Primarily designed and constructed to resist outwardly directed loads imposed on the foundation of a structure, anchor plates play an important role in the design of structures (including seawalls, transmission towers, tunnels, buried pipelines, and retaining walls). Design and Construction of Soil Anchor Plates focuses on the various theories based on the design and construction techniques of anchor plates in soil mechanics. The focus of this reference is on design methods, theories, and procedures for constructing permanent or temporary ground anchors and anchored systems. Topics include: General Requirements of Vertical Anchor Plates and Design Criteria, Estimation of Ultimate Capacity in Vertical Anchor Plates, General Requirements of Vertical Anchor Plates and Design Criteria, Type and Length of Inclined Anchor Plates, Early Theories on Anchor Plates in Multi-Layers Soil, and Basic Theories on Passive Pressure in Vertical Anchor Plates. With this reference, researchers and designers will find a valuable guide to the various theories, techniques, and equations for anchor design.

Advances in Printing Science and Technology, Volume 5: Inks, Plates and Print Quality provides information pertinent to printing ink as a rheologically complex material. This book presents a theoretical analysis of a roller system carrying a thin film of printing ink. Organized into 19 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the experimental study concerning the properties of the liquid and the geometry of the roller system. This text then describes the use of roller systems to assess the behavior of printing inks, which began with the development of the Inkometer by Reed. Other chapters explore the behavior of printing inks between rotating rollers, which is descriptive of tack. This book discusses as well the factors involved in the rheological description of an ink, including the flow properties, the thixotropy, and the tack for describing the behavior of the ink. The final chapter deals with the thickening of the newsprint at low printing speed. This book is a valuable resource for graphic arts research workers, papermakers, and ink manufacturers.

Moiré Fringes in Strain Analysis provides a comprehensive description of the entire spectrum of techniques and methods using the moiré fringe phenomenon for the measurement of strains in engineering structures and in deformed bodies. This book presents several examples of applications of each technique to particular metrological problems. Organized into 12 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the interference fringes between two beams of monochromatic light. This text then discusses the theory of moiré patterns developed by various types of gratings based on the indicial representation method. Other chapters consider the experimental and theoretical investigation of the properties of moiré fringes that was primarily confined to moiré fringes formed by the interference of two-line gratings. This book discusses as well the major requisite for the application of moiré methods in the field of strain analysis. The final chapter deals with the advantages of the moiré methods. This book is a valuable resource for engineers, students and researchers.

How can these studies help industry in the prevention of major accidents? Paltrinieri and Khan provide support for professionals who plan to improve risk analysis by introducing innovative techniques and exploiting the potential of data share and process technologies. This concrete reference within an ever-growing variety of innovations will be most helpful to process safety managers, HSE managers, safety engineers and safety engineering students. This book is divided into four parts. The Introduction provides an overview of the state-of-the-art risk analysis methods and the most up-to-date popular definitions of accident scenarios. The second section on Dynamic Risk Analysis shows the dynamic evolution of risk analysis and covers Hazard Identification, Frequency Analysis, Consequence Analysis and Establishing the Risk Picture. The third section on Interaction with Parallel Disciplines illustrates the interaction between risk analysis and other disciplines from parallel fields, such as the nuclear, the economic and the financial sectors. The final section on Dynamic Risk Management addresses risk management, which may dynamically learn from itself and improve in a spiral process leading to a resilient system.
