      Introduction to the Theory of Shells centers on the foundations of shell theory, and to some of the important problems that can be tackled within the framework of shell theory. Organized into seven chapters, this book begins with an explanation of the elements of the theory of surfaces and the construction of a shell theory. Subsequent chapter describes a class of shells known as membrane shells, or membranes. Other chapters detail the bending of circular cylinders; shells of revolution; and axisymmetric vibrations of circular cylinders. This book will be useful as a text that represents a one-semester beginning for students with a reasonable (first course) background in elasticity theory.

      A Course of Mathematical Analysis, Part I is a textbook that shows the procedure for carrying out the various operations of mathematical analysis. Propositions are given with a precise statement of the conditions in which they hold, along with complete proofs. Topics covered include the concept of function and methods of specifying functions, as well as limits, derivatives, and differentials. Definite and indefinite integrals, curves, and numerical, functional, and power series are also discussed. This book is comprised of nine chapters and begins with an overview of mathematical analysis and its meaning, together with some historical notes and the geometrical interpretation of numbers. The reader is then introduced to functions and methods of specifying them; notation for and classification of functions; and elementary investigation of functions. Subsequent chapters focus on limits and rules for passage to the limit; the concepts of derivatives and differentials in differential calculus; definite and indefinite integrals and applications of integrals; and numerical, functional, and power series. This monograph will be a valuable resource for engineers, mathematicians, and students of engineering and mathematics.

      General Engineering Science in SI Units, Volume 2 covers the Engineering Science content of the General Course in Engineering, corresponding mainly to the requirements of the syllabus for the second year of a two-year course. This book discusses the resultant of a number of coplanar, concurrent forces; average velocity during uniformly accelerated motion; Newton's first law of motion; and graphical representation of the work done by a variable force. The load-extension graphs for brittle materials; coefficient of linear expansion of a solid; and electromotive force and potential difference are also elaborated. This publication likewise covers the magnetic effect of an electric current; rotation of a coil in a uniform magnetic field; and advantages and limitations of P.M.M.C. instruments. This volume is useful to students during the earlier years of CGLI Technician Courses and other engineering courses.

      Atomic Radiation and Polymers examines the effects of radiation on polymer materials. The title deals with chemical changes that took place when polymers are exposed to radiation, and how these changes affect the physical properties of the polymers. The text first covers the interaction of radiation and matter, along with radiation sources and dosimetry. Next, the selection deals with the general properties of long chain polymers. The text also details the organic molecules and irradiated polymers. Chapters 22 to 24 tackle the radiation-induced changes in nuclear chain reaction, while Chapter 25 discusses the irradiation of polymers in solution where both direct and indirect effects occur. The next series of chapters details the theoretical aspects of reactions between the initial acts of ionization or excitation. The last two chapters cover the conductivity change at low radiation intensities, along with the data on radiation damage at very high intensities. The book will be of great interest to researchers and practitioners from the field of nuclear science and polymer technology.

    • The Earth's Middle Atmosphere

      The Earth’s Middle Atmosphere covers the Proceedings of Symposium C2 and the Topical Meetings of the COSPAR Interdisciplinary Scientific Commissions A and C (Meetings A7 and C4) of the COSPAR 29th Plenary Meeting held in Washington, DC, USA, on August 28-September 5, 1992. The first part covers the impact of the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) observations on middle atmosphere science. This topic includes the early results of the validation and the application of the Cryogenic Limb Array Etalon Spectrometer (CLAES) data, which is an instrumental approach to the measurement of thermal infrared spectral emission from the atmospheric limb. An overview of the Halogen Occultation Experiment and the use of the UARS data in the NOAA stratospheric monitoring are also discussed in this part. It also includes the observed solar UV irradiance variations of importance to middle atmosphere energetic and photochemistry, as well as the stratospheric and mesospheric observations with the Improved Stratospheric and Mesospheric Sounder. The second part of the book tackles the energetics and chemistry of the middle atmosphere as well as the dynamics and coupling of the middle atmosphere to regions above and below. Results on the validation of the UARS wind and temperature measurements at and above the mesopause comprise the third part of this book. This book will be a great value to geophysicists and atmospheric scientists.
