This book provides a summary of the Class Rules and Guides for mooring systems so that they are easier to navigate and therefore implement.

Mooring systems have been evolving in design, analysis, operating management, and other areas to meet the challenges of safety and efficiency. To ensure these challenges are met, Class Rules and Guides are developed and updated to keep pace with the maritime industry. This has resulted in a complex library of Class Rules and Guides. Many requirements are repeated throughout these Class Rules and Guides making use and maintenance of Class...

This book represents a compilation of experience from a slate of experts involved in developing and deploying Bayesian Networks (BN) for corrosion management. The contributors describe how probability distributions can be developed for corroding systems and BN can be applied as an ideal framework to deal with corrosion risk. Corrosion can develop suddenly and grow rapidly after a long incubation period and take many non-uniform aspects, including pitting and stress corrosion cracking, that cannot be mitigated by simply bulking up the system. They also describe how complex engineering...

Die heutige Physik befindet sich in einer tiefen Krise: Die die Gravitation beschreibende allgemeine Relativitätstheorie passt so gar nicht mit dem Standardmodell der Teilchenphysik zusammen,  welches die anderen Wechselwirkungen beschreibt. In diesem Buch wird daher eine Alternative zur allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie entwickelt, welche die Gravitation in Analogie zum  Elektromagnetismus ohne jegliche Singularität beschreibt. Mit einer modifizierten Bewegungsgleichung besteht diese Theorie dann alle Tests der allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie, also insbesondere die gravitative...
