Description:

Nature has always been a source of inspiration for the design of the human environment. The analysis of biological constructions can not only lead to astonishing technical solutions but can also inspire the design of architecture. Bionics is a fascinating border area between pure research and practical application: biologists, chemists, physicists, mineralogists, and paleontologists meet up with material scientists, engineers, and architects and transfer their knowledge to architecture and construction.
Using numerous practical examples, this richly illustrated introduction traces the process from the understanding of how something functions, to abstraction-for example in computer models-and the construction of initial prototypes, through to fully functional manufacture and production.

Description:

Python for Mathematics introduces readers to effective methods for doing mathematics using the Python programming language. Most programming texts introduce readers to the building blocks of programming and build up to using more sophisticated tools for a specific purpose, like doing particular mathematical tasks. This is akin to teaching someone how to forge metal so as to make a nail, and then slowly working up to using sophisticated power tools so as to actually build something. This book does things in a different way, by first getting readers to begin using and understanding the tools that are going to be helpful to them as mathematicians, and only then moving onto the granular details. In this way, the practical application of the tools can aid in the understanding of the theory.
Features
· Complete with engaging, practical exercises
· Many useful and detailed coding examples
· Suitable for undergraduates in mathematics, and other quantitative sciences
· Empowers readers to design and create their own Python tools.

Language: polski
Year: 2025
Subjects: Science & Technology, Mathematics, Algebra
Publisher: Springer-Verlag New York, LLC
ISBN: 9783662705636
Total pages: 268

Description:

This textbook presents the topics typically covered in a standard course on discrete structures. It is aimed at students of computer science and mathematics (teaching degree and Bachelor’s/Master’s) and is designed to accompany lectures, for self-study, and for exam preparation.

Through explanatory introductions to definitions, numerous examples, counterexamples, diagrams, cross-references, and outlooks, the authors manage to present the wide range of topics concisely and comprehensibly.

Numerous exercises facilitate the deepening of the material. Due to its compact presentation of all important discrete and algebraic structures and its extensive index, the book also serves as a reference for mathematicians, computer scientists, and natural scientists.

Contents: From propositional and predicate logic to sets and combinatorics, numbers, relations and mappings, graphs, to the rich spectrum of algebraic structures, and a brief introduction to category theory. Additional chapters include rings and modules as well as matroids.

This book is a translation of the second German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so the book may read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.

Description:

Craig’s Soil Mechanics continues to evolve and remain the definitive text for civil engineering students worldwide. It covers fundamental soil mechanics and its application in applied geotechnical engineering from A to Z and at the right depth for an undergraduate civil engineer, with sufficient extension material for supporting MSc level courses, and with practical examples and digital tools to make it a useful reference work for practising engineers.
This new edition now includes:

• Restructured chapters on foundations and earthworks, the latter including new material on working platforms and collapse of underground cavities (sinkhole formation).
• New mobilised-stress-based deformation methods that can straightforwardly be used with both linear and non-linear soil stiffness models and field measurements of shear wave velocity, for serviceability limit state design.
• Extended sets of correlations for making sensible first estimates of soil parameters, adding deformation-based parameters for broader coverage than the Eighth Edition.
• Extended section on robust statistical selection of characteristic soil parameters.
• Greater use of consolidation theory throughout in determining whether actions, processes and laboratory/in-situ tests are drained or undrained.
• Extended chapter on in-situ testing, adding the Flat Dilatometer Test (DMT), and interpretation of consolidation parameters from CPTU and DMT testing.
• An updated section on pile load testing.
• Additional worked examples and end-of-chapter problems covering new material, with fully worked solutions for lecturers.

The electronic resources on the book’s companion website are developed further, with the addition of two new spreadsheet numerical analysis tools and improvement of existing tools from the Eighth Edition. Using these, readers can take real soil test data, interpret its mechanical properties and apply these to a range of common geotechnical design problems at ultimate and serviceability limiting states.

Description:

The last decade has seen the development of a number of novel biophysical methods that allow the manipulation and study of individual biomolecules. The ability to monitor biological processes at this fundamental level of sensitivity has given rise to an improved understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms. Through the removal of ensemble averaging, distributions and fluctuations of molecular properties can be characterized, transient intermediates identified, and catalytic mechanisms elucidated. By applying forces on biomolecules while monitoring their activity, important information can be obtained on how proteins couple function to structure. The Handbook of Single-Molecule Biophysics provides an introduction to these techniques and presents an extensive discussion of the new biological insights obtained from them. Coverage includes:

Experimental techniques to monitor and manipulate individual biomolecules
The use of single-molecule techniques in super-resolution and functional imaging
Single-molecule studies of physical properties of biomolecules
Single-molecule enzymology and biochemistry
Single molecules in the membrane
Single-molecule techniques in living cells
Integration of single-molecule biophysics and nanoscience

ISBN: 9783031763199
Total pages: 239

Description:

The book focuses on the stiffness modeling of serial and parallel manipulators It presents fundamentals and enhancements for Virtual Joint Modelling (VJM), Matrix Structural Analysis (MSA) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The described techniques consider complex kinematics with numerous passive joints, different types of loadings, including essential loadings leading to critical changes in the manipulator configurations, linear and non-linear stiffness analysis, conventional and non-linear compliance error compensation and stiffness parameters estimation from virtual experiments.
Presented enhancement for the VJM integrates in the stiffness analysis external force/torque applied to the end-point, internal preloading in the joints, and auxiliary forces/torques applied to intermediate points. The proposed technique includes computing an equilibrium configuration corresponding to the external/internal loading and allows obtaining the full-scale non-linear force-deflection relation for any given workspace point. This enables the designer to evaluate critical forces that may provoke non-linear behaviours of the manipulators, such as sudden failure due to elastic instability (buckling). The presented enhancement to the MSA allows users to carry out stiffness analysis for serial underactuated structures and over-constrained ones with multiple closed loops.
To increase the model accuracy of the VJM and MSA techniques a dedicated FEA-based stiffness model parameters identification technique is introduced in the book. It is based on the virtual experiments in the CAD/CAE environment and allows the VJM and MSA to achieve accuracy comparable with FEA, but it essentially reduces the computational effort, eliminating repetitive re-meshing through the workspace. All considered stiffness modelling techniques, kinematic particularities and loading conditions are illustrated with practical examples and related analysis.
