Free Download Finite Element Analysis of the Collapse and Post-Collapse Behavior of Steel Pipes: Applications to the Oil Industry By Eduardo N Dvorkin, Rita G. Toscano (auth.)
2013 | 98 Pages | ISBN: 3642373607 | PDF | 6 MB
This book presents a detailed discussion of the models that were developed to simulate the collapse and post-collapse behavior of steel pipes.The finite element method offers to engineers the possibility of developing models to simulate the collapse behavior of casings inside oil wells and the collapse behavior of deepwater pipelines. However, if technological decisions are going to be reached from these model results, with implications for the economic success of industrial operations, for the occupational safety and health and for the environment, the engineering models need to be highly reliable. Using these models engineers can quantify the effect of manufacturing tolerances, wear, corrosion, etc. This book describes in great details the experimental programs that are developed to validate the numerical results.

Free Download Venezuela’s Collapse: The Long Story of How Things Fell Apart by Carlos Lizarralde
English | March 19, 2024 | ISBN: 9798884033856, ASIN: B0CXLN5R7V | True EPUB | 361 pages | 0.6 MB
How did Latin America’s exceptional democracy become a nearly failed state? Why would a leader firmly in control lead one of the planet’s richest countries into a humanitarian crisis? Conventional wisdom blames the madness of a populist leader who squandered an oil fortune. In Venezuela’s Collapse, Carlos Lizarralde offers an alternative account that places race, ethnicity, and the struggle over resources at the center of the Hugo Chavez story.

Free Download Haijian Mao, "The Qing Empire and the Opium War: The Collapse of the Heavenly Dynasty "
English | ISBN: 1108455417 | 2018 | 569 pages | DJVU | 23 MB
The Opium War of 1839-42, the first military conflict to take place between China and the West, is a subject of enduring interest. Mao Haijian, one of the most distinguished and well-known historians working in China, presents the culmination of more than ten years of research in a revisionist reading of the conflict and its main Chinese protagonists. Mao examines the Qing participants in terms of the moral standards and intellectual norms of their own time, demonstrating that actions which have struck later observers as ridiculous can be understood as reasonable within these individuals’ own context. This English-language translation of Mao’s work offers a comprehensive response to the question of why the Qing Empire was so badly defeated by the British in the first Opium War – an answer that is distinctive and original within both Chinese and Western historiography, and supported by a wealth of hitherto unknown detail.

Free Download Jeffrey A. Becker, "Ambition in America: Political Power and the Collapse of Citizenship"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 081314504X | EPUB | pages: 210 | 0.7 mb
Most Americans admire the determination and drive of artists, athletes, and CEOs, but they seem to despise similar ambition in their elected officials. The structure of political representation and the separation of powers detailed in the United States Constitution were intended to restrain self-interested ambition. Because not all citizens have a desire to rule, republican democracies must choose leaders from pools of ambitious candidates while trying to prevent those same people from exploiting public power to dominate the less ambitious.
