Simplified Mechanics and Strength of Materialsby James Ambrose
John Wiley & Sons 2011; US$ 99.00Requiring little in the way of mathematic ability, but providing much information, this guide shows readers how they can understand and predict how a building and its materials will perform when exposed to a variety of external forces (mechanics). New information in this edition includes an analysis of indeterminate structures and the ultimate strength resistance of those structures. A greater emphasis is also placed on the fundamentals, providing professionals with simple concise solutions to common structural problems. Updated code and technology information is included, as are many more illustrations, and a wealth of problems and answers for self-study. more...
Applied Solid Mechanicsby A.S. Tooth; J. Spence
Spon Press 1988; US$ 560.00Proceedings of the Second Applied Solid Mechanics Conference, Glasgow, UK, 7-8 April 1987. more...
Fluid Mechanics for Civil Engineersby Kurt Eichenwald
Spon Press 1971; US$ 99.95This well-established text book fills the gap between the general texts on fluid mechanics and the highly specialised volumes on hydraulic engineering. It covers all aspects of hydraulic science normally dealt with in a civil engineering degree course and will be as useful to the engineer in practice as it is to the student and the teacher. more...
Error-controlled Adaptive Finite Elements in Solid Mechanicsby Erwin Stein; Ekkehard Ramm; E. Rank; R. Rannacher; K. Schweizerhof; E. Stein; W. Wendland; G. Wittum; Peter Wriggers; Walter Wunderlich
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2003; US$ 250.00Finite Element Methods are used for numerous engineering applications where numerical solutions of partial differential equations are needed. As computers can now deal with the millions of parameters used in these methods, automatic error estimation and automatic adaptation of the utilised method (according to this error estimation), has become a hot research topic. This text offers comprehensive coverage of this new field of automatic adaptation and error estimation, bringing together the work of eight outstanding researchers in this field who have completed a six year national research project within the German Science Foundation. The result is a state-of-the-art work in true reference style. Each chapter is self-contained and covers theoretical,... more...
Turbulent Flowby Peter S. Bernard; James M. Wallace
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2002; US$ 145.00Provides unique coverage of the prediction and experimentation necessary for making predictions. Covers computational fluid dynamics and its relationship to direct numerical simulation used throughout the industry. Covers vortex methods developed to calculate and evaluate turbulent flows. Includes chapters on the state-of-the-art applications of research such as control of turbulence. more...
Theory of Vortex Soundby M. S. Howe; D. G. Crighton
Cambridge University Press 2002; US$ 42.00The book is an introduction to theory of sound generation by fluid flow, specially written for a one semester course at advanced undergraduate or graduate level. Problems are provided at the end of each chapter, many of which can be used for extended student projects. A whole chapter is devoted to worked examples. more...
Environmental Fluid Mechanicsby Hillel Rubin; Joseph Atkinson
Marcel Dekker Inc 2001; US$ 119.95This volume furnishes a combination of basic fluid principles and their application in different situations - on the Earth's surface, underground, and in oceans - detailing the use of physical and numerical models and computational approaches for the analysis of environmental processes. more...
Stiffness and Damping in Mechanical Designby Eugene I. Rivin
Marcel Dekker Inc 1999; US$ 239.95Offers designers and users of mechanical systems an overview of structural stiffness and damping and their critical roles in mechanical design. The text assesses the relationship between stiffness and damping parameters in mechanical systems and structural materials. more...
Identification and Control of Mechanical Systemsby Jer-Nan Juang; Minh Q. Phan
Cambridge University Press 2001; US$ 58.00This book discusses the control of vibrating systems, integrating structural dynamics, vibration analysis, modern control, and system identification. The book begins with a review of basic mathematics. Chapters then cover recent developments in aerospace control and identification theory, including virtual passive control, observer and state-space identification, and data-based controller synthesis. more...
Fundamentals of Cavitationby Jean-Pierre Franc; Jean-Marie Michel
Springer 2005; US$ 189.00Why are propeller blades of speedboats strongly eroded? Why does a syringe have to be filled slowly in order to avoid the formation of a vapour cavity near the piston? Why does a pump for watering the garden not work efficiently if it is placed too high above the ground water level? These questions, and many others taken from day to day experience, refer to situations which apparently have no connection between them, except for the fact that the motion of a liquid in part of the system plays an essential role. more...
