    • Cheng Fang
    • English
    Structural Damping and Seismic Engineering Using Iron-based Shape Memory Alloys introduces the fundamental properties and practical applications of iron-based shape memory alloys (Fe-SMAs) from the perspective of seismic engineering. It objectively discusses the superiority of this novel class of materials that could potentially address the limitations of the existing seismic control technology. The results, vividly presented as tables and figures, are demonstrated with religious experimental verifications supplemented by comprehensive numerical investigations. From the knowledge provided, the readers will gain an in-depth understanding of the working mechanisms of various Fe-SMA-based structural devices and members, including braces, dampers, steel connections, base isolators, and concrete components, and as a result they will be provided with a broader vision of next-generation performance-based seismic design for novel adaptive structural systems. The book aims to help bridge the gap between materials science and structural engineering fronts, and to shed light on the opportunity of commercializing Fe-SMA products in construction industry. The cutting-edge research introduced in this book will also provide technical incentives to encourage design professionals, contractors, and building officials to use high performance and smart materials in structural design, allowing them to remain at the forefront of construction technology.

  • Encyclopedia of the Anthropocene

    • 2nd Edition
    • Michael I Goldstein + 2 more
    • English
    Encyclopedia of the Anthropocene, Second Edition, Four Volume Set, once again provides a topical-based synthesis of the unprecedented rise of humanity’s ecological footprint, the result of exponential population growth, coupled with run-away consumption of the planet’s finite ecosystem services. This new edition captures our current understanding of the actual effects of human population growth on the world’s resources, whether climate change, biodiversity loss, deforestation, soil erosion, poor air quality, or undrinkable water.Since publication of the first edition, the Anthropocene has been even more widely debated among scientists, humanists, conservationists, industry leaders, politicians and others over precisely when it began, what to call it, if it should be an official geological epoch, whether it can be contained in time, and how it will affect future generations. Sustainability has been a growing issue for the Earth's ecosystems in the Anthropocene. Humans are now using up the world's natural resources at an unsustainable rate. This is causing huge problems for the natural ecosystems, agricultural systems, and water supplies, especially in the Global South. Climate change research, through field observation and remote sensing, has enabled improved understanding of its effects, allowing us to project future effects and the adaptation measures they require. These are essential topics - all of which are fully covered in the encyclopedia.Given the high degree of public and media attention on these topics, a revised edition is timely. With over 200 concise and focused chapters written by leading scholars in the field, this reference work is uniquely positioned to make this knowledge accessible to a wide, global audience.
