A range of engineers, geologists and hydrologists need to understand groundwater movement. This senior undergraduate and the graduate level text covers the topic from theory and principles through to practical engineering problems. It is written for engineering and science students but the large number of illustrations and worked examples should also suit professionals. A careful balance is maintained between mathematical rigour and the physical aspects of groundwater movement. The core mathematics generally acquired during the first two semesters of calculus at university level is assumed, and further skills needed for the analysis of groundwater movement are gradually developed throughout the text. It avoids unnecessary mathematical subtleties and over-simplifications of qualitative descriptions.

Abstract: This book is written to inspire and empower students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE) degree. It is designed as a textbook for an introductory course in a civil engineering curriculum. Students who come to a BSCE degree program may have some vague idea of civil engineering as a discipline or a profession. Some may have mistaken civil engineering as being mainly about architectural design. While it usually takes four years of study to learn to some degree what civil engineering is about, it is possible to provide a general description of civil engineering as a discipline by going through its major technical areas and the attributes of civil engineers

Assuming no prior background in linear algebra or real analysis, An Introduction to MATLAB® Programming and Numerical Methods for Engineers enables you to develop good computational problem solving techniques through the use of numerical methods and the MATLAB® programming environment. Part One introduces fundamental programming concepts, using simple examples to put new concepts quickly into practice. Part Two covers the fundamentals of algorithms and numerical analysis at a level allowing you to quickly apply results in practical settings.Tips, warnings, and "try this" features within each chapter help the reader develop good programming practices. Chapter summaries, key terms, and functions and operators lists at the end of each chapter allow for quick access to important information .At least three different types of end of chapter exercises - thinking, writing, and coding - let you assess your understanding and practice what you've learned

Author(s)/Editor(s): Jin Kuk Kim and Sabu Thomas | Size: 10 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: springer | Year: 2016 | pages: 410 | ISBN: 9401773238
The book offers an in-depth review of the materials design and manufacturing processes employed in the development of multi-component or multiphase polymer material systems. This field has seen rapid growth in both academic and industrial research, as multiphase materials are increasingly replacing traditional single-component materials in commercial applications. Many obstacles can be overcome by processing and using multiphase materials in automobile, construction, aerospace, food processing, and other chemical industry applications.
The comprehensive description of the processing, characterization, and application of multiphase materials presented in this book offers a world of new ideas and potential technological advantages for academics, researchers, students, and industrial manufacturers from diverse fields including rubber engineering, polymer chemistry, materials processing and chemical science. From the commercial point of view it will be of great value to those involved in processing, optimizing and manufacturing new materials for novel end-use applications. The book takes a detailed approach to the description of process parameters, process optimization, mold design, and other core manufacturing information. Details of injection, extrusion, and compression molding processes have been provided based on the most recent advances in the field.
Over two comprehensive sections the book covers the entire field of multiphase polymer materials, from a detailed description of material design and processing to the cutting-edge applications of such multiphase materials. It provides both precise guidelines and general concepts for the present and future leaders in academic and industrial sectors.

This essential reference guide to strategies and solutions for urban planning in hot arid environments reflects the journey toward many cities, towns and villages in Iran, which are documented and presented in the form of case studies and comparative analysis. It is the outcome of extensive research on the influence of historical, cultural and climatic factors on urban spatial forms and rural complexes in Iran’s Hot Arid Zone.
The environment of the Hot Arid Zone offers valuable insights into how to overcome historical difficulties, how to endure harsh climatic conditions, how to be innovative and creative in responding to problems in new ways, and how to utilize natural energy sources. Considerable attention is given to the recognition of values, current problems and the renewal of traditional fabrics, urban blocks and traditional buildings. Important aspects in both academic education and in the urban design profession include traditional urban structures and traditional approaches to using natural energy as a creative process that is continuously changing and renews itself over time – a dynamic characteristic from which we can glean many lessons for the future.

Computer Simulation of Polymeric Materials: Applications of the OCTA System
Author(s)/Editor(s): Japan Association for Chemical Innovation | Size: 19 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: SPRINGER | Year: 2016 | pages: 400 | ISBN: 9811008140
This book is the first to introduce a mesoscale polymer simulation system called OCTA. With its name derived from "Open Computational Tool for Advanced material technology," OCTA is a unique software product, available without charge, that was developed in a project funded by Japanese government. OCTA contains a series of simulation programs focused on mesoscale simulation of the soft matter COGNAC, SUSHI, PASTA, NAPLES, MUFFIN, and KAPSEL. When mesoscale polymer simulation is performed, one may encounter many difficulties that this book will help to overcome. The book not only introduces the theoretical background and functions of each simulation engine, it also provides many examples of the practical applications of the OCTA system. Those examples include predicting mechanical properties of plastic and rubber, morphology formation of polymer blends and composites, the micelle structure of surfactants, and optical properties of polymer films. This volume is strongly recommended as a valuable resource for both academic and industrial researchers who work in polymer simulation.
