renowned researchers at the US/PRC Sympsosium Workshop on Post-Earthquake Rehabilitation and Reconstruction held in Kunming, Yunnan, China, May 1995. The following key areas are addressed: damage assessment of structures after earthquakes; lessons of post-earthquake recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction, including public policy, land use options, urban planning, and design; issues in and examples of decision-making, and implementation of rehabilitation and reconstruction plans and policies; repair, strengthening, retrofit and control of structures and lifeline systems, post-earthquake socio-economic problems covering issues of relief and recovery; human and organizational behavior during emergency response, and strategies for improvement; real-time monitoring of earthquake response and damage.

Finite Element Methods with B-Splines (Frontiers in Applied Mathematics) (No. 26)
By Klaus Höllig
* Publisher: Society for Industrial Mathematics
* Number Of Pages: 125
* Publication Date: 2003-01-22
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0898715334
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780898715330
* Binding: Hardcover
Product Description:
The finite element method (FEM) has become the most widely accepted general-purpose technique for numerical simulations in engineering and applied mathematics. Principal applications arise in continuum mechanics, fluid flow, thermodynamics, and field theory. In these areas, computational methods are essential and benefit strongly from the enormous advances in computer technology. B-splines play an important role in approximation and geometric modeling. They are used in data fitting, computer-aided design (CAD), automated manufacturing (CAM), and computer graphics. Finite Element Methods with B-Splines describes new weighted approximation techniques, combining the computational advantages of B-splines and standard finite elements. In particular, no grid generation is necessary, which eliminates a difficult and often time-consuming preprocessing step. The meshless methods are very efficient and yield highly accurate solutions with relatively few parameters. This is illustrated for typical boundary value problems in fluid flow, heat conduction, and elasticity.

A must have for every vibration analyst or engineer. I own the set of books (Vibration Analysis, Bearing Analysis and Gear Analysis Handbooks) that Mr. James Taylor has written on the subject of vibration. The Vibration Analysis Handbook particularly is a vital book that every vibration analyst or engineer must use to accurately diagnose vibration problems in rotating machinery. This book is the result of Mr. Taylor's 30 year hands on experience as a vibration analyst. I have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Taylor on several occasions. I attended all three of his week long seminars and let me tell you Mr. Taylor is the most knowledgeable vibration person I have ever met. This book is made up of 6 chapters and it is very well organized. To make a long story short, buy this book with confidence, it is worth every penny.
This is a superb reference handbook for serious engineers and vibration analysts. This book consists of 12 chapters in which there are numerous case studies with photos.
Each procedure or theory is discussed in a non-mathematical way. This book should be of interest to those involved in diagnosing gear problems, teaching gear diagnosis, or writing vibration specifications for gears. This book is based on the authors 30 years experience in the filed of vibration.
