Pile Design and Construction Practice By M. J Tomlinson, John Woodward
2007 | 566 Pages | ISBN: 0415385822 | PDF | 12 MB
This international handbook is essential for geotechnical engineers and engineering geologists responsible for designing and constructing piled foundations. It explains general principles and practice and details current types of pile, piling equipment and methods. It includes calculations of the resistance of piles to compressive loads, pile groups under compressive loading, piled foundations for resisting uplift and lateral loading and the structural design of piles and pile groups. Marine structures, miscellaneous problems (including machinery foundations, underpinning, mining subsidence areas, contracts and frozen ground), durability of piled foundations, ground investigations, and pile testing are also covered. It introduces the 2005 version of Eurocode7, BS 8004 and other codes, and refers to BS 6349 on maritime structures, and new forms of civil engineering contracts suitable for piling projects. It includes numerous worked examples to the codes, many based on actual problems. It also gives very comprehensive information for students.
Physics: An Illustrated Guide to Science By Diagram Group
2006 | 209 Pages | ISBN: 081606167X | PDF | 9 MB
Physics: An Illustrated Guide to Science is one of eight volumes of ''Facts On File's'' new ''Science Visual Resources'' set. Containing five sections, a comprehensive glossary, a Web site guide, and an index, ''Biology'' is an ideal learning tool for students and teachers of science. Full-color diagrams, graphs, charts, and maps on every page illustrate the essential elements of the subject, while parallel text provides key definitions and step-by-step explanations. The five sections include: ''Forces'' - provides an overview of Newton's laws of motion and gravity. It also describes the physics of simple machines and explains the distinction between the concepts of heat and work; ''Energy'' - examines the concept of energy in more detail. This section covers thermal conduction, radiation, and convection, as well as describes changes in energy type. The industrial production of energy as well as possible sources of renewable energy are also described here; ''Waves, Sound, and Light'' - is concerned with the wave motion of light and sound energy. The principles of superposition, interference, diffraction, polarization, and reflection are covered in this section. There is also a survey of lenses and optical instruments; and ''Electricity'' - details the basic concepts of electrical energy and magnetism. Subjects covered in this section include induction, electrostatics, electric current, electromotive force, electrolysis, transformers, and electric motors. It also includes: ''Electronics'' - is an overview of the practical issues involved in the design of devices that control the flow of electrons or other charged particles. It includes a comprehensive guide to circuit symbols, a look at microprocessors, and a thorough grounding in circuit logic.
Karen Lemke, "Physical Geography Lab Manual"
English | 2008 | ISBN: 0077276035 | PDF | pages: 312 | 12.4 mb
Lemke et al: Physical Geography Laboratory Manual is a comprehensive introductory manual for students without a previous science background. An abundant set of 21 exercises assures that every professor will find a complete set of preferred labs for a semester-long course. Lemke/Ritter/Heywood wrote this lab manual in order to provide equal coverage of the four spheres of the environment-the atmosphere biosphere hydrosphere and lithosphere. The lab manual was written independent of any specific textbook and will work with available physical geography texts.
Alexander Guttridge, "Photoassociation of Ultracold CsYb Molecules and Determination of Interspecies Scattering Lengths"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 3030212009 | PDF | pages: 206 | 8.5 mb
This thesis lays the groundwork for producing a new class of ultracold molecule by associating an alkali-metal atom and a closed-shell alkaline-earth-like atom, specifically Cs and Yb. Such molecules exhibit both a magnetic dipole moment and an electric dipole moment in their ground state. This extra degree of freedom opens up new avenues of research including the study of exotic states of matter, the shielding of molecular collisions and the simulation of lattice spin models.
Ruth Hagengruber, Uwe Riss, "Philosophy, Computing and Information Science"
English | 2015 | pages: 291 | ISBN: 1848935080 | PDF | 1,7 mb
Over the last four decades computers and the internet have become an intrinsic part of all our lives, but this speed of development has left related philosophical enquiry behind. Featuring the work of computer scientists and philosophers, these essays provide an overview of an exciting new area of philosophy that is still taking shape.
Syraya Chin-Mu Yang, Kok Yong Lee, Hiroakira Ono, "Philosophical Logic: Current Trends in Asia"
English | 2017 | pages: 308 | ISBN: 9811063540 | PDF | 4,2 mb
This volume brings together a group of logic-minded philosophers and philosophically oriented logicians, mainly from Asia, to address a variety of logical and philosophical topics of current interest, offering a representative cross-section of the philosophical logic landscape in early 21st-century Asia. It surveys a variety of fields, including modal logic, epistemic logic, formal semantics, decidability and mereology.

Parameter Sensitivity in Nonlinear Mechanics: Theory and Finite Element Computations By Michael Kleiber
1997 | 411 Pages | ISBN: 0471968544 | PDF | 21 MB
There are various methods for the analysis and design of bodies subject to static and dynamic loadings in structural and solid mechanics. Sensitivity analysis is concerned with the relationship between parameters, describing the structure under consideration and the function describing the response of that structure under loading conditions. This book addresses the finite element computational techniques typical of sensitivity analysis for solid mechanics systems with any nonlinearity. It is an attempt to combine theoretical modelling techniques with effective computer implementation: besides the theory many suitable finite element codes have been developed by the authors and used for computing examples discussed in the text.
