DOWNLOAD EBOOKDamage prognosis is a natural extension of damage detection and structural health monitoring and is forming a growing part of many businesses. This comprehensive volume presents a series of fundamental topics that define the new area of damage prognosis. Bringing together essential information in each of the basic technologies necessary to perform damage prognosis, it also reflects the highly interdisciplinary nature of the industry through the extensive referencing of each of the component disciplines. Taken from lectures given at the Pan American Advanced Studies Institute in Damage Prognosis sponsored by the US National Science Foundation in cooperation with Los Alamos National Laboratories, this book will be essential reading for anyone looking to get to grips with the fundamentals of damage prognosis. Presents the 'ground rules' for Damage Prognosis. Deals with interdisciplinary topics: rotating machines, aerospace structures, automotive components and civil structures. Covers essential technical material: equations, graphs and plots, tables and photographs. Offers additional material from the associated workshop on an active web site.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book gathers papers presented at the 13th International Conference on Mesh Methods for Boundary-Value Problems and Applications, which was held in Kazan, Russia, in October 2020. The papers address the following topics: the theory of mesh methods for boundary-value problems in mathematical physics; non-linear mathematical models in mechanics and physics; algorithms for solving variational inequalities; computing science; and educational systems. Given its scope, the book is chiefly intended for students in the fields of mathematical modeling science and engineering. However, it will also benefit scientists and graduate students interested in these fields.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe overwhelming pace of evolution in technology has made it possible to develop intelligent systems which help users in their dayly life activities. - cordingly, methods of recording, managing and analysing data have evolved from the very simple ?le systems into complex ambient supportive intelligent systems. This book arises as a compilation of methods, techniques and tools c- nected with data related issues: from modelling to analysis. A broad range of approaches such as database self-* techniques for ubiquitous environments, multimedia data, or data driven models will be reviewed. Di?erent areas of applications, in which data models conceptualize nowadays reality, starting from e-learning to electric transformers will be considered. The book is a collection of representative contributions to cover the sp- trum related to data bases, which support decision making and data mining methods as well as conceptualization. Datawarehouse technology and m- eling are presented in the ?rst chapter together with the deep review of datawarehouse techniques for supporting e-learning processes with special emphasis on data cubes, all the tools are considered in the context of imp- mentationofsoftwareapplication.Thesecondchaptercontinueswiththes- ilar technology and deals with the community data warehouse architecture.
