Development and Application of Discontinuous Modelling for Rock Engineering
The thirty papers published in this book represent the latest developments in Discontinuous Deformation Analysis (DDA). The Numerical Manifold Method (NMM) and other numerical methods and their applications are also covered, as are the theoretical contributions of 3D DDA, modelling and visualization of 3D joint systems, and high-order NMM. Applications of these advances include the stability of underground works, rock slopes and boreholes.
Explosion-Resistant Buildings
This excellent book highlights all aspects of the analysis and design of buildings subject to impact, explosion and fire. It is a definitive reference book and contains 10 chapters from a wide international prospective. Three-dimensional finite element and discrete element techniques are included. They are applied to buildings such as the World Trade Center (WTC Twin Towers) and the Federal Building in Oklahoma on the basis of the designers drawings, data and other information. Many small case studies are also included. The book has a comprehensive bibliography and a large appendix providing background analysis and computer subroutines of recently developed programs.
Seals: Rolling Thunder
THE EXPLOSIVE SPECIAL FORCES MILITARY ACTION SERIES They are America’s ultimate weapon in the war on terror. On the sea, in the air, or over land, they go where no one else will go, and do what no one else can do… Brannigan’s Brigands are billeted aboard the attack ship USS Daley in the Arabian Sea when they are handed a mission: patrol a sector of Afghanistan near the Iranian border. But the routine assignment puts them dangerously close to a large, mobile corps of Iranian Special Forces who have their own agenda. They plan to organize the scattered jihadists across the Middle East into a giant, cohesive army—starting with a rebel force already in the Afghanistan highlands. Now, Brannigan and his SEALs are targeted to be the first infidels to die in the terrorists’ quest to establish no less than a modern day Persian Empire...
Environmental Issues for Architecture
This primer for architects explores the basic physical principles and requirements of every aspect of passive and active controls in buildings. Avoiding needless jargon, Environmental Issues for Architecture supports an understanding of environmental systems in order to inform architectural design. With topics ranging from lighting, acoustics, thermal control, plumbing, fire protection and egress, to elevators and escalators, all of the latest technologies are supported. Designer-friendly, this rich resource gives just enough technical information for architects to design buildings that are efficient and comfortable.
High-speed Penetration Dynamics: Engineering Models And Methods
This important monograph is the first comprehensive compendium of engineering models used in high-speed penetration mechanics.The book consists of two parts. The first part (more than a quarter of the book's content) is in fact a handbook giving a very detailed summary of the engineering models used for the analysis of high-speed penetration of rigid projectiles into various media (concrete, metals, geological media). The second part of the book demonstrates the possibilities and efficiency of using approximate models for investigating traditional and nontraditional problems of penetration mechanics.Different chapters in the books are devoted to different classes of problems and can be read independently. Each chapter is self-contained, which includes a comprehensive literature survey of the topic, and carries a list of used notations. The bibliography includes more than 700 references.This monograph is a reliable and indispensable reference guide for anyone interested in using engineering models in high-speed penetration mechanics.
The Ruhela Chieftaincies
The collapse of Mughal authority in North India in the first half of the eighteenth century led to three serious contenders for control of the region and it resources: the Ruhelas, immigrants from Afghanistan, the Marathas, and the British. Through his scrutiny of the primary sources,Persian, Marathi, and English, the author provides a detailed account of the political and military fluctuations in this region.
