The contents of this brief Lecture Note are devoted to modeling, simulations, and applications with the aim of proposing a unified multiscale approach accounting for the physics and the psychology of people in crowds.
Engineering Dynamics Course Companion, Part 2: Rigid Bodies: Kinematics and Kinetics is a supplemental textbook intended to assist students, especially visual learners, in their approach to Sophomore-level Engineering Dynamics.
The Brusselator is a mathematical model for autocatalytic reaction, which was proposed by Ilya Prigogine and his collaborators at the Universite Libre de Bruxelles.

This book presents classical relativistic mechanics and electrodynamics in the Feynman-Stueckelberg event-oriented framework formalized by Horwitz and Piron.
The inherent complex dynamics of a parametrically excited pendulum is of great interest in nonlinear dynamics, which can help one better understand the complex world.
Engineering Dynamics is an introductory textbook covering the kinematics and dynamics of particles, systems of particles, and kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies.
This book is the standard text book for elastoplasticity/viscoplasticity which is explained comprehensively covering the rate-independent to -dependent finite deformations of metals, soils, polymers, crystal plasticity, etc.
Reveals how the pyramids of Egypt were sophisticated generators of clean energy*; Explains how the pyramids harmonized seismic energy, which enabled the harvesting of electricity and the mitigation of earthquakes*; Shares recent cutting-edge research on earthquake lights, acoustic frequency measurements and energy concentration within the Great Pyramid, the shafts of the Queen's Chamber, the scorch marks that support the King's Chamber explosion hypothesis, and the significance of the large void above the Grand Gallery*; Includes technical appendices written by experts and top researchersSharing extensive new evidence and cutting-edge research that the Great Pyramid at Giza was built as an energy-harvesting machine, Christopher Dunn details how the ancient Egyptians generated clean power for their civilization and reveals how the pyramid builders and the great inventor Nikola Tesla drew from the same universal knowledge.
This text comprehensively discusses the modeling of photovoltaic (PV) modules, PV array interconnections, multi-level inverters, distributed maximum power point tracking techniques, and static and dynamic PV array reconfiguration techniques.
This volume focuses on the broad scope of systems engineering and recent energy technology developments as they relate to the oil and gas industry, which remains a lifeline to communities around the world.
