Advances in Fatigue and Fracture Testing and Modelling
Advances in Fatigue and Fracture Testing and Modelling explores various aspects related to fatigue and fracture in metallic and non-metallic materials in terms of mechanical testing and numerical modelling. The book provides results of research work conducted by experts worldwide. It discusses fatigue failure of materials and presents possible numerical solutions. It also presents predictive models and finite element (FE) activities to illustrate the behaviour of materials in real-life conditions.
Casting Processes and Modelling of Metallic Materials
This book, Casting Processes and Modelling of Metallic Materials, explores the various casting and modelling activities related to metallic alloy systems. The book provides results of research work conducted by experts from all over the globe to add to the research community in the era of the casting process and modelling. The book was edited by two experts in the field of materials science and modelling, Dr. Abdallah and Dr. Aldoumani, whom both have several publications in peer-reviewed journals, worldwide conferences, and scientific books. The book introduces the casting processes and then discusses the various issues and possible solutions. Over the past years, various models have been proposed and utilized to predict the performance of castings. Some of these models proved to be accurate whereas others failed to predict the casting performance. The strength of any predictive tool depends on the employment of physically meaningful parameters that replicate the real-life conditions. This has been illustrated in the current book with such predictive models and finite element (FE) modelling to illustrate the behaviour of castings in real-life conditions.
Spots of a Leopard
"Spots of a leopard" is a quest into manhood. When journalist Aernout Zevenbergen moved to Kenya, he had no idea that his encounters with life would inspire him unto a journey of self-discovery. What is love? When is a man a good father? Can friendship conquer loneliness?Zevenbergen asks questions few have dared to ask men. Faced with their honesty, the author gets to confront his own demons too.
Failure Analysis - Structural Health Monitoring of Structure and Infrastructure Components
Failure Analysis - Structural Health Monitoring of Structure and Infrastructure Components is a collection of chapters written by academicians, researchers, and practicing engineers from all over the world. The chapters focus on some developments as well as problems in structural health monitoring (SHM) in civil engineering structures and infrastructures. The book covers a variety of multidisciplinary topics, including SHM, risk analysis, seismic analysis, and various modeling and simulation methodologies. This book is an excellent resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students, academics, and researchers across a wide variety of engineering disciplines, as well as for practicing engineers and other professionals in the engineering industry.
Creep
This book contains 12 chapters with original and innovative research studies in the issues related to the broadly defined creep effect, which concerns not only the area of construction materials but also natural phenomena. The emphasis on the discussion of a new trend of experimental creep testing, which binds the classic creep methods to seek the correlation of parameters obtained in tests, deserves particular attention. This book aims to provide the readers, including, but not limited to, students and doctoral students and also the research personnel and engineers involved in the operation of equipment and structural components as well as specialists in high-temperature creep-resisting materials, with a comprehensive review of new trends in the field of creep-exposed materials and their research methodology. The chapters of this book were developed by respected and well-known researchers from different countries.
A Solitary Black
They always ask me "What made you come to Islam?" So, I wrote my answer in a book. It has been just over a year since I came to Islam, but it has taken me a lifetime to get here. From the mazes of the council estates in Stockwell to the mosques of East London, I have lived through many sleepless nights. My journey has been long and solitary, an only child without a father to follow from the wilderness. I was a lost soul, who experienced the highs of this world only to fall from them and lose everything I had. My heart had to be broken over and over before I would be able to appreciate the best love of all. The skies are brighter now that I am Muslim but, there is still one thing standing in the way of my happiness.
Zak and His Good Intentions
Zak and his sister Hana decide to see how many good deeds they can do in one day. However, everything is going wrong for Zak, and his plans only end in disappointment . . . and lots and lots of mess. After his misadventures, Zak realized that it isn't only what happens that matters; his good intentions count too. J. Samia Mair has published three children's books: Amira's Totally Chocolate World, The Perfect Gift, and the chapter book The Great Race to Sycamore Street. She is a staff writer for SISTERS magazine and Discover: The Magazine for Curious Muslim Kids.
Islam and the Secular State
What should be the place of Shari‘a—Islamic religious law—in predominantly Muslim societies of the world? In this ambitious and topical book, a Muslim scholar and human rights activist envisions a positive and sustainable role for Shari‘a, based on a profound rethinking of the relationship between religion and the secular state in all societies. An-Na‘im argues that the coercive enforcement of Shari‘a by the state betrays the Qur’an’s insistence on voluntary acceptance of Islam. Just as the state should be secure from the misuse of religious authority, Shari‘a should be freed from the control of the state. State policies or legislation must be based on civic reasons accessi...
100 Cases in Paediatrics
The 100 Cases series provides a novel learning and revision tool that works by guiding the reader through each clinical case in a highly structured manner. Each scenario provides details of the patient's medical history and the key findings of a clinical examination, together with initial investigation results data for evaluation. Key questions then prompt the reader to evaluate the patient, and reach a decision regarding their condition and the possible treatment plan, while the answer pages reveal the processes a clinician goes through in such situations. The volumes are designed with the student in mind, and include features to aid self-directed learning, clinical reasoning and problem-solving. 100 Cases in Paediatrics covers the following subject areas: Respiratory, Cardiology, Endocrinology and diabetes, Gastroenterology, Nephrology, Infections, Dermatology, Haematology, Oncology, Bones and joints, Neurology, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Neonatology, Miscellaneous
King Hussein and the Evolution of Jordan's Perception of a Political Settlement with Israel, 1967-1988
Throughout the decade that predated the 1967 war, Jordan's declared views regarding Israel and the Arab-Israeli conflict were not basically different from those of the Arab consensus. Namely, rejection of Israel's legitimacy. In the wake of the war King Hussein was the first Arab leader to realize that in order to regain the recently lost territories, which he considered a most vital and urgent task, he (and the other heads of state) would have to offer Israel a meaningful quid pro quo. Hence the shift in Jordan's policy was twofold: (1) A change of the traditional statements that had been made by the King and his officials prior to June 1967; and (2) a change in the views expressed by Jorda...
