Critical Assessment of Slope Stability Analysis
ISBN: 9783844310702 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Failures of mass movements often result in extensive property damage and loss of human life. It is recognised that ensuring the stability of both natural and man-made slopes continues to be a fundamental issue in geotechnical engineering. There is no universally accepted method for the prevention or correction of landslides. The comparative performance of the various analyses has been carried out successfully using case studies. A visco-plastic flow model has been proposed to estimate lateral forces on piles used for slope stabilisation. Slope stabilisation due to the presence of a...

Flow Around Twin Cylinders
ISBN: 9783844308143 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Multiple slender structures subjected to a fluid flow are widely seen in engineering. Flow interference between the structures leads to a very high fluctuation of forces on the structures, structural vibrations, acoustic noise, or resonance, which in some cases can trigger failure, jeopardizing the residents lives. In engineering, fluid-induced forces, flow structures and vortex shedding frequencies are the major factors to consider in the design of structures. The knowledge of flow around two fluid-dynamically interfering cylinders is insightful for understanding the flow around more...

Reinforced Concrete Slabs Under Impact Loading
ISBN: 9783843374033 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many older structures were designed for static loads but more recently there has been a growing awareness that some must be designed to resist both dynamic impact and static loads. An accidental impact load can be caused by mishaps in industry as well as accidents stemming from transportation or man-made disasters. Structural components can be subjected to a range of deliberate impact loads such as military activity or terrorist attacks. A large proportion of the surfaces of concrete structures are covered by reinforced concrete slabs. Slabs are often slender elements, which means...

Ceramic Thermal Barrier Coatings
ISBN: 9783844315936 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Gas turbine engines operate under the conditions of high temperature and stresses, and the engine components are also subjected to corrosion, oxidation and abrasion. Ceramic Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) when deposited onto the hot sections of turbine engines improve their performance. TBCs have porosity by design, the architecture of which depends on the processing route. The presence of porosity gives rise to its low thermal conductivity and high strain tolerance. The porosity and its architecture can be significantly affected in service, thus changing the properties of the TBC and hence...

Criticality Spare Parts Inventory Management
ISBN: 9783845402642 / Angielski / Miękka / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Lightweight Techniques for Automatic Software Fault Localization
ISBN: 9783844305289 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Current approaches to automatic software fault localization can be classified as either (1) statistics-based approaches, or (2) reasoning approaches. This distinction is based on the required amount of knowledge about the programs internal component structure and behavior. Statistics-based fault localization techniques such as Spectrum-based Fault Localization (SFL) use abstraction of program traces (also known as program spectra) to find a statistical relationship between source code locations and observed failures. Although SFLs modeling costs and computational complexity are ...
