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.

Planning Buildings for a High-Rise Environment in Hong Kong: A Review of Building Appeal Decisions
Author: Lawrence Wai-Chung Lai, Daniel Chi-Wing Ho | Size: 21.15 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Hong Kong Univ. Press | Year: 2000 | pages: 401 | ISBN: 9622095054
This book is the first attempt to present the decisions of Hong Kong's Building Appeal Tribunal in a comprehensive and systematic style. Grouped under nine major themes, the cases exhibit the arguments considered by the Tribunal with emphasis on the general principles utilized in deciding them.

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.

his text aims to provide students in engineering with a sound presentation of post-calculus mathematics. It features numerous examples, many involving engineering applications, and contains all mathematical techniques for engineering degrees. The book also contains over 5000 exercises, which range from routine practice problems to more difficult applications. In addition, theoretical discussions illuminate principles, indicate generalizations and establish limits within which a given technique may or may not be safely used.

The problem of liquid sloshing in moving or stationary containers remains of great concern to aerospace, civil, and nuclear engineers; physicists; designers of road tankers and ship tankers; and mathematicians. Beginning with the fundamentals of liquid sloshing theory, this book takes the reader systematically from basic theory to advanced analytical and experimental results in a self-contained and coherent format. The book is divided into four sections. Part I deals with the theory of linear liquid sloshing dynamics; Part II addresses the nonlinear theory of liquid sloshing dynamics, Faraday waves, and sloshing impacts; Part III presents the problem of linear and nonlinear interaction of liquid sloshing dynamics with elastic containers and supported structures; and Part IV considers the fluid dynamics in spinning containers and microgravity sloshing. This book will be invaluable to researchers and graduate students in mechanical and aeronautical engineering, designers of liquid containers, and applied mathematicians.
