Sergios Theodoridis ... 1062 pages - Publisher: Academic Press; 1st edition (April, 2015) ... Language: English - ISBN-10: 0128015225 - ISBN-13: 978-0128015223 ... 

This tutorial text gives a unifying perspective on machine learning by covering both probabilistic and deterministic approaches -which are based on optimization techniques – together with the Bayesian inference approach, whose essence lies in the use of a hierarchy of probabilistic models. The book presents the major machine learning methods as they have been developed in different disciplines, such as statistics, statistical and adaptive signal processing and computer science. Focusing on the physical reasoning behind the mathematics, all the various methods and techniques are explained in depth, supported by examples and problems, giving an invaluable resource to the student and researcher for understanding and applying machine learning concepts.The book builds carefully from the basic classical methods  to  the most recent trends, with chapters written to be as self-contained as possible, making the text suitable for  different courses: pattern recognition, statistical/adaptive signal processing, statistical/Bayesian learning, as well as short courses on sparse modeling, deep learning, and probabilistic graphical models. All major classical techniques: Mean/Least-Squares regression and filtering, Kalman filtering, stochastic approximation and online learning, Bayesian classification, decision trees, logistic regression and boosting methods. * The latest trends: Sparsity, convex analysis and optimization, online distributed algorithms, learning in RKH spaces, Bayesian inference, graphical and hidden Markov models, particle filtering, deep learning, dictionary learning and latent variables modeling. * Case studies - protein folding prediction, optical character recognition, text authorship identification, fMRI data analysis, change point detection, hyperspectral image unmixing, target localization, channel equalization and echo cancellation, show how the theory can be applied. * MATLAB code for all the main algorithms are available on an accompanying website, enabling the reader to experiment with the code.

Arthur P. Boresi, Richard J. Schmidt ... 681 pages - Publisher: Wiley; 6th edition (October, 2002) ... Language: English - ISBN-10: 0471438812 - ISBN-13: 978-0471438816 ...

Building on the success of five previous editions, this new sixth edition continues to present a unified approach to the study of the behavior of structural members and the development of design and failure criteria. The text treats each type of structural member in sufficient detail so that the resulting solutions are directly applicable to real-world problems. New examples for various types of member and a large number of new problems are included. To facilitate the transition from elementary mechanics of materials to advanced topics, a review of the elements of mechanics of materials is presented along with appropriate examples and problems.

Wai-Fah Chen, D. J. Han ... 606 pages - Publisher: Springer; 1st edition (January, 1988) ... Language: English - ISBN-10: 1461283809 - ISBN-13: 978-1461283805 ...

Plasticity for Structural Engineers is a practical work that provides engineers and students in structural engineering or structural mechanics with the background needed to make the transition from fundamental theory to computer implementation and engineering practice. It sets out initially to examine the stress-strain behaviors of materials under simple test conditions, goes on to show how these behaviors can be generalized under combined stresses, and finally outlines the finite element implementation of the generalized stress-strain relations for the solution of practical steel and concrete structural problems. Plasticity for Structural Engineers not only offers the reader an understanding of the fundamental principles and theory of plasticity in a form that does not require extensive mathematical experience, but also provides the reader with a compact and convenient summary of the modern development of concrete plasticity and limit analysis in structural engineering.

Frank White ... 864 pages - Publisher: McGraw-Hill Education; 8th edition (January, 2015) ...
Language: English - ISBN-10: 0073398276 - ISBN-13: 978-0073398273 ...

White's Fluid Mechanics offers students a clear and comprehensive presentation of the material that demonstrates the progression from physical concepts to engineering applications and helps students quickly see the practical importance of fluid mechanics fundamentals. The wide variety of topics gives instructors many options for their course and is a useful resource to students long after graduation. The book’s unique problem-solving approach is presented at the start of the book and carefully integrated in all examples. Students can progress from general ones to those involving design, multiple steps and computer usage.

McGraw-Hill Education's Connect, is also available as an optional, add on item. Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they need it, how they need it, so that class time is more effective. Connect allows the professor to assign homework, quizzes, and tests easily and automatically grades and records the scores of the student's work. Problems are randomized to prevent sharing of answers an may also have a "multi-step solution" which helps move the students' learning along if they experience difficulty.

ENERCALC Structural Engineering Library v6.16.8.31 [Size: 233.4 MB] ... The core of ENERCALC are calculation modules. Dating back to 1983 when the Structural Engineering Library was released as a set of spreadsheet templates, our modules are designed as “fill-in-the-blanks” style of interactive programs. Simply type in a value and the resulting analysis or design is instantly there for your review.

All modules in Version 6 conform to IBC 2006/2009/2012/2015, CBC 2007/2010/2013, ASCE 7-05/7-10, ACI 318-05/08/11/14, ACI 530-05/08/11/12, AISC 360-10, NDS 2015, 2012 & 2005.
The calculation module list is an ever-expanding set of structural calculations that provide analysis and design for the elements of a building. As requests are received from our users we develop additional modules ... and make use of the proven steel, concrete, timber, finite element analysis, and other engineering “solvers” we have developed.

Essential to any project are the standard construction products that the engineer will employ to develop the final structure. ENERCALC provides databases of all typical rolled steel sections, sawn wood and engineered lumber sections, material grades for steel and wood and small databases for concrete block and rebar. In addition the user can create their own steel section databases and also mark “favorite” items in all databases to simplify the work according to their most frequent needs.

ENERCALC software provides well designed calculation reports for all of its modules. Using the full capabilities of modern printers we combine highly readable font styles with well laid out calculation reports and integrated graphics.

The goal of our reports is to provide clarity and efficiency. This benefits the reviewing engineer and governmental plan check reviewer by providing well laid out, concise and thorough report that details the structural design. New technology has given us the gift of low cost color on printouts, and this benefits us all by allowing us to incorporate contrasting colors to call attention to warnings or overstress conditions.
All printouts conform to 8.5” x 11” typical United States paper sizes, and the user is also free to customize title block layouts and add company logos and a P.E. seal.
