This book summarizes the main methods of experimental stress analysis and examines their application to various states of stress of major technical interest, highlighting aspects not always covered in the classic literature. It is explained how experimental stress analysis assists in the verification and completion of analytical and numerical models, the development of phenomenological theories, the measurement and control of system parameters under operating conditions, and identification of causes of failure or malfunction. Cases addressed include measurement of the state of stress in models, measurement of actual loads on structures, verification of stress states in circumstances of complex numerical modeling, assessment of stress-related material damage, and reliability analysis of artifacts (e.g. prostheses) that interact with biological systems. The book will serve graduate students and professionals as a valuable tool for finding solutions when analytical solutions do not exist.

An absorbing bildungsroman that tells the story of three sisters amidst France's rapid transformation in the '70s Three sisters were born into a modest Catholic family in Aix-en-Provence. Sabine, the eldest, dreams of an artist's life in Paris; Helene, the middle girl, grows up divided between the bourgeois environment of Neuilly-sur-Seine and the simple life led by her parents; Mariette, the youngest, learns the secrets and silences of a dazzling and crazy world. In 1970, French society is changing. Women have emancipated themselves whilst men have lost their bearings, and the three sisters, each in their own way, find ways to live a life of their own-a strong life, far from the morality, education, and the religion of their childhood. This family chronicle, which takes us from the May 1968 protests to the 1981 elections, is as much a tender and tragic stroll through the 20th century as it is the chronicle of an era, where consciousnesses are awakening to the upheaval of the world, and heralding the chaos to come.

Random process analysis (RPA) is used as a mathematical model in physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, information theory, economics, environmental science, and many other disciplines. Over time, it has become more and more important for the provision of computer code and data sets. This book presents the key concepts, theory, and computer code written in R, helping readers with limited initial knowledge of random processes to become confident in their understanding and application of these principles in their own research. Consistent with modern trends in university education, the authors make readers active learners with hands-on computer experiments in R code directing them through RPA methods and helping them understand the underlying logic. Each subject is illustrated with real data collected in experiments performed by the authors or taken from key literature. As a result, the reader can promptly apply the analysis to their own data, making this book an invaluable resource for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as professionals, in physics, engineering, biophysical and environmental sciences, economics, and social sciences.

The narrator of this story remembers his childhood during World War II, first in Milan and then in the countryside, where he was evacuated along with other children. Schoolhouse lessons, brotherly complicity, the first bombings, summer camp, his relationship with his father, and the discovery of love are all recreated in a series of lively vignettes. The harshness of war and the separation of a family are juxtaposed with the awakening of senses and the intuition of pleasures yet to be discovered, but more importantly to the belief in life and the future."" "El narrador de esta historia rememora su infancia durante la segunda guerra mundial, primero en Milan y despues en el campo, al cual es evacuado junto a otros ninos. Las clases, la complicidad entre hermanos, los primeros bombardeos, los campamentos de verano, la relacion con su padre, y el descubrimiento del amor son recreados en una serie de vivas estampas. Los rigores de la guerra y la separacion de la familia se contraponen al despertar de los sentidos, a la leve intuicion de los placeres que todavia le estan vedados y, en definitiva, a la fe en la vida y en el futuro.
