This volume presents cases studies of applications of Geotechnology such as Geography Information Systems, virtual reality and cellular automaton and multi-agent systems in the field of urban planning and design. These are joint research presentations with students and colleague…
Practical management science
by Winston, Wayne L., Albright, S. Christian, Broadie, Mark
Covers the mechanical behavior of ceramic matrix composites at elevated temperatures. Topics include both short-term behavior (strength, fracture toughness, and R-curve behavior) and long-term behavior (creep, creep-fatigue, delayed failure, and lifetime).--Résumé de l'éditeur.
"Measurement, analysis and modeling of extreme precipitation events linked to floods is vital in understanding changing climate impacts and variability. This book provides methods for assessment of the trends in these events and their impacts. It also provides a basis to develop…
Many books offer coverage of the current work of top researchers, but rarely is any attempt made to look beyond the present day. This is a unique book, which not only documents the latest research but also provides an insight into the likely future of polymer science. At the hea…
Models that include a notion of time are ubiquitous in disciplines such as the natural sciences, engineering, philosophy, and linguistics, but in computing the abstractions provided by the traditional models are problematic and the discipline has spawned many novel models. This …
Computer simulation techniques are now having a major impact on almost all areas of the physical and biological sciences. This book concentrates on the application of these methods to inorganic materials, including topical and industrially relevant systems including zeolites and…
