Seismic Performance Analysis of Concrete Gravity Dams (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021): Gaohui Wang, Wenbo Lu, Sherong Zhang Seismic Performance Analysis of Concrete Gravity Dams (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021)
Gaohui Wang, Wenbo Lu, Sherong Zhang
R2,817 Discovery Miles 28 170 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book evaluates the seismic performance of concrete gravity dams, considering the effects of strong motion duration, mainshock-aftershock seismic sequence, and near-fault ground motion. It employs both the extended finite element method (XFEM) and concrete damaged plasticity (CDP) models to characterize the mechanical behavior of concrete gravity dams under strong ground motions, including the dam-reservoir-foundation interaction. In addition, it discusses the effects of the initial crack, earthquake direction, and cross-stream seismic excitation on the nonlinear dynamic response to strong ground motions, and on the damage-cracking risk of concrete gravity dams. This book provides a theoretical basis for the seismic performance evaluation of high dams, and can also be used as a reference resource for researchers and graduate students engaged in the seismic design of high dams.

Problems in Hydraulics and Fluid Mechanics (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021): Sandro Longo, Maria Giovanna Tanda, Luca Chiapponi Problems in Hydraulics and Fluid Mechanics (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021)
Sandro Longo, Maria Giovanna Tanda, Luca Chiapponi
R1,241 Discovery Miles 12 410 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This textbook offers a unique introduction to hydraulics and fluid mechanics through more than 100 exercises, with guided solutions, which students will find valuable in preparation for their preliminary or qualifying exams and for testing their grasp of the subject. In some exercises two different solution methods are proposed, to highlight the fact that the level of complexity of the calculations is often linked to the choice of method, though in most cases only the simplest method is presented. The exercises are organized by subject, covering forces on planes and curved surfaces; floating bodies; exercises that require the application of linear and angular momentum balancing in inertial and non-inertial references; pipeline systems, with particular applications to industrial plants; hydraulic systems with machines (pumps and turbines); transient phenomena in pipelines; and uniform and gradually varied flows in open channels. The book also features appendices that contain selected data and formulas of practical interest. Instructors of courses that address one or all of the above topics will find the exercises of great help in preparing their courses, while researchers will find the book useful as an accessible summary of the topics covered.

Adaptive Approach to Petroleum Reservoir Simulation (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021): Stanislav Ursegov, Armen Zakharian Adaptive Approach to Petroleum Reservoir Simulation (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021)
Stanislav Ursegov, Armen Zakharian
R1,469 Discovery Miles 14 690 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book presents unique features of the adaptive modeling approach based on new machine learning algorithms for petroleum exploration, development, and production. The adaptive approach helps simulation engineers and geoscientists to create adequate geological and hydrodynamic models. This approach is proven to be a real alternative to traditional techniques, such as deterministic modeling. Currently, machine-learning algorithms grow in popularity because they provide consistency, predictiveness, and convenience. The primary purpose of this book is to describe the theoretical state of the adaptive approach and show some examples of its implementation in simulation and forecasting different reservoir processes.
