Free Download The What and How of Modelling Information and Knowledge: From Mind Maps to Ontologies by C. Maria Keet
English | November 18, 2023 | ISBN: 3031396944 | 192 pages | MOBI | 5.17 Mb
The main aim of this book is to introduce a group of models and modelling of information and knowledge comprehensibly. Such models and the processes for how to create them help to improve the skills to analyse and structure thoughts and ideas, to become more precise, to gain a deeper understanding of the matter being modelled, and to assist with specific tasks where modelling helps, such as reading comprehension and summarisation of text. The book draws ideas and transferrable approaches from the plethora of types of models and the methods, techniques, tools, procedures, and methodologies to create them in computer science.

Free Download Modelling the Dispersion of Radionuclides in the Marine Environment: An Introduction By Dr. Raúl Periáñez (auth.)
2005 | 201 Pages | ISBN: 3540248757 | PDF | 4 MB
This book is a practical guide to the subject of numerical modelling of radioactivity dispersion in the marine environment. Thus, the techniques and numerical procedures required are explained in detail, with the aim of enabling the reader to build a real mathematical model. The book covers basic concepts and techniques, such as solving the advection-diffusion equation in a simple 1D form, as well as the most recent developments (full 3D models for non-conservative radionuclides including chemical reactions and speciation). A chapter is dedicated to the basic hydrodynamic modelling that is always required to simulate the dispersion of tracers in the sea; Eulerian and Lagrangian modelling techniques are also described. A chapter describes sensitivity and uncertainty analysis, the final stage in modelling works. A review on some published radionuclide dispersion models is also included.

Free Download Modelling Rock Fracturing Processes: A Fracture Mechanics Approach Using FRACOD By Baotang Shen, Ove Stephansson, Mikael Rinne (auth.)
2014 | 173 Pages | ISBN: 9400769032 | PDF | 4 MB
This text book provides the theoretical background of rock fracture mechanics and displacement discontinuity methods used for the modelling of geomechanical problems. The computer program FRACOD is used to analyse the fracture problems, assessing fracture initiation and propagation in tension (Mode I), shear (Mode II) and mixed mode I and II of solid intact or jointed geomaterials. The book also presents the fundamentals of thermo-mechanical coupling and hydro-mechanical coupling. Formulations of multiple regional mechanical, thermal and hydraulic functions, which allow analyses of fracture mechanics problems for structures made of brittle, rock-like materials, are provided. In addition, instructive examples of code verification and applications are presented.Additional material: The 2-D version of the FRACOD program, a manual on the program and a wealth of verification examples of classical problems in physics, mechanics and hydromechanics are available at http://extras.springer.com. A large number of applications related to civil, mining, petroleum and environmental engineering are also included.- The first textbook available on modelling of rock fracture propagation- Introduces readers to the fundamentals of rock fracturing- Uses a modern style of teaching with theory, mathematical modelling and applications in one package- The basic version of the FRACOD software, manual, verification examples and applications are available as additional material- The FRACOD program and manual enable the readers to solve fracture propagation problems on their own —————————Ki-Bok Min, Department of Energy Resources Engineering,College of Engineering, Seoul National University, Korea "Challenging rock engineering applications require extreme conditions of stress, temperature and hydraulic pressure resulting in rock fracturing to a various extent. The FRACOD is one of few computer codes available in engineering rock mechanics that can simulate the initiation and propagation of fractures often interacting with natural fractures. Its capability has been significantly enhanced to include the hydraulic and thermal fracturing with concerted interaction from multi-national research and industry partners. My experience with the FRACOD is very positive and I am certain that its already-excellent track record will expand further in the future."

Free Download Arthur Ormrod – Modelling Heavy Industry: A Guide for Railway Modellers
Crowood Press | 2017 | ISBN: 1785003372 | English | 196 pages | PDF | 146.32 MB
Railway layouts often depict a branch line in a rural or urban setting, with the majority of locomotive models representing passenger trains. However, increasingly, ready-to-run models of industrial locomotives are becoming available, providing the unique opportunity to place them into an industrial context. This new book gives the guidance and inspiration to place these models in their natural, industrial environment. It gives step-by-step descriptions of several build projects including a gas holder, a cooling tower and an open hearth melting shop. The book shows how to make resin buildings, kits and scratch-building and demonstrates the construction of industrial struce models in a variety of scales. And finally the development of an industrial locomotove fleet, specialized rolling stock and road vehicles are covered.
