Catastrophic Collapses
When structures fall, it is never just the steel and concrete that give way.Catastrophic Collapses: From Vision to Vulnerability is a gripping account of fifty disasters that scarred the modern world. From bridges that plunged into rivers and dams that burst, to towers that crumbled and industrial plants that failed, each story reveals how ambition, oversight, and flawed judgment unraveled the very systems meant to endure.This book traces not only the technical aspects of collapse but also the human and moral dimensions. Some failures arose from design flaws and ignored warnings, while others stemmed from misplaced confidence, ethical lapses, or responsibilities accepted too late.Covering events from the early twentieth century to the present day, this timeline of disasters highlights the lessons engineers, architects, students, and policymakers must carry forward. By understanding why things failed, we are reminded of what it takes to build responsibly in a world where the margin for error is slim.For readers fascinated by engineering, history, and the human side of failure, Catastrophic Collapses offers both a cautionary record and a compelling narrative. Because every collapse leaves a blueprint behind.This book is for engineers, architects, constructors, policymakers, and for all those curious about how great structures fall and what we must learn before history repeats itself. It also contains a glossary at the end to support readers who may not have an engineering or construction background but still wish to fully engage with the topics explored in the book. This volume serves as both a cautionary reference and an academic resource, making it suitable for libraries, universities, and professional collections in engineering, architecture, and social studies.

Mastering Digital Manufacturing
Every day, manufacturing teams balance delivery commitments, quality escapes, inventory constraints, and the realities of ageing assets. Many have piloted an IoT proof-of-concept here, a dashboard there, and wondered why the gains did not scale. This book addresses that moment. It is written for the people who make things and keep them running, professionals who know their processes intimately and want technology to assist rather than complicate.Digitalisation can appear to be a wall of terminology. This book takes a different path. In clear, plain language, it explains how a living digital thread connects design, planning, production, and service; how edge-to-cloud systems and closed-loop digital twins turn data into timely action; how computer vision, collaborative robots and autonomous mobile robots, and AR/XR work instructions elevate human performance; and how composable MES, PLM, and automation enable change to scale safely and sustainably. No hype, only what works in real facilities.The book presents concise, candid case studies from factories comparable to yours, then distils them into patterns that can be reused. It provides annotated reference architectures, value scorecards, and practical checklists, as well as tools to move from pilots to production while maintaining momentum. Throughout, it keeps people at the centre: building capability, reshaping roles, and making sustainability measurable, from energy-aware scheduling to Scope 3 visibility, because progress that does not endure is not progress.Whether you are an operations leader, plant or maintenance manager, manufacturing or controls engineer, data and AI practitioner, solution architect, or SME owner, this book meets you at your current stage. Read it cover to cover, or consult the chapter most relevant to your immediate priorities. In either case, you will find a clear path from first proof-point to site-wide adoption.Improving the way things are made remains among the most meaningful endeavours. Start where you are, use what you have, and take the next right step. The factory of the future is not elsewhere; it is the one you will build next.

India On Television ( Hb )
'Excellent...an incisive and much needed study of how television is changing India.' - Rajdeep Sardesai, Managing Editor, CNN-IBN and IBN-7More than fifty 24-hour news networks, operating in eleven different languages, emerged in India between 1992 and 2006. This book traces the evolution of satellite television and how it effected major changes in political culture, the state, and expressions of Indian nationhood. Explaining how television, a medium that developed in the industrial West, was adapted to suit Indian conditions, the book focuses specifically on the emergence of satellite news channels. It shows how live television used new forms of technology to plug into existing nodes of communication, which in turn led to the creation of a new visual language - national, regional and local - that altered politics and forms of identity formation in significant ways. Satellite television came to India as the representative of global capitalism in the early 1990s and crushed the governmental monopoly over broadcasting that had existed since independence. As such, the story of satellite news is also the story of India's encounter with the forces of globalisation. 'Accumulated with an insider's knowledge...a genuine contribution to the literature, bringing together valuable material that deserves a wide audience.' - Prof. Arvind Rajagopal, author of Politics After Television.

Mechanics of Solids and Structures
The third edition of Mechanics of Solids and Structures makes use of computational methods such as the finite element method that has revolutionized the field to solve problems while retaining all the basic principles and foundational information needed for mastering advanced engineering mechanics principles and acquiring problem-solving skills. The authors have updated the text to include the integration of numerical approaches and MATLAB(R) computer programs into the body of the text for carrying out analysis of truss, beam, and frame structures. The third edition also offers an update to Chapters 1 through 4 as follows. All material related to determinate trusses and cables is moved to Chapter 1, as most students most likely were introduced to these topics in a course on statics. Thus, Chapter 1 of the current edition is a review of statics. The concepts of stress and strain and associated examples were moved from Chapter 1 to Chapter 2, with additional discussion of concepts and examples. Chapter 3 in the new edition deals with stress-strain relations with applications to determinate systems, including trusses and thin-walled pressure vessels. Indeterminate trusses and associated computer implementation have been moved from Chapter 4 of the second edition to Chapter 7 of the current edition. Other indeterminate systems from old Chapter 4 have been retained in new Chapter 4. The second major change is the updating of all the computational tools from FORTRAN to MATLAB and providing interactive tools (i.e., APPs) in Chapters 7, 10, and 12 of the new edition. All computational examples from Chapters 4 and 6 on trusses and beams of the second edition are consolidated into a new chapter, Chapter 7 with numerous examples and applications of newly included TRUSS2d, BEAM, and FRAME2d APPs. Chapter 7 also introduces finite element analysis of plane frames (a new topic). The authors have also added new examples and exercise problems throughout the book that allow students to practice and apply the concepts and formulas to solve problems.

CMOS RF and mm-Wave Transceivers and Synthesizers
Power consumption has become a critical concern in RF/mm-wave integrated circuit (IC) design thanks to new applications from 5G, mobile computing, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things. However, big challenges lie ahead for chip designers when they choose to develop ICs using silicon technology for low-power and high-data-rate applications. This is because silicon technology suffers from undesirable energy dissipation due to its lossy substrate and high resistive wiring loss at GHz frequencies. Nonetheless, silicon remains the most suitable material satisfying the demands of a rapidly growing semiconductor market through low fabrication cost and ease of achieving system-on-chip or system-in-package integration. While long being neglected, low-power RF/mm-wave design has vaulted to the forefront of attention in recent years due to the demand for ultra-low-power transceivers to achieve sustainability. Designing genuinely ubiquitous transceivers for these new applications requires innovations in both system architecture and circuit implementation.This book closes the gap between a typical textbook with theories that are difficult to understand and a design-oriented book that offers little insight into actual theories. It evaluates and discusses different circuit topologies, receiver and transmitter architectures, phase-locked loop performance metrics, phase noise analysis, and sub-system-level designs that have yet to be reported in other books.
