• Anghel Cernescu
• English

Fatigue Damage in Metals: Numerical Methods-Based Approaches provides readers with detailed and easy-to-implement simulation and modeling techniques for predicting, analyzing, and ultimately mitigating the effects of fatigue damage in metallic materials. The book is divided into three sections, the first of which covers various fatigue loading simulation techniques, the second looking at modeling methods for predicting and analyzing the cyclic behavior of metals, and the final section which discusses fatigue damage operators, criteria, and methods and also includes two chapters dedicated to case studies.  It addresses variable amplitude loadings, yield surfaces-based models for cyclic plasticity simulation, fatigue crack imitation and propagation related to microstructure, probabilistic approaches, and more. New criteria and numerical techniques for analyzing the initiation and propagation of cracks are included, as are raw data, algorithms, and codes that can be put into immediate use.

• English

Conservation, Development and Collective Power in the Tuna-Political Indo-Pacific explores industrial fisheries, which now cover 55 per cent of the World’s oceans, an area four times larger than the terrestrial area devoted to agriculture. In addition to fisheries, our oceans provide crucial highways and oceanscapes for shipping, oil and gas, seabed mining, blue carbon, coastal development, tourism and defense – all of which must balance conservation and development imperatives as they navigate and exploit our fragile marine environment.This book analyses and discusses the development of regional fisheries management and development in the Indo-Pacific, with the purpose of fostering the expansion and further development of collective strategies, science-based approaches and true ocean stewardship. It is the first book to analyze the development of these regional initiatives and discuss their global implications for sustainable development.

Introduction to Continuum Mechanics

• 5th Edition

• English

Lai et al’s Introduction to Continuum Mechanics is the leading textbook in continuum mechanics courses, having introduced senior-level undergraduate and graduate engineering students to the basic principles of continuum mechanics and their applications to real engineering problems for 50 years. The 5th edition has been re-focused on its long-time core market: one-semester graduate and senior undergraduate courses in continuum mechanics. It has been separated into two parts – elementary (linear) mechanics content aimed at one-semester coverage, and more advanced (non-linear mechanics) coverage. In addition the elasticity chapter has been replaced with a new chapter introducing various modes of material behavior. Instructors can rest assured that the new edition nevertheless uses the same approach as that in the earlier editions - that one can cover advanced topics in an elementary way that go from simple to complex, using a wealth of illustrative examples and problems. It is, and will remain, one of the most accessible textbooks on this challenging engineering subject.

Cognitive Radio Networks

• 1st Edition
• May 1, 2030
• Kiran Challapali
• English

802.22 is a proposed new IEEE wireless networking standard that addresses the two biggest issues in wireless broadband: 1) the need for more frequency space to accommodate more users, and 2) greater range and coverage area. These proposed WRANs will make use of vacant local television channels to deliver content in area quickly and even during high levels of traffic. As 802.22 users change locations, their PCs (or other devices) will determine which channels are vacant in the new location and seek wireless broadband on those frequencies. 802.22 is international in its design and will seek broadband access on all North American, European, and Asian TV channels. This book, written by two researchers instrumental in developing the 802.22 standard, describes the basic concepts of 802.22, hardware requirements, and how 802.22 uses cognitive radio techniques to find and connect to broadband wireless nodes operating on TV channel frequencies.
