Many important advances in designing high-performance structures have occurred over the last several years. Structural engineers need an authoritative source of information that thoroughly and concisely covers the foundational principles of the field. Comprising chapters selected from the second edition of the best-selling Handbook of Structural Engineering, this book provides a tightly focused, economical guide to the theoretical, practical, and computational aspects of structural design. Expert contributors discuss a wide variety of structures, including steel, aluminum, timber, and...

Culled from the pages of CRC's highly successful, best-selling The Circuits and Filters Handbook, Second Edition, Nonlinear and Distributed Circuits presents a sharply focused, comprehensive review of the fundamental theory behind professional applications of these complex circuits. It supplies a concise, convenient reference to the key concepts, models, and equations necessary to analyze, design, and predict the behavior of nonlinear and distributed circuits, illustrated by frequent examples.
Edited by a distinguished authority, this book emphasizes the theoretical concepts underlying...

This book provides an in-depth look at the behavior, design, and construction of offshore structures. It describes the behavior of cylindrical members and suggests appropriate software, written by the contributors, to determine everything from loading up to the ultimate load, including post-buckling and cyclic inelasticity.

To document the world's diversity of species and reconstruct the tree of life we need to undertake some simple but mountainous tasks. Most importantly, we need to tackle species rich groups. We need to collect, name, and classify them, and then position them on the tree of life. We need to do this systematically across all groups of organisms and because of the biodiversity crisis we need to do it quickly. With contributions from key systematic and taxonomic researchers, Reconstructing the Tree of Life: Taxonomy and Systematics of Species Rich Taxa outlines the core of the problem and...

Electrical, communication, transportation, computer, and neural networks are special kinds of nets. Designing these networks demands sophisticated mathematical models for their analysis. This book is the first to present a unified, comprehensive, and up-to-date treatment of net theory. It brings together elements of abstract graph theory and circuit analysis to network problems.

The solutions to problems in the text "Broadband Matching: Theory and Implementation" are presented in this book. It contains detailed solutions to most problems in the text except some proofs of identities and theorems and the verification of solutions. Many of the design problems are given in numerical details for the benefit of those who wish to perform the design themselves.

This manual presents the solutions to problems in the two-volume text "Linear Networks and Systems: Algorithms and Computer-Aided Implementations". It contains solutions to every problem in the text except a few proofs of identities and the verification of solutions. The solutions to the problems for the advanced topics in the last two chapters on analytic functions of a matrix are given in detail for the benefit of those who wish to study the material themselves.

"This book is a welcome and timely addition to a long list of books on passive network synthesis, some of which are out of print. It is a comprehensive coverage of the subject of impedance matching networks there are plenty of excellent illustrative examples so that the reader should have no difficulty in applying the algorithms to similar situations this is an excellent book on passive network design for everyday use. I recommend it to all RF circuit designers, young and old."
