This book comprises the proceedings of 1st International Conference on Computational Advancement in Communication Circuits and Systems (ICCACCS 2014) organized by Narula Institute of Technology under the patronage of JIS group, affiliated to West Bengal University of Technology. The conference was supported by Technical Education Quality Improvement Program (TEQIP), New Delhi, India and had technical collaboration with IEEE Kolkata Section, along with publication partner by Springer. The book contains 62 refereed papers that aim to highlight new theoretical and experimental findings in the field of Electronics and communication engineering including interdisciplinary fields like Advanced Computing, Pattern Recognition and Analysis, Signal and Image Processing. The proceedings cover the principles, techniques and applications in microwave & devices, communication & networking, signal & image processing, and computations & mathematics & control. The proceedings reflect the conference's emphasis on strong methodological approaches and focus on applications within the domain of Computational Advancement in Communication Circuits and Systems. The content also emphasizes the emerging technologies in the Electronics and Communication field together in close examinations of practices, problems and trends.

The editors invited engineers, who are engaged in not only advanced level geotechnical analyses but also in consulting practice, to write various chapters of this text. These chapters show that a blend of engineering judgement and advanced principles of engineering mechanics may be used to resolve many complex geotechnical engineering problems. It is hoped that these may inspire the geotechnical engineering practice to make more extensive use of them in future. The complex geometrical configurations as well as enormously difficult materials which exhibit strongly path dependent mechanical behaviour have required the development of the advanced computer-based geotechnical analyses presented in this book. A non-linear transient finite element formulation is developed for the complex interaction between fluid and solid skeleton for both static and dynamic loading. Construction methods (for example: compaction, excavation, retaining walls or pile driving) which influence the mechanical behaviour of geotechnical structures are described with modifications to the finite element formulation. The use of the finite layer approach is rehearsed for situations where soil properties do not vary

This volume of the series has been specifically designed to show engineering applications of some of these codes together with sufficient exposition of the theoretical background so that a prospective code developer or a user can gain the necessary insight into the current status of BEM.

Although the application boundary element method (BEM) has a long history in computational fluid dynamics which dates back to the late 1950s and early 1960s, its developments as a problem-solving tool for general problems of fluid dynamics did not start until recently. Taking as its theme time dependent and time-harmonic problems in engineering, this volume demonstrates that boundary element methods are both elegant and efficient in their application to such problems and therefore worthy of considerable development. The text contains a collection of reviews comprising state-of-the-art applications of BEM to nonlinear problems. Subjects covered include: Helmholtz and Poincare potential-vorticity decompositions for the analysis of unsteady compressible viscous flows; advanced boundary element methods for steady incompressible thermoviscous flow; a time-dependent incompressible viscous BEM for moderate Reynolds numbers; a boundary integral formulation in primitive variables for unsteady viscous flows; Newtonian and non-Newtonian unsteady flow problems; a general theory of unsteady compressible potential flows with applications to airplanes and rotors; recent advances in solution metho
