English | PDF | 1993 | 291 Pages | ISBN : 1447119940 | 32.5 MB
Fracture and Mechanics is concerned with the experimental method of static and dynamic caustics and the Distribution of Determinant (Det.)-criterion of fracture. The Det.-criterion determines the conditions causing a crack and gives information on the expected angle of crack propagation. The object of this publication is to present the latest results to the re.earch and development community and to assist the teaching of experimental fracture mechanics and stress analysis in undergraduate and postgraduate courses. After discussing the basic theoretical considerations on the subject, experimental techniques and applications are introduced. Most of the results presented are based on the author’s own investigations in the field of experimental mechanics since 1973 at the National Technical University of Athens.

Constructing Postdigital Research Method and Emancipation


Free Download Constructing Postdigital Research: Method and Emancipation by Petar Jandrić, Alison MacKenzie, Jeremy Knox
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 408 Pages | ISBN : 3031354109 | 29.6 MB
This book delves into the various methods of constructing postdigital research, with a particular focus on the postdigital dynamic of inclusion and exclusion, as well as the interplay between method and emancipation. By answering three fundamental questions – the relationship between postdigital theory and research practice, the relationship between method and emancipation, and how to construct emancipatory postdigital research – the book serves as a comprehensive resource for those interested in conducting postdigital research.

The finite element method, which emerged in the 1950s to deal with structural mechanics problems, has since undergone continuous development. Using partial differential equation models, it is now present in such fields of application as mechanics, physics, chemistry, economics, finance and biology. It is also used in most scientific computing software, and many engineers become adept at using it in their modeling and numerical simulation activities. This book presents all the essential elements of the finite element method in a progressive and didactic the theoretical foundations, practical considerations of implementation, algorithms, as well as numerical illustrations created in MATLAB. Original exercises with detailed answers are provided at the end of each chapter.

An Introduction to the Circle Method

by Murty, M. Ram;Sinha, Kaneenika;

English | 2023 | ISBN: 1470472031 | 280 pages | True PDF | 8.31 MB
The circle method, pioneered by Ramanujan and Hardy in the early 20th century, has over the past 100 years become part of the standard tool chest of analytic number theory. Its scope of applications is ever-expanding, and the subject continues to see important breakthroughs. This book provides an introduction to the circle method that is accessible to undergraduate students with no background in number theory. The authors’ goal is to show the students the elegance of the circle method and at the same time give a complete solution of the famous Waring problem as an illustration of the method. The first half of this book is a curated introduction to elementary number theory with an emphasis on topics needed for the second half. The second half showcases the two most "classic" applications of the circle method, to Waring’s problem (following Hardy-Littlewood-Hua) and to Goldbach’s conjectures (following Vinogradov, with improvements by Vaughan). This text is suitable for a one-semester undergraduate course or for independent study and will be a great entry point into this fascinating area of research.

Author: Tiago Forte
Narrator: Tiago Forte

Living a modern life requires juggling a ton of information. But we were never taught how to manage this information effectively so that we can find what we need when we need it. In The PARA Method, Tiago Forte outlines a simple and intuitive four-step system that will help us sort all the information flooding our brains into four major categories-Projects, Areas, Resources, and Archives-allowing us to manage our commitments while achieving our goals and dreams. Projects are specific, short-term efforts that you are actively working on with a certain goal in mind, such as completing a website or renovating your bathroom. Areas are the larger, ongoing areas of responsibility (health, finances, etc.) that encompass those specific projects.
