Nonlinear Dynamics of Compliant Offshore Structures (Hardcover): Patrick Bar-Avi Nonlinear Dynamics of Compliant Offshore Structures (Hardcover)
Patrick Bar-Avi
R1,360 Discovery Miles 13 600 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This monograph provides a general background to the modelling of a special class of offshore structures known as compliant structures. External forcing is resisted by buoyancy and tension forces which increase when the structure is slightly offset from its equilibrium. The technical development given in this book is presented in such a way as to highlight the adaptability of the modelling, and the reader is shown how the techniques described can be applied to a variety of different offshore structures.

Freeze-Thaw Durability of Concrete (Hardcover): J. Marchand, M. Pigeon, M.J. Setzer Freeze-Thaw Durability of Concrete (Hardcover)
J. Marchand, M. Pigeon, M.J. Setzer
R6,124 Discovery Miles 61 240 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Concrete durability in climates where freezing and thawing occurs is a continuing problem. It is particularly acute for highway and bridge structures, where de-icing salts are used to combat the effects of frost, snow and ice. These salts can cause damage to concrete and accelerate corrosion of reinforcements. This book presents the latest international research on this area, with contributions from North America and Europe which were presented at an international RILEM workshop.

Fatigue Design - Life Expectancy of Machine Parts (Hardcover, New): Eliahu Zahavi Fatigue Design - Life Expectancy of Machine Parts (Hardcover, New)
Eliahu Zahavi
R4,373 Discovery Miles 43 730 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Modern analytical theories of fatigue coupled with a knowledge of processing effects on metals make up the sound basis for designing machine parts that are free from unexpected failure. Fatigue Design: Life Expectancy of Machine Parts provides the information and the tools needed for optimal design. It highlights practical approaches for effectively solving fatigue problems, including minimizing the risk of hidden perils that may arise during production processes or from exposure to the environment. The material is presented with a dual approach: the excellent coverage of the theoretical aspects is accented by practical illustrations of the behavior of machine parts. The theoretical approach combines the fundamentals of solid mechanics, fatigue analysis, and crack propagation. The chapters covering fatigue theories are given special emphasis, starting with the basics and progressing to complicated multiaxial nonlinear problems. The practical approach concentrates on the effects of surface processing on fatigue life and it illustrates many faceted fatigue problems taken from case studies. The solutions demonstrate the authors' detailed analyses of failure and are intended to be used as preventive guidelines. The cases are a unique feature of the book. The numerical method used is the finite element method, and is presented with clear explanations and illustrations. Fatigue Design: Life Expectancy of Machine Parts is an extremely valuable tool for both practicing design engineers and engineering students.

Nonlinear Waves in Elastic Media (Hardcover): A.G. Kulikovskii, Elena I. Sveshnikova Nonlinear Waves in Elastic Media (Hardcover)
A.G. Kulikovskii, Elena I. Sveshnikova
R7,145 Discovery Miles 71 450 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Nonlinear Waves in Elastic Media explores the theoretical results of one-dimensional nonlinear waves, including shock waves, in elastic media. It is the first book to provide an in-depth and comprehensive presentation of the nonlinear wave theory while taking anisotropy effects into account. The theory is completely worked out and draws on 15 years of research by the authors, one of whom also wrote the 1965 classic Magnetohydrodynamics.
Nonlinear Waves in Elastic Media emphasizes the behavior of quasitransverse waves and analyzes arbitrary discontinuity disintegration problems, illustrating that the solution can be non-unique - a surprising result. The solution is shown to be especially interesting when anisotropy and nonlinearity effects interact, even in small-amplitude waves. In addition, the text contains an independent mathematical chapter describing general methods to study hyperbolic systems expressing the conservation laws.
The theoretical results described in Nonlinear Waves in Elastic Media allow, for the first time, discovery and interpretation of many new peculiarities inherent to the general problem of discontinuous solutions and so provide a valuable resource for advanced students and researchers involved with continuum mechanics and partial differential equations.

Thermal Cracking in Concrete at Early Ages - Proceedings of the International RILEM Symposium (Hardcover): R. Springenschmid Thermal Cracking in Concrete at Early Ages - Proceedings of the International RILEM Symposium (Hardcover)
R. Springenschmid
R11,138 Discovery Miles 111 380 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Restraint and intrinsic stresses in concrete at early ages are vitally important for concrete structures which must remain free of water-permeable cracks, such as water-retaining structures, tunnel linings, locks and dams. The development of hydration heat, stiffness and strength, also the degree of restraint and, especially for high-strength concrete, non-thermal effects, are decisive for sensitivity to cracking. Determining thses stresses in the laboratory and in construction components has led to a clearer understanding of how they develop and how to optimize mix design, temperature and curing conditions. New testing equipment has enabled the effects of all the important parameters to be qualified and more reliable models for predictiong restraint stresses to be developed.
Thermal Cracking in Conrete at Early Ages contains 56 contributions by leading international specialists presented at the RILEM Symposium held in October 1994 at the Technical University of Munich. It will be valuable for construction and site engineers, concrete technologists and scientists.

Replication of Chaos in Neural Networks, Economics and Physics (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2015): Marat Akhmet, Mehmet Onur Fen Replication of Chaos in Neural Networks, Economics and Physics (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2015)
Marat Akhmet, Mehmet Onur Fen
R4,452 R3,982 Discovery Miles 39 820 Save R470 (11%) Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book presents detailed descriptions of chaos for continuous-time systems. It is the first-ever book to consider chaos as an input for differential and hybrid equations. Chaotic sets and chaotic functions are used as inputs for systems with attractors: equilibrium points, cycles and tori. The findings strongly suggest that chaos theory can proceed from the theory of differential equations to a higher level than previously thought. The approach selected is conducive to the in-depth analysis of different types of chaos. The appearance of deterministic chaos in neural networks, economics and mechanical systems is discussed theoretically and supported by simulations. As such, the book offers a valuable resource for mathematicians, physicists, engineers and economists studying nonlinear chaotic dynamics.
