Non-Classical Problems in the Theory of Elastic Stability
Non-Classical Problems in the Theory of Elastic Stability Review
Non-Classical Problems in the Theory of Elastic Stability Feature
When a structure is put under an increasing compressive load, it becomes unstable and buckling occurs. This important work discusses stability analysis and buckling problems and offers practical tools for dealing with uncertainties that exist in real systems. The techniques are based on two complementary theories that are developed in the text: the probabilistic theory of stability and "anti-optimization," a theory that is valid when the necessary information for probabilistic analysis is absent, that is, when only scant data are available. Design engineers, researchers, and graduate students in aerospace, mechanical, marine, and civil engineering concerned with issues of structural integrity will find this book a useful reference source.

Everyday Heat Transfer Problems: Sensitivities to Governing Variables
Everyday Heat Transfer Problems: Sensitivities to Governing Variables Review
Everyday Heat Transfer Problems: Sensitivities to Governing Variables Feature
This book uses everyday practical examples to illustrate sensitivities of heat transfer problems to governing variables in a concise and readable format. Examples include cooling of a chip, sizing a solar collector for a pool, cooking a turkey, solar tanning, ice formation on a lake, and more. This book is intended for engineering researchers and advanced students concerned with Heat Transfer problems, as well as industry professionals in a variety of settings. Professionals in electronics packaging, power generation, equipment design and manufacturing, components testing and analysis, and others, will benefit from a better understanding of applied heat transfer issues in their work.
