This book provides an up-to-date presentation of a broad range of contemporary problems in inverse scattering involving acoustic, elastic and electromagnetic waves.
The present volume provides a comprehensive understanding of the modern criteria, models and methods of analysis of arch dams, for normal operation conditions and under exceptional loads.
This book is an account on the thermomechanical behaviour of granular and porous materials and deals with experiments, theoretical deduction of macroscale equations by means of averaging from microscale properties, embedding the macroscopic description into a continuum-thermodynamical and statistical context and analysis of solutions of macroscopic models by numerical techniques.
Characterisation: this volume presents the latest contribution to the theory and practice of modern robotics given by the world recognised scientists from Australia, Canada, Europe, Japan and USA.
The principal objective of this book is to relate the random distributions of defects and material strength on the microscopic scale with the deformation and residual strength of materials on the macroscopic scale.
This textbook gives a concise survey of constitutive and structural modeling for high temperature creep, damage, low - cycle fatigue and other inelastic conditions.
Recent advances in boundary-layer theory have shown how modern analytical and computational techniques can and should be combined to deepen the understanding of high Reynolds number flows and to design effective calculation strategies.
The volume aims at giving a comprehensive and up-to-date view of modern methods of analytical mechanics (general equations, invariant objects, stability and bifurcations) and their applications (rigid body dynamics, celestial mechanics, multibody systems etc.
The aim of this book is to provide, both the non-specialist and the specialist in EHD, with the ability to extract meaningful information from his/her experimental data and acquire a good physical understanding, by applying the ideas presented in this book.
This volume contains the basic concepts of modern robotics, basic definitions, systematics of robots in industry, service, medicine and underwater activity.
This is an up-to-date review of recent advances in the study of two-phase flows, with focus on gas-liquid flows, liquid-liquid flows, and particle transport in turbulent flows.
This work gives for the first time an interdisciplinary and deep approach to the mathematical modelling of rubber-like materials considering both the molecular and phenomenological point of views.
The book outlines special approaches using singular and non-singular, multi-domain and meshless BEM formulations, hybrid- and reciprocity-based FEM for the solution of linear and non-linear problems of solid and fluid mechanics and for the acoustic fluid-structure interaction.
Marangoni (1878), provided a wealth of detailed information on the effects of variations of the potential energy of liquid surfaces and, in particular, flow arising from variations in temperature and surfactant composition.
Mechanics, Motion Control, Sensing and Programming, Synthesis and Design, Legged Locomotion and Biomechanical Aspects of Robots and Manipulators - world view of the state of the art.
This book collects recent theoretical developments in the area of material instability in elastic and plastic solids along with related analytical and numerical methods and applications.
The term "e;turbulence"e; is used for a large variety of dynamical phenomena of fluids in motion whenever the details of the flow appear to be random and average properties are of primary interest.
A survey of asymptotic methods in fluid mechanics and applications is given including high Reynolds number flows (interacting boundary layers, marginal separation, turbulence asymptotics) and low Reynolds number flows as an example of hybrid methods, waves as an example of exponential asymptotics and multiple scales methods in meteorology.
The articles in the book treat flow instability and transition starting with classical material dealt with in an innovative and rigorous way, some newer physical mechanisms explained for the first time and finally with the very complex topic of bombustion and two-phase flow instabilities.
The book focuses on the physical and mathematical foundations of model-based turbulence control: reduced-order modelling and control design in simulations and experiments.
