Nonlinear Structural Mechanics: Theory, Dynamical Phenomena and Modeling offers a concise, coherent presentation of the theoretical framework of nonlinear structural mechanics, computational methods, applications, parametric investigations of nonlinear phenomena and their mechanical interpretation towards design. The theoretical and computational tools that enable the formulation, solution, and interpretation of nonlinear structures are presented in a systematic fashion so as to gradually attain an increasing level of complexity of structural behaviors, under the prevailing assumptions on the geometry of deformation, the constitutive aspects and the loading scenarios. Readers will find a treatment of the foundations of nonlinear structural mechanics towards advanced reduced models, unified with modern computational tools in the framework of the prominent nonlinear structural dynamic phenomena while tackling both the mathematical and applied sciences.
Nonlinear Structural Mechanics: Theory, Dynamical Phenomena and Modeling is an excellent reference for engineers of various disciplines, students, and researchers involved with nonlinear structural mechanics and dynamics.

Finite Element Simulations with ANSYS Workbench 14 is a comprehensive and easy to understand workbook. It utilizes step-by-step instructions to help guide readers to learn finite element simulations. Twenty seven case studies are used throughout the book. Many of these cases are industrial or research projects the reader builds from scratch. An accompanying DVD contains all the files readers may need if they have trouble. Relevant background knowledge is reviewed whenever necessary. To be efficient, the review is conceptual rather than mathematical, short, yet comprehensive. Key concepts are inserted whenever appropriate and summarized at the end of each chapter. Additional exercises or extension research problems are provided as homework at the end of each chapter.
Who this book is for
This book is designed to be used mainly as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students. It will work well in:
-a finite element simulation course taken before any theory-intensive courses
-an auxiliary tool used as a tutorial in parallel during a Finite Element Methods course
-an advanced, application oriented, course taken after a Finite Element Methods course

The book gives a comprehensive description of the mechanical response of soils (granular and cohesive materials) under cyclic loading. It provides the geotechnical engineer with the theoretical and analytical tools necessary for the evaluation of settlements developng with time under cyclic, einvironmentally idncued loads (such as wave motion, wind actions, water table level variation) and their consequences for the serviceability and durability of structures such as the shallow or deep foundations used in offshore engineering, caisson beakwaters, ballast and airport pavements and also to interpret monitoring data, obtained from both natural and artificial slopes and earth embankments, for the purposes of risk assessment and mitigation.

The aim of the book is to present the emerging environmental issues in organization and management of transport logistics. The scope of the book includes set of solutions which show different stakeholders’ viewpoints on sustainability. It points out how the transport operations organized and conducted in companies and regions might be consistent with the concept of sustainable development. The scope of the book takes into consideration trade-off relations between actors directly and indirectly involved in transport networks. Therefore, the authors present, in individual chapters, innovative approach to eco-friendly organization and coordination of transport processes, as well as management of transport networks.

Smart Sensors for Real-Time Water Quality Monitoring (Smart Sensors, Measurement and Instrumentation)
Author: Subhas C Mukhopadhyay and Alex Mason | Size: 11 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Springer | Year: 2013 | pages: 300 | ISBN: 3642370055
Sensors are being utilized to increasing degrees in all forms of industry. Researchers and industrial practitioners in all fields seek to obtain a better understanding of appropriate processes so as to improve quality of service and efficiency. The quality of water is no exception, and the water industry is faced with a wide array of water quality issues being present world-wide.
Thus, the need for sensors to tackle this diverse subject is paramount. The aim of this book is to combine, for the first time, international expertise in the area of water quality monitoring using smart sensors and systems in order that a better understanding of the challenges faced and solutions posed may be available to all in a single text.

DYNAMIC RESPONSE OF CIRCULAR PLATES ON ELASTIC FOUNDATION SUBJECTED TO SONIC BOOMS
Author: ANESH SIRCAR, Department of Mathematics, Regional Engineering College, Durgapur 9 (Communicated by F. C. Auluck, (Received 2 November 1972; alter revision 2 April 1973) | Size: 0.55 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Year: 1972 | pages: 9
The dynamic response of circular plates resting on elastic foundation subjected
to an N-shaped pressure pulse resulting from a sonic boom is presented here.
Case of a plate supported on Winkler type foundation is considered and solution
obtained. The solution is given for a plate restrained at the outer
boundary by means of supports which resist elastically both the transverse
displacements and rotations. The plate is analysed according to classical
plate theory, neglecting rotatory inertia and shear strains.
