Computational optimization methods have matured over the last few years due to extensive research by applied mathematicians and engineers. These methods have been applied to many practical applications. Several general-purpose optimization programs and programs for specific engineering applications have become available to solve particular optimization problems. Written by leading researchers in the field of optimization, this highly readable book covers state-of-the-art computational algorithms as well as applications of optimization to structural and mechanical systems. Formulations of the problems and numerical solutions are presented, and topics requiring further research are also suggested.

Math for Wastewater Treatment Operators, Grades 1 & 2:
A Guide to Preparing for Wastewater Treatment Operator Certification Exams
Author: John Giorgi | Size: 7 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: American Waterworks Association | Year: 2009 | Pages: 125 | ISBN: 1583215875, 9781583215876
This new book was written to provide students and operators with examples of a variety of different problems that will be encountered both on the job and for Grades 1 & 2 certification exams. This book is divided into four main parts: a review of significant numbers and rounding; two chapters on math followed by practice tests; and appendices. Each problem is presented with easily followed steps and comments to facilitate understanding. Included after each grade level are tests to help you determine where your strengths or weaknesses are. Appendices contain conversion factors, wastewater treatment equations, chemistry tables, depth-to-diameter tables, and flow charts of wastewater treatment processes.

This first volume of a two-volume work presents the basic theoretical principles, methods of analysis in obtaining the solutions of beam-columns, and developments of theories of biaxially loaded beam-columns, and shows how these theories can be used in the solution of practical design problems. After presenting the basic theory the authors proceed to solutions of particular problems. The book discusses both refined and simplified design procedures, along with their limitations. It is left to the engineer to choose among them as he sees fit.
An unabridged J. Ross Publishing republication of the edition published by McGraw-Hill, Inc., New York, 1976, 536pp.
Key Features
-Discusses the complete theory of beam-columns from the most elementary to the most advanced state of development
-Presents various methods of solution that are best suited for different types of beam-column problems
-Provides numerical results in terms of tables, charts, and diagrams which furnish values of critical loads for various beam-column problems

This book contains a careful analysis of geological and environmental issues and a correct reconstruction of the conceptual model
This leads to optimal design solutions
This book presents a synthesis of current knowledge about all the issues needed to ensure the safety to the workers during construction and to the users
The construction of tunnels involves the resolution of various complex technical problems depending on the geological and geological-environmental context in which the work fits.
Only a careful analysis of all the geological and geological-environmental issues and a correct reconstruction of the conceptual model can lead to optimal design solutions from all points of view (including financial) and ensure the safety of workers during the construction and users in the operation phase.
It was therefore felt that there was a need to collect in one volume the state of current knowledge about:
all the geological and environmental issues related to the construction of underground works
the different methodologies used for the reconstruction of the conceptual model
the different risk typologies that it is possible to encounter or that can arise from tunnel construction, and
the most important risk assessment, management and mitigation methodologies that are used in tunneling studies.

This book examines the possible impacts of climate change on hydrology and water resources in the vast arid region of Northwest China, which is one of the world’s largest arid places.
The first chapter offers an introductory discussion of the physical geography and socioeconomic conditions in the region. Chapters 2 through 7 discuss the climate system and hydrologic system changes in the region, and assess some implications of these changes in relation to potential evapotranspiration, the hydrological cycle and spatiotemporal variations of the snow cover and glaciers as measured via remote sensing, geographic information systems, and statistical analysis. Chapters 8 and 9 focus on model description and experimental design for interpreting the hydro-climatic process, emphasizing the integration of water, climate, and land ecosystems through field observations and computer-based simulations. Chapter 10 examines some extreme hydrological events and presents a study using the historical trend method to investigate the spatial and temporal variability of changing temperature and precipitation extremes in the hyper-arid region of Northwest China.
A concluding chapter discusses possible strategies for sustainable watershed management. The contributors are acknowledged experts who bring broad, relevant experience on water resources research in China’s cold and arid regions. The lessons of this volume will prove useful for understanding arid areas elsewhere in the world.

Synthesizing knowledge acquired as a result of significant research and development over recent years, Smart Structures clearly illustrates why these structures are of such intense current interest. Gaudenzi offers valuable insight into both how they behave and how and at what cost they could be designed and produced for real life applications in cutting edge fields such as vibration control, shape morphing, structural health monitoring and energy transduction.
Smart Structures offers a basic and fundamental description of smart structures from the physical, mathematical and engineering viewpoint. It explains the basic physics relating to the behaviour of active materials, gives the mathematical background behind the phenomena, and provides tools for numerical simulation. It also offers an insight into considerations related to the manufacturing, assembly and integration of smart structures.
Smart Structures is divided into 5 sections: in the first part a definition of smart structures is proposed, the motivation for developing a smart structure presented and the basic physics of active materials such aspiezoelectrics, electrostrictives, magnetostrictives and shape memory alloys briefly recalled. A second part is devoted to the mathematical modelling of piezoelectric bodies. The third part discusses actuation and sensing mechanisms based on which the active part of a smart structure will produce “results” on the passive one. The fourth part deals with active composites at the micromechanical and macromechanical level, and the fifth part is devoted to applications of smart structures with examples taken from the aerospace field.
This introduction to smart structures will be useful both for structural and mechanical designers, and for students and researchers at graduate level or beyond. The diverse industries involved in this rapidly evolving field include aerospace, automotive and bioengineering.
