Fundamentals of Earthquake Engineering: From Source to Fragility, Second Edition combines aspects of engineering seismology, structural and geotechnical earthquake engineering to assemble the vital components required for a deep understanding of response of structures to earthquake ground motion, from the seismic source to the evaluation of actions and deformation required for design, and culminating with probabilistic fragility analysis that applies to individual as well as groups of buildings. Basic concepts for accounting for the effects of soil-structure interaction...

A presentation of the theory behind the Rayleigh-Ritz (R-R) method, as well as a discussion of the choice of admissible functions and the use of penalty methods, including recent developments such as using negative inertia and bi-penalty terms. While presenting the mathematical basis of the R-R method, the authors also give simple explanations and analogies to make it easier to understand. Examples include calculation of natural frequencies and critical loads of structures and structural components, such as beams, plates, shells and solids. MATLAB codes for some common problems are also...

Die Autoren vermitteln die wichtigsten Grundbegriffe der Mechanik, die Newtonschen Gesetze und aus ihnen abgeleiteten Erkenntnisse. Die Leser lernen die Begriffe Geschwindigkeit, Beschleunigung, Kraft, Energie, Impuls, Drehmoment, Drehimpuls, Leistung und Wirkung kennen. Die Bewegung eines einzelnen Massenpunkts wird an den klassischen Beispielen Pendel, Fall, Wurf und Planetenbewegung verdeutlicht. Fur Systeme mehrerer Massenpunkte gelten unter bestimmten Umstanden die Erhaltung von Energie, Impuls und Drehimpuls. Der starre Korper wird fur den Fall seiner Bewegung um eine feste Achse...

Due to the enormous impact of mechatronics systems, we encounter mechatronics and micromechatronic systems in our daily activities. Recent trends and novel technologies in engineering have increased the emphasis on integrated analysis, design, and control. This book examines motion devices (actuators, motors, transducers and sensors), power electronics, controllers, and electronic solutions with the main emphasis placed on high-performance mechatronic systems. Analysis, design, optimization, control, and implementation issues, as well as a variety of enabling mechatronic systems and...

This book bridges a gap between a rigorous mathematical approach to variational problems and the practical use of algorithms of structural optimization in engineering applications. The foundations of structural optimization are presented in sufficiently simple form as to make them available for practical use.
