Engineering: general

The book contains 31 papers on different fields of application and the problems of modelling and organizing data in structures, the processing techniques of GIS data for queries to the system and the so-called Dynamic GIS have been reported in detail.

The volume presents a comprehensive overview of rotation effects on fluid behavior, emphasizing non-linear processes.

Numerical application of Plasticity to Geomechanics is an area of research that has grown rapidly since its origins in the late 1960s.

In several applications it is well recognized that all materials, on some scale, cannot be regarded as perfect continua.

Der diesjährigen Tagung des Salzburger Geomechanik-Kreises haben wir den Namen Ludwig-Föppl-Kolloquium gegeben; wir wollten damit diesen Pionier der Geomechanik und Mitbegründer unserer Kolloquien aus Anlaß seines 80.

Die Anwendung der Lehren der Mechanik auf konkrete Aufgaben bereitet den Studierenden erfahnmgsgemäß zumeist beträchtliche Schwierigkeiten, die nur durch die selbständige Bearbeitung von Bei­ spielen an Hand einer Aufgabensammlung überwunden werden können.

The book addresses all major aspects to be considered for the design and operation of aircrafts within the entire transportation chain.

Travelling wave processes and wave motion are of great importance in many areas of mechanics, and nonlinearity also plays a decisive role there.

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.

This book presents, as a single package, three semingly contradictory and often competitive approaches to deal with ever present uncertainty in science and engineering.

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 book presents a complete and comprehensive analysis of the behaviour of granular materials including the description of experimental results, the different ways to define the global behaviour from local phenomena at the particle scale, the various modellings which can be used for a D.

The volume collects papers illustrating the work done within a research project on structural identification and diagnostics.

This book is an introduction to terrestial magnetohydrodynamics.

The work contains the results of the Sixth International Conference on Advanced Manufacturing Systems and Technology - AMST'02, which was held in Udine in June 2002.

This book deals with the safety assessment of structures and structural components, possibly operating beyond the elastic limits under variable repeated thermo-mechanical loads.

Socially enhanced Services Computing deals with a novel and exciting new field at the intersection between Social Computing, Service-oriented Computing, Crowd Computing, and Cloud Computing.
