This book begins with the basic principles of circuits, derives their analytic properties in both the time and frequency domains, and states and proves the two important theorems. It then develops an algorithmic method to design common and uncommon types of circuits, such as prototype filters, lumped delay lines, constant phase difference...
This is the most systematic, comprehensive and up-to-date book on the theoretical analysis of piezoelectric devices. It is a natural continuation of the author s two previous books: An Introduction to the Theory of Piezoelectricity (Springer, 2005) and The Mechanics of Piezoelectric Structures (World Scientific, 2006). Based on the linear,...
Securitisation deals have come to the fore during recent years owing to the
challenges involved in their assessment and their role in the recent credit crises.
These deals are created by the pooling of assets and the tranching of liabilities. The
latter is backed by collateral pools. Tranching makes it possible to create liabilities...
