Seismic Vulnerability Assessment and Retrofitting Strategies for Masonry Infilled Frame Building by Andre Filipe Furtado
English | EPUB (True) | 2023 | 365 Pages | ISBN : 3031203712 | 187.8 MB

This book reports on a comprehensive experimental characterization of the material, mechanical and dynamic properties of masonry infill walls. It analyses the critical parameters affecting their out-of-plane seismic behavior, including the effects of the panel support conditions, gravity load, and previous damage. Further, it offers an extensive review of infill masonry strengthening strategies and reports on the experimental assessment of various textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) strengthening solutions. It also presents the development, implementation and calibration of a numerical model to simulate the infill panels’ seismic behavior, with the corresponding findings of various tests to assess the seismic vulnerability of an infilled RC structure. All in all, this outstanding PhD thesis offers a comprehensive review of masonry infill walls, and a timely overview of numerical and experimental methods for testing and preventing the out-of-plane seismic collapse of RC buildings.

System Dynamics and Mechanical Vibrations: An Introduction

System Dynamics and Mechanical Vibrations: An Introduction by Dietmar Findeisen
English | PDF | 2000 | 399 Pages | ISBN : 3540671447 | 34.9 MB

The Aim ofthe Book. This book is concerned with the subjects of vibrations and system dynamics on an integrated basis. Design engineers find themselves confronted with demands made on machin­ ery, structures and dynamic systems which are increasing at such a rate that dy­ namic performance requirements are always rising. Hence, advances in analysis and design techniques have to keep pace with recent developments in strong lightweight materials, more extensive knowledge of materials properties and structural loading. Whereas the excitation applied to structures is always increas­ ing, the machine mass and damping is reduced. Consequently, unwanted vibra­ tions can have very serious effects on dynamic systems.

Atmospheric Re-Entry Vehicle Mechanics

Atmospheric Re-Entry Vehicle Mechanics by Patrick Gallais
English | PDF | 2007 | 65 Pages | ISBN : 3540736468 | 20.2 MB

Ballistic reentry vehicles, capsules and planetary probes are the fastest human designed objects to fly through planet’s atmospheres. With velocities over Mach 20, RV’s have to dissipate a huge kinetic energy, and environment may exceed 100 g’s at center of mass, 100 bars stagnation pressure and 100 MW/m² on nosetip. Design of thermal protection system is a formidable material engineering problem. Vehicle conception covers large discipline realms, among which Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics are essential as they only can provide necessary aeroshell shape, mass and inertia properties and tolerances to achieve adequate environment and trajectory performance. Capsules and probes have different missions and entry conditions but approaches and methods are identical. Based on a long engineering experience, this book offers a comprehensive and state of the art analysis of aerodynamic and flight mechanic entry topics. In addition, it provides a large set of application exercises and solutions. It is addressed to university and engineering school students, as well as engineers in aerospace companies and government agencies, or simply curious readers.

Mechanical Vibration: Where Do We Stand?

Mechanical Vibration: Where Do We Stand? by Isaac Elishakoff
English | PDF(True) | 2007 | 487 Pages | ISBN : 3211685863 | 21.6 MB

''There is always a delightful sense of movement, vibration and life"". Theodore Robinson (1852-1896) "/ have never solved a major mechanical or interpretive problem at the keyboard. I have always solved it in my mind". Jorge Bolet (1914-1990) The idea of this book stems from the realization that scientists, not unlike laymen, should occasionally interrupt their regular work and reflect on the past, to see both the accomplishments and the drawbacks, so as to be able to plan for future research in the "proper" perspective. But an inquisitive reader may ask: Can one really document in any field, let alone mechanical vibrations (whose very name signifies change), ''where do we stand"? Did not a Greek philosopher famously claim that one cannot enter a river twice? Another, on an even more sophisticated note, added that actually it is impossible to enter a river even once!

Uncertain Logics, Variables and Systems by Zdzislaw Bubnicki
English | PDF | 2002 | 140 Pages | ISBN : 3540432353 | 3.8 MB

The ideas of uncertain variables based on uncertain logics have been introduced and developed for a wide class of uncertain systems. The purpose of this mo- graph is to present basic concepts, definitions and results concerning the uncertain variables and their applications to analysis and decision problems in uncertain systems described by traditional mathematical models and by knowledge rep- sentations. I hope that the book can be useful for graduate students, researchers and all readers working in the field of control and information science. Especially for those interested in the problems of uncertain decision support systems and unc- tain control systems. I wish to express my gratitude to my co-workers from the Institute of Control and Systems Engineering of Wroclaw University of Technology, who assisted in the preparation of the manuscript. My special thanks go to Dr L.Siwek for the valuable remarks and for his work concerning the formatting of the text.

Several consistent solutions for cooperative system control have recently been identified by the authors of the current monograph. This was achieved by solving three separate tasks that are essential for solving the problem of cooperative manipulation as a whole. The first task is related to the understanding of the physical nature of cooperative manipulation and finding a way for a sufficiently exact characterization of cooperative system statics, kinematics and dynamics. After successfully completing this task, in the frame of the second task, the problem of coordinated motion of the cooperative system is solved. Finally, as a solution to the third task, the control laws of cooperative manipulation are synthesized.
