Non-Axisymmetric Local Stability Loss of a Hollow Cylinder
The book presents formulations and examples of three-dimensional non-axisymmetric stability in viscoelastic anisotropic cylindrical shells. The most critical stability loss modes are determined by minimizing the critical loads and critical times with respect to the number of half-waves in radial as well as transverse directions. Currently, there is no literature available on three-dimensional local buckling analysis (or localized warpage) that considers non-axisymmetric stability loss in viscoelastic cylindrical shells. The contents of this book provide the formulation for such a stability loss analysis through the framework of the three-dimensional linearized theory of stability. Additionally, as this book addresses the problem by modeling the material as a viscoelastic fibrous composite, it can be applied to carry out buckling analysis in both elastic and viscoelastic cases.Guide to modelling composite viscoelastic shell elements for buckling analysisProvides a framework for defining the failure criterion for viscoelastic materialsCourse material for teaching shell buckling and viscoelastic composites

Hydrodynamics of Wave-Vegetation Interactions
Free-surface flow (or wave) interaction with vegetation is a complex subject. In order to understand the underlying physical processes either physical experiments or numerical simulations, or ideally in complement, can be employed. Both approaches face lots of challenges. For example in experiments, the research question is how to scale-down appropriately the large-scale physics and how to interpret the experimental data. In numerical simulations, how to approximate numerically the complex wave-multiple rigid or flexible structures (vegetal stems) including the resolution of turbulence at all spatial and temporal scales.This book reviews the state of the art of the research in the area of wave-vegetation interaction for coastal applications using numerical and experimental approaches. The reference text will be useful to students, early-career researchers, teachers and practicing engineers in the field of ocean engineering, civil engineering and climate change.
Quantities and Units
Precision and uniformity are indispensable when working with physical quantities, units and formula symbols. Only through unambiguous and authoritative notation is interdisciplinary cooperation possible. The book gives an overview of all common quantities and units, which are needed in studies and teaching as well as in everyday work. All printed quantities and units are currently valid and standardized in ISO/IEC. The book includes: _brief introduction to the development of the system of units _overview on the system of quantities and units _calculating with quantity values _units (international system of units, SI) _notation of numbers _mathematical symbols _Standardized symbols for quantities (mechanics, space and time, radiation, solid state physics, etc.), elements, nuclides, particles and quantum states. _Appendix: conversion to the U.S. customary system of units.
Time Regained
This book focuses on one of the oldest and most fundamental questions in both physics and philosophy: the nature of time. It presents original theoretical physics research on the 'problem of time' in modern physics, in parallel with a new philosophical framework for the analysis of symmetry and evolution in physical theory, as well as new work on the early modern precursors to the problem of time. Contrary to the standard wisdom, this book argues that a substantive notion of time can, and should, be retained within a consistent formalism for modern physical theory. The book marshals an array of philosophical and formal tools to justify this claim and analyses its physical implications. This book is the first of a two-volume project articulating a new approach to the analysis of time in modern physical theory. The second volume will extend and apply this approach in the context of classical and quantum gravity including quantum cosmological models.

Elementary Classical Mechanics
This book develops elementary classical mechanics in a setting that is appropriate for beginning university mathematics students without requiring a background in physics. It is an ideal first look at the subject for those who will go on to study more advanced aspects of the subject, such as Lagrangian, Hamiltonian, and quantum mechanics. These more advanced developments of mechanics are at the forefront of research in modern mathematics. Certainly, topics such as symplectic geometry, Lagrangian intersection theory, spectral theory, pseudodifferential operators, etc. do not require a background in classical mechanics, but studies in these areas are greatly enriched by a knowledge of their roots and how some of their motivational issues arose.

A Simplified Approach to the Classical Laminate Theory of Composite Materials
This book provides a systematic introduction to composite materials, which are obtained by a layer-wise stacking of one-dimensional bar/beam elements. Each layer may have different mechanical properties but each single layer is considered as isotropic. The major idea is to provide a simplified theory to easier understand the classical two-dimensional laminate theory for composites based on laminae with unidirectional fibers. In addition to the elastic behavior, failure is investigated based on the maximum stress, maximum strain, Tsai-Hill, and the Tsai-Wu criteria. Partial differential equations lay the foundation to mathematically describe the mechanical behavior of any classical structural member known in engineering mechanics, including composite materials. The so-called classical laminate theory provides a simplified stress analysis, and a subsequent failure analysis, without the solution of the system of coupled differential equations for the unknown displacements. Theprocedure provides the solution of a statically indeterminate system based on a generalized stress-strain relationship under consideration of the constitutive relationship and the definition of the so-called stress resultants. This laminate theory is typically provided for two-dimensional plane problems, where the basic structural element is a simple superposition of a classical plane elasticity element with a thin plate element under the consideration of an orthotropic constitutive law. This two-dimensional approach and the underlying advanced continuum mechanical modeling might be very challenging for some students, particularly at universities of applied sciences. Thus, a reduced approach, the so-called simplified classical laminate theory, has been developed. The idea is to use solely isotropic one-dimensional elements, i.e., a superposition of bar and beam elements, to introduce the major calculation steps of the classical laminate theory. Understanding this simplified theory is much easier and the final step it to highlight the differences when moving to the general two-dimensional case.
Grand Unified Theory Made Easy
Charles R.Storey's theory, which he has shared with Stephen Hawking and other prominent physicists is explained here in detail. Lumeniferous Ether Theory and other theories are examined in depth and included in a unified field theory which interconnects electricity, magnetism and gravity.Our current method of space travel will require an enormous amount of time and effort to explore and colonize celestial bodies relatively close to earth. A unified theory which brings our understanding of relativity and quantum theory together into one complete systems of thought may broaden our perceptions regarding our space-time continnum and may also provide us with an entirely new system of space travel.
