Advanced Fracture Mechanics
ISBN: 9780195035322 / Angielski / Twarda / 1985 / 584 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book presents an extensive, unified, and up-to-date approach to the still developing subject of fracture mechanics from an applied mechanics perspective. Progressing from the simple to the more advanced topics, it goes beyond the well developed area of linear elastic fracture mechanics to consider the dynamic and elastic-plastic regimes, and in doing so, extends the subject into a broader range of realistic engineering applications.

Forces of Production: A Social History of Industrial Automation
ISBN: 9780195040463 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 427 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Focusing on the postwar automation of the American metal-working industry--the heart of the modern industrial economy--this is a provocative study of how automation has assumed a critical role in America. David Noble argues that industrial automation--more than merely a technological advance--is a social process that reflects very real divisions and pressures within our society. The book explains how technology is often spurred and shaped by the military, corporations, universities, and other mighty institutions. Using detailed case studies, Noble also demonstrates how engineering design is...

Here is a basic introduction to the principles of industrial design and their application in all phases of planning and production. It is intended to offer experienced instruction, based on scientific knowledge, in place of the intuitive approach to the field often encountered in engineering practice and education. The book presents basic principles and constitutes an exposition of these fundamental axioms and their application. The emphasis is on identifying problems in a clear, scientific manner, so that the correct solution may be arrived at regardless of the mathematical treatment...

Metal Forming and the Finite-Element Method
ISBN: 9780195044027 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 402 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The application of computer-aided design and manufacturing techniques is becoming essential in modern metal-forming technology. Thus process modeling for the determination of deformation mechanics has been a major concern in research . In light of these developments, the finite element method--a technique by which an object is decomposed into pieces and treated as isolated, interacting sections--has steadily assumed increased importance. This volume addresses advances in modern metal-forming technology, computer-aided design and engineering, and the finite element method.

The Harvest of Sorrow: Soviet Collectivization and the Terror-Famine
ISBN: 9780195051803 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 430 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Harvest of Sorrow is the first full history of one of the most horrendous human tragedies of the 20th century. Between 1929 and 1932 the Soviet Communist Party struck a double blow at the Russian peasantry: dekulakization, the dispossession and deportation of millions of peasant families, and collectivization, the abolition of private ownership of land and the concentration of the remaining peasants in party-controlled "collective" farms. This was followed in 1932-33 by a "terror-famine," inflicted by the State on the collectivized peasants of the Ukraine and certain other areas...

The Irony of Regulatory Reform
ISBN: 9780195054453 / Angielski / Twarda / 1988 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Deregulation was a political buzzword of the early 1980's. The Reagan Administration came to power on a platform dedicated to getting government "off the backs of the people." Deregulation promised to lower inflation, raise productivity, and reverse the sagging fortunes of American industry. And proponents declared deregulation morally right because it constituted a rollback of the arbitrary power of the state in favor of individual initiative and liberty. But the actual politics of deregulation, including the momentous breakup of AT&T, had already turned out to be far more complex than this...

Behavior, Society, and Nuclear War: Volume I
ISBN: 9780195057669 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. All people wish to avoid nuclear war, but this fact provides little guidance for policy. One reason is a lack of understanding of how a nuclear war might come about or how one could be prevented; much of what is offered as expert knowledge cannot be defended as more than educated opinion. Behavior, Society, and Nuclear War assesses current knowledge to create a basis for new intellectual approaches to the subject of international security that are conceptually rigorous, theoretically eclectic, and methodologically self-conscious. Leading scholars review specific behavioral and social...

ISBN: 9780195057683 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the last year the world has witnessed changes in East-West relations that would have been unthinkable only a short time ago. The Berlin Wall has crumbled, Eastern Europe has thrown out its authoritarian leaders, and the Soviet Union itself has undergone dramatic changes in political structure and foreign policy. The U.S. public no longer regards the Eastern Bloc as the principal threat to national security. Yet even with the undeniable thaw in the Cold War many of the old scenarios for "World War III" remain as plausible as they were in the past, and new sources of instability could arise...

Fluid Dynamics for the Study of Transonic Flow
ISBN: 9780195060973 / Angielski / Twarda / 1990 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This new book leads readers step-by-step through the complexities encountered as moving objects approach and cross the sound barrier. The problems of transonic flight were apparent with the very first experimental flights of scale-model rockets when the disastrous impact of shock waves and flow separations caused the aircraft to spin wildly out of control. Today many of these problems have been overcome, and this book offers an introduction to the transonic theory that has made possible many of these advances. The emphasis is on the most important basic approaches to the solution of transonic...

The Bonded Electrical Resistance Strain Gage
ISBN: 9780195072099 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Experimental stress analysis is an important tool in the overall design and development of machinery and structures. While analytical techniques and computer solutions are available during the design stage, the results are still dependent on many assumptions that must be made in order to adapt them to the problems at hand. One popular method of finding structural and design weaknesses is through the use of the electrical resistance strain gage. These devices are relatively low in cost, easily applied by a reasonably skilled technician, and require little investment in instrumentation (for the...

Why Airplanes Crash: Aviation Safety in a Changing World
ISBN: 9780195072235 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This work examines the causes of airplane accidents and what private and public policies are needed to improve aviation safety. It begins by examining the safety record of the United States commuter airline industry in the post-deregulation era characterized by increased emphasis by airlines on cost control and growing pressures on the air traffic control and airport system. The authors go beyond the safety of the scheduled airlines to examine the reasons for accidents in the nonscheduled and general aviation segments of the United States industry, where the bulk of fatalities occur and where...
