This work gives for the first time an interdisciplinary and deep approach to the mathematical modelling of rubber-like materials considering both the molecular and phenomenological point of views. It contains an introduction to the suitable numerical techniques and an overview of experimental techniques and data with a short survey on some industrial applications. Elastic and inelastic effects are discussed in details. The book is suitable for applied mathematicians, mechanical engineers, civil engineers, material scientists and polymer scientists.
Modular construction can dramatically improve efficiency in construction, through factory production of pre-engineered building units and their delivery to the site either as entire buildings or as substantial elements. The required technology and application are developing rapidly, but design is still in its infancy. Good design requires a knowledge of modular production, installation and interface issues and also an understanding of the economics and client-related benefits which influence design decisions. Looking at eight recent projects, along with background information, this guide gives you coverage of: generic types of module and their application vertical loading, stability and robustness dimensional and spacial planning hybrid construction cladding, services and building physics fire safety and thermal and acoustic performance logistical aspects – such as transport, tolerances and safe installation. A valuable guide for professionals and a thorough introduction for advanced students.
Historical Events are commented on as they happened. Other historical events are discussed years after they happened. The Wisdom of the U.S.A. supporting Israel is questioned and suggestions on how America could become energy independent are included. Poetry and Love Stories help balance the seriousness of the other writings. The variety of his writings create a must read book for history and science enthusiasts as well as you who are poetry lovers.
A lot went on during the 20th Century. Much of those events were recorded by media. Newspapers, television and magazines were prominent during the first 70 years of the century. Writings by many individuals did not get published even though they wrote on important subjects. Samuel Darwin Ogden wrote a huge amount of his thinking on subjects people heard about in the regular media sources. What was more important? What everybody heard or saw in the news or what the man on the street thought? You will be amazed at what one mind can perceive. Welcome to the Writings of a 20th Century Thinker. Space, the earth's magnetic field, love, the beauty of nature and the peace of God were on this successful business man's mind. Enjoy this series and look for the next set of this series of Writings of Samuel Darwin Ogden.
This book provides a unified theory on nonlinear electro-magnetomechanical interactions of soft materials capable of large elastic deformations. The authors include an overview of the basic principles of the classic theory of electromagnetism from the fundamental notions of point charges and magnetic dipoles through to distributions of charge and current in a non-deformable continuum, time-dependent electromagnetic fields and Maxwell’s equations. They summarize relevant theories of continuum mechanics, required to account for the deformability of material and present a constitutive framework for the nonlinear magneto-and electroelastic interactions in a highly deformable material. The equations contained in the book formulate and solve a variety of representative boundary-value problems for both nonlinear magnetoelasticity and electroelasticity.

In this novel by the author of The Golden Calves set in 1930s high society, a young man recounts the people in his life and what he’s learned from them. This superb gallery of portraits gathers its wit and resonance from the discerning eye of the central narrator, Dan Ruggles, who in the course of unraveling the dreams, doubts, and loyalties of those around him inevitably reveals his own. Dan spends his boyhood in the company of old-money aunts from Bar Harbor and polo-playing uncles from Argentina. He stumbles upon the complexities of adulthood at Yale in the 1930s, and grows to worldly maturity at the Wall Street law firm that provides him not only with a vocation but with seemingly endl...
