An Introduction to Continuum Mechanics
Cambridge University Press 2007; US$ 94.00This textbook reflects the modern view that scientists and engineers work in multidisciplinary environments. more...
Introduction to Continuum Mechanics
Elsevier Science 1994; US$ 111.00Continuum mechanics studies the response of materials to different loading conditions. The concept of tensors is introduced through the idea of linear transformation in a self-contained chapter, and the interrelation of direct notation, indicial notation and matrix operations is clearly presented. A wide range of idealized materials are considered... more...
Hybrid Systems with Constraints
Wiley 2013; US$ 125.00Control theory is the main subject of this title, in particular analysis and control design for hybrid dynamic systems. The notion of hybrid systems offers a strong theoretical and unified framework to cope with the modeling, analysis and control design of systems where both continuous and discrete dynamics interact. The theory of hybrid systems has... more...
Yield Design
Wiley 2013; US$ 105.00Since the middle of the 20th Century yield design approaches have been identified with the lower and upper bound theorem of limit analysis theory – a theory associated with perfect plasticity. This theory is very restrictive regarding the applicability of yield design approaches, which have been used for centuries for the stability of civil... more...

Interdisciplinary Mechatronics
Wiley 2013; US$ 165.00Mechatronics represents a unifying interdisciplinary and intelligent engineering science paradigm that features an interdisciplinary knowledge area and interactions in terms of the ways of work and thinking, practical experiences, and theoretical knowledge. Mechatronics successfully fuses (but is not limited to) mechanics, electrical, electronics,... more...
Usability Evaluation for In-Vehicle Systems
CRC Press 2013; US$ 99.95This book presents a process which will support the evaluation and modeling of driver-interface interactions in a dual-task driving context. This process consists of a framework of methods which can be used to evaluate and model the usability of In-Vehicle information Systems (IVIS). The book's focus on design and evaluation of IVIS, coupled with... more...
