Analysis of Structures by Matrix Methods

Analysis of Structures by Matrix Methods

The analysis of engineering structures has always been a challenge to engineers and in the past classical methods were used to quantify the response of a structure to the applied forces. These methods were suitable for the analysis of relatively simple structures that could be solved by hand calculations but complicated structures had to be simplified to a model that could be solved by classical methods. The results however were approximations depending on the modifications made to the structure as well as on the experience and judgement of the analyst. These limitations led to the derivation of the slope-deflection equations for continuous beams and later formulation of the moment distribution method. With the advent of electronic computers systematic procedures for the analysis of structures have been developed. Computer programs help in obtaining required solutions to the simultaneous equations in the case of structures where the number of equations is large and hand calculations are not suitable. The detailed work with simultaneous equations can be made in a general and compact form by using matrix notation leading to the development of the matrix methods of structural analysis. This book deals with the analysis of engineering structures made of skeletal members and covers the type of structures that are commonly used in practice. It builds up on the subject matter dealing with matrix algebra analysis of bar elements special forms of members stability and vibration of structures and pin-connected rigid-plane and 3D frames. It treats the important step of formulating the overall stiffness matrix of a structure in a systematic and straightforward manner and uses simple mathematical approaches wherever possible. The book is reader friendly particularly for beginners who have no prior knowledge in this subject and can also be used as a textbook by undergraduate and postgraduate students studying for a degree in civil structural or mechanical engineering as well as by practicing engineers who have not studied this subject but are using software packages that deal with the analysis of engineering structures. | Analysis of Structures by Matrix Methods

Polarized Light and the Mueller Matrix Approach

Polarized Light and the Mueller Matrix Approach

An Up-to-Date Compendium on the Physics and Mathematics of Polarization Phenomena Now thoroughly revised Polarized Light and the Mueller Matrix Approach cohesively integrates basic concepts of polarization phenomena from the dual viewpoints of the states of polarization of electromagnetic waves and the transformations of these states by the action of material media. Through selected examples it also illustrates actual and potential applications in materials science biology and optics technology. The book begins with the basic concepts related to two- and three-dimensional polarization states. It next describes the nondepolarizing linear transformations of the states of polarization through the Jones and Mueller-Jones approaches. The authors then discuss the forms and properties of the Jones and Mueller matrices associated with different types of nondepolarizing media address the foundations of the Mueller matrix and delve more deeply into the analysis of the physical parameters associated with Mueller matrices. The authors proceed with introducing the arbitrary decomposition and other useful parallel decompositions and compare the powerful serial decompositions of depolarizing Mueller matrices. They also analyze the general formalism and specific algebraic quantities and notions related to the concept of differential Mueller matrix. Useful approaches that provide a geometric point of view on the polarization effects exhibited by different types of media are also comprehensively described. The book concludes with a new chapter devoted to the main procedures for filtering measured Mueller matrices. Suitable for advanced graduates and more seasoned professionals this book covers the main aspects of polarized radiation and polarization effects of material media. It expertly combines physical and mathematical concepts with important approaches for representing media through equivalent systems composed of simple components.

Wave Dispersion Characteristics of Continuous Mechanical Systems‏

Wave Dispersion Characteristics of Continuous Mechanical Systems provides a mechanical engineering-based analysis of wave dispersion response in various structures created from different materials. Looking at materials including strengthened nanocomposites functionally graded materials metal foams and anisotropic materials it uses analytical solution methods to solve typical problems in the framework of a micromechanics approach. Nanocomposites are a novel type of composite materials fabricated by dispersing nanosized reinforcements in a matrix to combine the material properties of the matrix with the improved properties of nanosized elements. This book enables readers to learn about the theory and practical applications of this rapidly evolving field. Practically minded the book investigates the impact of employing various nanofillers and demonstrates how this augments stiffness within the nanocomposite. Topics covered include agglomeration and waviness of nanofillers porosity elastic mediums fluid flow and the impact of the thermal environment on a propagated wave. Using mathematical formulations to solve wave dispersion characteristics of structures including beams plates and shells the book obtains equations of structures using first- and higher-order shear deformation theories. This book will be of interest to professional engineers working in material and mechanical engineering nanocomposites nanofillers and micromechanics. It will also be of interest to students in these fields. | Wave Dispersion Characteristics of Continuous Mechanical Systems‏

Nursing Theory Postmodernism Post-structuralism and Foucault

Nursing Theory Postmodernism Post-structuralism and Foucault

Nursing Theory Postmodernism Post-structuralism and Foucault critiques mainstream American nursing theory and its use of post-structural theory comparing and contrasting how postmodern and post-structural ideas have been used fruitfully in nursing research and theorizing elsewhere. In the late 1980s references to post-structuralism and Michel Foucault started to appear in nursing journals. Since then hundreds of nursing publications have cited postmodernism and key post-structural ideas such as power/knowledge discourse and de-centring the human subject. In Nursing Theory Postmodernism Post-structuralism and Foucault Olga Petrovskaya argues that the application of these ideas is markedly different in American nursing theory scholarship compared to nursing theoretical scholarship generated outside the canon of unique nursing theory. Analysing relevant literature from the late 1980s through 2010s she demonstrates this difference arguing that American nursing theory calcified into a matrix of dogmas built on logical positivism wary of borrowed theory and loyal to a unique nursing science. Post-structural ideas that fit the matrix such as criticism of medicine are sanctioned whereas ideas sceptical of humanistic agendas including those that challenge American nursing theory are rendered meaningless. In contrast other nurse scholars from Britain Australia Canada and what the author calls the American enclave group engaged with postmodern and post-structural perspectives to enrich their research and invite readers to rethink nursing practice. The book showcases examples of their intelligent creative theorizing. Arguing that American nursing theory enervated nursing theorizing Petrovskaya calls for opening this matrix to theoretical and methodological creativity less rigid categories of scholarship and healthy self-examination. Making the case that post-structural ideas are vital for nurses’ ability to critically reflect on their discipline and profession this is a necessary read for all those interested in nursing theory philosophy and praxis.
