Nonlinear Targeted Energy Transfer in Mechanical and Structural Systems

This monograph evolved over a period of nine years from a series of papers and presentations addressing the subject of passive vibration control of mechanical s- tems subjected to broadband, transient inputs. The unifying theme is Targeted - ergy Transfer – TET, which represents a new and unique approach to the passive control problem, in which a strongly nonlinear, fully passive, local attachment, the Nonlinear Energy Sink – NES, is employed to drastically alter the dynamics of the primary system to which it is attached. The intrinsic capacity of the properly - signed NES to promote rapid localization of externally applied (narrowband) - bration or (broadband) shock energy to itself, wh...

March's Advanced Organic Chemistry

The Sixth Edition of a classic in organic chemistry continues its tradition of excellence Now in its sixth edition, March's Advanced Organic Chemistry remains the gold standard in organic chemistry. Throughout its six editions, students and chemists from around the world have relied on it as an essential resource for planning and executing synthetic reactions. The Sixth Edition brings the text completely current with the most recent organic reactions. In addition, the references have been updated to enable readers to find the latest primary and review literature with ease. New features include: More than 25,000 references to the literature to facilitate further research Revised mechanisms, where required, that explain concepts in clear modern terms Revisions and updates to each chapter to bring them all fully up to date with the latest reactions and discoveries A revised Appendix B to facilitate correlating chapter sections with synthetic transformations

Optimization problems arising in practice mostly contain several random parameters. Hence, in order to get robust optimal solutions with respect to random parameter variations, the available statistical information about the random data should be considered already at the planning phase. Thus, the original problem with random coefficients must be replaced by an appropriate deterministic substitute problem. This proceedings volume of the 4th GAMM/IFIP-Workshop on "Stochastic Optimization: Numerical Methods and Technical Applications" held June 27-29, 2000 at the Federal Armed Forces University Munich, Neubiberg/Munich contains new methods for the approximation and numerical solution of deterministic substitute problems, especially the handling of mean value and probability functions as objective and/or constraint functions. Moreover, many concrete applications from engineering and operations research can be found in this book.

Agent-Oriented Software Engineering IX

Software architectures that contain many dynamically interacting components, each with its own thread of control, engaging in complex coordination protocols, are difficult to correctly and efficiently engineer. Agent-oriented modelling techniques are important for the design and development of such applications. This book provides a diverse and interesting overview of the work that is currently being undertaken by a growing number of researchers in the area of Agent-Oriented Software Engineering. The papers represent a state-of-the-art report of current research in this field, which is of critical importance in facilitating industry take-up of powerful agent technologies. This volume constit...
