A concise, focused study aid aimed at preparing you for PMP certification
The Project Management Profressional (PMP) certification is the most desired skill in today's IT marketplace and candidates are required to have thousands of hours of PM experience even before taking the PMP exam.
As the ideal reading companion to PMP: Project Management Professional Exam Study Guide, Fifth Edition, or any PMP exam prep guide, this focused study tool gives you that extra preparation you need to approach the grueling PMP exam with confidence. More than 120 review questions, two bonus exams, electronic flashcards, and a searchable key term database all contribute to your preparation for taking the PMP exam.
* Works hand in hand with PMP: Project Management Professional Exam Study Guide, Fifth Edition
* Six chapters correspond to the six domain areas of the PMP exam: initating the project, planning the project, executing the project, monitoring and controlling the project, closing the project, professional and social responsibility
* Accompanying CD-ROM features a test engine, electronic flashcards, and a searchable PDF of key terms
If you're looking to be as prepared as possible before taking the 200-question, 4-hour PMP exam, then this review guide is a must-read.

Dynamics of Flexible Multibody Systems: Rigid Finite Element Method (Foundations of Engineering Mechanics)
Author: Edmund Wittbrodt, Iwona Adamiec-Wójcik and Stanislaw Wojciech | Size: 5.36 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Springer | Year: 2006 | pages: 225 | ISBN: 9783540323518
new approach is presented in this book for modelling multi-body systems, which constitutes a substantial enhancement of the Rigid Finite Element method. The new approach is based on homogeneous transformations and joint coordinates. Apart from its simple physical interpretation and easy computer implementation, the method is also valuable for educational purposes since it impressively illustrates the impact of mechanical features on the mathematical model.

This is the second volume of three books, by the same author, devoted to classical mechanics. In this book, Classical Mechanics: Dynamics, dynamical and advanced mechanics problems are stated, illustrated, and discussed, including a few novel concepts by comparison to standard text books and monographs. Aside from being addressed to a wide spectrum of graduate students, postgraduate students, researchers, and instructors, from the fields of mechanical and civil engineering, this volume, which includes a wealth of worked examples and applications, is also intended to be used as a self-contained reference for researchers in applied mathematics and physical sciences. Chapter 1 covers dynamics of a particle and systems of particles, as well as rigid body motion about a point. Mathematical and physical pendulums are discussed in Chapter 2, and Chapter 3 presents static and dynamic problems of discrete mechanical systems. Classical equations of mechanics are studied in Chapter 4, and Chapter 5 introduces and illustrates classical impact theory. Chapter 6 deals with the vibrations of mechanical systems, and Chapter 7 briefly studies the dynamics of planets. Dynamics of variable mass systems are presented in Chapter 8, and body and multibody dynamics are studied in Chapter 9. A geometric approach to dynamical problems is the focus of Chapter 10, and Chapter 11 ends the text with geometric dynamics.

A two-day workshop on Nonlinear Static Methods for Design/Assessment of 3D Structures was held at the Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture of the Technical University of Lisbon (Instituto Superior Técnico - IST) on 5-6 May 2008. The Workshop was co-chaired by Rita Bento (IST, Lisbon, Portugal) and Rui Pinho (University of Pavia, Italy) and was organized within the scope of the Portuguese national research project POCI/ECM/59306/2004, named “Performance-based Seismic Design Procedures”, of the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia - FCT).
The workshop brought together a group of earthquake engineering experts from Greece, Iran, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia and the United States, and its proceedings are published in the form of this IST Press book. The Workshop constituted a forum for the exchange of research results and ideas on Nonlinear Static Analysis procedures and their applicability for the seismic design/assessment of 3D irregular structures. As such, a number of important NSP-related research topics, found in the body of these Proceedings, were scrutinised and debated.
This book contains the final versions of the invited papers, as well as the main conclusions and recommendations coming from the Workshop. It is therefore hoped that this volume will constitute a valuable and useful contribution to the further development and implementation of nonlinear static methodologies for the seismic assessment and design of irregular structures that may not be analysed by means of planar models.
