This monograph seeks to strengthen the contributions of Polish scientists and engineers to the study of problems of mechanical vibrations and noise. It presents research covering such topics as: structural damping; internal damping in composite ma...
This significant volume including maps and land-use case studies, contains a broad-ranging collection of scientific papers on aggregate resources and related topics, providing a valuable reference for those in this field.
Detailing a number of structural analysis problems such as residual welding stresses and distortions and behaviour of thin-walled rods loaded in bending, this text also explores mathematical function minimization methods, expert systems and optimu...
This book studies the impacts of various developed tools on the hydrodynamics of flow and transport mechanisms, illustrating this through a series of extensive numerical simulations of single and multiple realizations (Monte Carlo method).
This book reviews the developments that have taken place in the field of geotechnical engineering since the first international conference on Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering was held in Harvard University in 1936 until the January 1994 conference in New Delhi, India.
The Zambezi river basin is the fourth largest river basin in Africa and drains a total of some 1350.000 km2. This book contains 37 previously published papers on the Zambezi river basin, covering topics such as dam safety, rehabilitation and maint...
