Any nonlinear theories or finite elements have to be tested before they can be put into practice. Using the rigid body concept, this book provides simple rules for examining the validity of nonlinear theories and finite elements derived for structural members. The rules can be applied as well to testing the consistency of existing theories or computer analysis programs for nonlinear structures. Covers linear analysis and element quality test; nonlinear trusses and incremental constitutive laws; nonlinear analysis of planar frames; fundamentals of nonlinear theory of space frames; stiffness matrices for nonlinear analysis of space frames; theory and analysis on buckling of curved beams; and procedures for geometric nonlinear analysis. Provides numerous examples containing both analytical and numerical solutions. For mechanical, civil, and aerospace engineers

New Edition Now Covers Shock-Wave Analysis: An in-depth presentation of analytical methods and physical foundations, Analytical Fluid Dynamics, Third Edition breaks down the "how" and "why" of fluid dynamics. While continuing to cover the most fundamental topics in fluid mechanics, this latest work emphasizes advanced analytical approaches to aid in the analytical process and corresponding physical interpretation. It also addresses the need for a more flexible mathematical language (utilizing vector and tensor analysis and transformation theory) to cover the growing complexity of fluid dynamics. Revised and updated, the text centers on shock-wave structure, shock-wave derivatives, and shock-produced vorticity; supersonic diffusers; thrust and lift from an asymmetric nozzle; and outlines operator methods and laminar boundary-layer theory. In addition, the discussion introduces pertinent assumptions, reasons for studying a particular topic, background discussion, illustrative examples, and numerous end-of-chapter problems. Utilizing a wide variety of topics on inviscid and viscous fluid dynamics, the author covers material that includes: Viscous dissipation + The second law of thermodynamics + Calorically imperfect gas flows + Aerodynamic sweep + Shock-wave interference + Unsteady one-dimensional flow + Internal ballistics + Force and momentum balance + The Substitution Principle + Rarefaction shock waves + A comprehensive treatment of flow property derivatives just downstream of an unsteady three-dimensional shock + Shock-generated vorticity + Triple points + An extended version of the Navier‒Stokes equations + Shock-free supersonic diffusers + Lift and thrust from an asymmetric nozzle. Analytical Fluid Dynamics, Third Edition outlines the basics of analytical fluid mechanics while emphasizing analytical approaches to fluid dynamics. Covering the material in-depth, this book provides an authoritative interpretation of formulations and procedures in analytical fluid dynamics, and offers analytical solutions to fluid dynamic problems.

The second edition of Analytical Fluid Dynamics presents an expanded and updated treatment of inviscid and laminar viscous compressible flows from a theoretical viewpoint. It emphasizes basic assumptions, the physical aspects of flow, and the appropriate formulations of the governing equations for subsequent analytical treatment. Topics covered include: Basic concepts + A novel approach to linking complicated thermodynamics to the equations of motion + Shockwave dynamics + Calorically imperfect gas flows + Supersonic sweep + Shock-expansion interference + Unsteady, one-dimensional flows. First- and second-order boundary-layer theoryParticularly noteworthy is a new, general treatment of forces and moments. The one-dimension flow chapter also discusses internal ballistics and the Riemann function method for solving hyperbolic equations. These two chapters, along with those dealing with thermodynamics, sweep, interference, imperfect gas glows, and several of the appendices are new to this edition. Analytical Fluid Dynamics: Second Edition answers the continued need for fluid dynamic books that combine physical insight with careful development of the corresponding mathematics. With his focus on the development of analytical skills for dealing with inviscid and viscous flow, the author achieves this goal and provides a text valuable as a research reference or a graduate-level text.

Bayesian methods are a powerful tool in many areas of science and engineering, especially statistical physics, medical sciences, electrical engineering, and information sciences. They are also ideal for civil engineering applications, given the numerous types of modeling and parametric uncertainty in civil engineering problems. For example, earthquake ground motion cannot be predetermined at the structural design stage. Complete wind pressure profiles are difficult to measure under operating conditions. Material properties can be difficult to determine to a very precise level - especially concrete, rock, and soil. For air quality prediction, it is difficult to measure the hourly/daily pollutants generated by cars and factories within the area of concern. It is also difficult to obtain the updated air quality information of the surrounding cities. Furthermore, the meteorological conditions of the day for prediction are also uncertain. These are just some of the civil engineering examples to which Bayesian probabilistic methods are applicable.
