The design and construction of rotating machinery operating at supercritical speeds was, in the 1920s, an event of revolutionary importance for the then new branch of dynamics known as rotor dynamics.
Featuring contributions from leading population researchers in fertility, family, migration, life-expectancy, and mortality, this volume presents a new demography of Europe. The... Læs mere
Knowing the safety factor for limit states such as plastic collapse, low cycle fatigue or ratcheting is always a major design consideration for civil and mechanical engineering structures that are subjected to loads.
The focus of the present work is nonrelativistic and relativistic quantum mechanics with standard applications to the hydrogen atom. The genesis of quantum... Læs mere
Combinatorics and Reasoning: Representing, Justifying and Building Isomorphisms is based on the accomplishments of a cohort group of learners from first grade through high school and beyond, concentrating on their work on a set of combinatorics tasks.
These papers on Intelligent Data Analysis and Management (IDAM) examine issues related to the research and applications of Artificial Intelligence techniques in data analysis and management across a variety of disciplines.
The second half of the book (Ch.7-12) deals with more advanced topics, rarely encountered in the existing literature: seismic excitation, random vibration (including fatigue), rotor dynamics, vibration isolation and dynamic vibration absorbers;
The authors argue that the relationship, often complex, between what schools provide in the way of preparation, and the ways in which... Læs mere
This volume provides insightful analysis of the way higher education engages with socially excluded communities.
This study projects a 50-year perspective across 27 European countries, offering an extended discussion of theories and factors underlying the assumed modification of demographic components of population change.
