This book presents the basic methods of regular perturbation theory of Hamiltonian systems, including KAM-theory, splitting of asymptotic manifolds, the separatrix map, averaging, anti-integrable limit, etc. in a readable way. Despite its small size, it discusses all main aspects of the basic modern theory of perturbed Hamiltonian systems and...
This volume is based on a series of lectures on matrix calculus and tensor calculus, and their applications, given under the sponsorship of the Engineering, Science, and Management War Training (ESMWT) program, from August 1942 to March 1943. The group taking the course included a considerable number of outstanding research engineers and directors...
The objectives of this book are twofold: (1) for the student, to show how the
fundamental principles underlying the behavior of fluids (with emphasis on
one-dimensional macroscopic balances) can be applied in an organized and
systematic manner to the solution of practical engineering problems, and (2)
for the practicing engineer, to...

In Presenting to Win: Persuading Your Audience Every Time, the world's #1 presentation consultant shows how to connect with even the toughest, most high-level audiences--and move them to action. Jerry Weissman shows presenters of all kinds how to dump those PowerPoint templates once and for all--and learn to...
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials have developed into economically and structurally viable construction materials for buildings and bridges over the last 20 years. FRP composite materials used in structural engineering typically consist of glass, carbon, or aramid fibers encased in a matrix of epoxy, polyester, vinylester, or...
This book develops a conception of science as a multi-dimensional practice, which includes experimental action and production, conceptual-theoretical interpretation, and formal-mathematical work. On this basis, it addresses the topical issue of scientific realism and expounds a detailed, referentially realist account of the natural sciences....
This book discusses various aspects of percolation mechanics. It starts with the driving forces and driving modes and then examines in detail the steady state percolation of single-phase incompressible fluids, percolation law of natural gas and percolation of non-Newtonian fluids. Progressing from simple to complex concepts, it also...
Mechanics and Model-Based Control of Advanced Engineering Systems collects 32 contributions presented at the International Workshop on Advanced Dynamics and Model Based Control of Structures and Machines, which took place in St. Petersburg, Russia in July 2012. The workshop continued a series of international workshops, which started with a...
This book uses a novel concept to teach the finite element method, applying it to solid mechanics. This major conceptual shift takes away lengthy theoretical derivations in the face-to-face interactions with students and focuses on the summary of key equations and concepts; and to practice these on well-chosen example problems.
In the high energy gas flows, associating high velocities and high temperatures, physical and chemical processes such as molecular vibrational excitation, dissociation, ionisation or various reactions take palce and deeply influence the structure of the flows. The characteristic times of these processes have the same order of magnitude as...
