Structural Integrity Cases in Mechanical and Civil Engineering by Shahrum Abdullah
English | EPUB | 2022 | 346 Pages | ISBN : 3030856453 | 71.1 MB
This book covers most of the damage mechanism in the scope of mechanical engineering and civil engineering. The failure pattern of various materials and structures is mainly discussed. The sub-topics covers fatigue damage, fatigue crack initiation and propagation, life prediction techniques, computational fracture mechanics, dynamic fracture, damage mechanics and assessment, non-destructive test (NDT), concrete failure assessment, failure on soil structures, structural durability and reliability, structural health monitoring, construction damage recovery, and any relevant topics related to failure analysis.
Strategic Urban Health Communication by Charles C. Okigbo
English | PDF | 2014 | 234 Pages | ISBN : 146149334X | 2.9 MB
People are bombarded with messages continuously and sorting through them constantly. In this milieu, critical ideas about health promotion and illness prevention are forced to compete with distracting, conflicting, even contradictory information. To get vital messages through, communication must be effective, targeted, artful-in a word, strategic.

Stopped Random Walks: Limit Theorems and Applications by Allan Gut
English | PDF(True) | 2009 | 267 Pages | ISBN : 0387878343 | 3.5 MB
Classical probability theory provides information about random walks after a fixed number of steps. For applications, however, it is more natural to consider random walks evaluated after a random number of steps. Stopped Random Walks: Limit Theorems and Applications shows how this theory can be used to prove limit theorems for renewal counting processes, first passage time processes, and certain two-dimensional random walks, as well as how these results may be used in a variety of applications.
Stochastic Adaptive Search for Global Optimization by Zelda B. Zabinsky
English | PDF | 2003 | 236 Pages | ISBN : 140207526X | 20.4 MB
The field of global optimization has been developing at a rapid pace. There is a journal devoted to the topic, as well as many publications and notable books discussing various aspects of global optimization. This book is intended to complement these other publications with a focus on stochastic methods for global optimization. Stochastic methods, such as simulated annealing and genetic algo rithms, are gaining in popularity among practitioners and engineers be they are relatively easy to program on a computer and may be cause applied to a broad class of global optimization problems.
