This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 34 (thesis year 1989) a total of 13,377 theses titles from 26 Canadian and 184 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 34 reports theses submitted in 1989, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Download or read book Shake Table Testing of Lightweight Concrete Bridges written by Mervyn Kowalsky and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lightweight concrete has been used frequently in the past for building structures, however, its limited use in bridges as well as questionable past earthquake performance have pointed towards the need to investigate the dynamic behavior. The research presented here represents the third phase of the lightweight concrete testing program at the University of California, San Diego, where the dynamic behavior of the material is considered. The results of the first two phases of testing indicated that lightweight concrete performs well with little decrease in shear and flexural strength under cyclic loading. The testing described here encompasses two test units subjected to earthquake time histories on the Shake Table. The objective of testing is to further verify the results of the first two phases of cyclic testing where shear and flexural response were considered, as well as to investigate the overall dynamic behavior. Results are presented in the form of a qualitative assessment of dynamic response as well as further verification of the recommendations presented during the first two stages of testing. Additionally, a steel jacket repair of the prestressed unit allowed investigation of the dynamic behavior of lightweight concrete after a damaging event and subsequent repair.

Download or read book A Mechanics-based Virtual Model of NEES-UCSD Shake Table written by Ozgur Ozcelik and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large servo-hydraulic shaking table systems are essential tools in experimental earthquake engineering. They provide effective ways to subject structural components, substructures, or entire structural systems to dynamic excitations similar to those induced by real earthquakes. A typical shake table system includes mechanical, hydraulic, and electronic components. The main objective of this study is to develop a comprehensive mechanics-based virtual model for the large NEES-UCSD shake table under bare and loaded table conditions. The shake table model developed in this study includes a virtual replica of the actual controller, four servovalve models, two single-ended actuators, two effective accumulators, a two-dimensional mechanical subsystem model, and linear/nonlinear specimens modelled using the finite element analysis framework OpenSees. OpenSees is integrated to the rest of the simulation model in Matlab-Simulink® using a client-server technique developed within this work. Test-simulation correlation studies show that the virtual system model developed is capable of reproducing the nonlinear dynamic response behaviour of the NEES-UCSD shake table. An extensive set of shake table tests using harmonic and earthquake acceleration records as reference/commanded signals were performed on the NEES-UCSD table to assess its signal reproduction fidelity after tuning the table controller and using an iterative time-history matching technique. These tests were designed to quantify the effects of the amplitude of the signal used for tuning the table on the signal reproduction fidelity. It was found that the level of fidelity in signal reproduction achieved for a specific amplitude of the commanded signal under the corresponding optimum tuning of the table cannot be maintained when reproducing the same signal at different amplitudes. This is a clear indication that shake tables are highly nonlinear systems and the current state-of-the-art controller and tuning techniques fall short of compensating accurately for these inherent system nonlinearities. The mechanics-based virtual system model developed is extremely useful for: (i) understanding the underlying coupled nonlinear dynamics of a large shake table system; (ii) investigating the most significant sources of signal distortion; (iii) offline tuning of the actual table either by using only the virtual replica of the existing controller or by combining it with simulation-based iterative time history matching techniques; (iv) investigating shake table - linear/nonlinear specimen interaction problem; and (v) future more advanced control algorithm developments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on fundamental principles, Hydro-Environmental Analysis: Freshwater Environments presents in-depth information about freshwater environments and how they are influenced by regulation. It provides a holistic approach, exploring the factors that impact water quality and quantity, and the regulations, policy and management methods that are necessary to maintain this vital resource. It offers a historical viewpoint as well as an overview and foundation of the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics affecting the management of freshwater environments. The book concentrates on broad and general concepts, providing an interdisciplinary foundation. The author covers the methods of measurement and classification; chemical, physical, and biological characteristics; indicators of ecological health; and management and restoration. He also considers common indicators of environmental health; characteristics and operations of regulatory control structures; applicable laws and regulations; and restoration methods. The text delves into rivers and streams in the first half and lakes and reservoirs in the second half. Each section centers on the characteristics of those systems and methods of classification, and then moves on to discuss the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of each. In the section on lakes and reservoirs, it examines the characteristics and operations of regulatory structures, and presents the methods commonly used to assess the environmental health or integrity of these water bodies. It also introduces considerations for restoration, and presents two unique aquatic environments: wetlands and reservoir tailwaters. Written from an engineering perspective, the book is an ideal introduction to the aquatic and limnological sciences for students of environmental science, as well as students of environmental engineering. It also serves as a reference for engineers and scientists involved in the management, regulation, or restoration of freshwater environments.

Download or read book Preference, Belief, and Similarity written by Amos Tversky and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2003-11-21 with total page 1046 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amos Tversky (1937–1996), a towering figure in cognitive and mathematical psychology, devoted his professional life to the study of similarity, judgment, and decision making. He had a unique ability to master the technicalities of normative ideals and then to intuit and demonstrate experimentally their systematic violation due to the vagaries and consequences of human information processing. He created new areas of study and helped transform disciplines as varied as economics, law, medicine, political science, philosophy, and statistics. This book collects forty of Tversky's articles, selected by him in collaboration with the editor during the last months of Tversky's life. It is divided into three sections: Similarity, Judgment, and Preferences. The Preferences section is subdivided into Probabilistic Models of Choice, Choice under Risk and Uncertainty, and Contingent Preferences. Included are several articles written with his frequent collaborator, Nobel Prize-winning economist Daniel Kahneman.
