Download or read book The Science and Engineering of Mechanical Shock written by Carl Sisemore and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-08 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book fills a unique position in the literature as a dedicated mechanical shock analysis book. Because shock events can be extremely damaging, mechanical shock is an important topic for engineers to understand. This book provides the reader with the tools needed to quantitatively describe shock environments and their damage potential on aerospace, civil, naval and mechanical systems. The authors include the relevant history of how shock testing and analysis came to its current state and a discussion of the different types of shock environments typically experienced by systems. Development of single-degree-of-freedom theory and the theory of the shock response spectra are covered, consistent with treatment of shock spectra theory in the literature. What is unique is the expansion to other types of spectra including less common types of shock spectra and energy spectra methods using fundamental principles of structural dynamics. In addition, non-spectral methods are discussed with their applications. Non-spectral methods are almost completely absent from the current books on mechanical shock. Multi-degree-of-freedom shock spectra and multi-degree-of-freedom testing are discussed and the theory is developed. Addressing an emerging field for laboratory shock testing, the authors bring together information currently available only in journals and conference publications. The volume is ideal for engineers, structural designers, and structural materials fabricators needing a foundation to practically analyze shock environments and understand their role in structural design.

Download or read book The Shock Doctrine written by Naomi Klein and published by Metropolitan Books. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 721 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bestselling author of No Logo shows how the global "free market" has exploited crises and shock for three decades, from Chile to Iraq In her groundbreaking reporting, Naomi Klein introduced the term "disaster capitalism." Whether covering Baghdad after the U.S. occupation, Sri Lanka in the wake of the tsunami, or New Orleans post-Katrina, she witnessed something remarkably similar. People still reeling from catastrophe were being hit again, this time with economic "shock treatment," losing their land and homes to rapid-fire corporate makeovers. The Shock Doctrine retells the story of the most dominant ideology of our time, Milton Friedman's free market economic revolution. In contrast to the popular myth of this movement's peaceful global victory, Klein shows how it has exploited moments of shock and extreme violence in order to implement its economic policies in so many parts of the world from Latin America and Eastern Europe to South Africa, Russia, and Iraq. At the core of disaster capitalism is the use of cataclysmic events to advance radical privatization combined with the privatization of the disaster response itself. Klein argues that by capitalizing on crises, created by nature or war, the disaster capitalism complex now exists as a booming new economy, and is the violent culmination of a radical economic project that has been incubating for fifty years.
Download or read book Crimes Unspoken written by Miriam Gebhardt and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-12-20 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The soldiers who occupied Germany after the Second World War were not only liberators: they also brought with them a new threat, as women throughout the country became victims of sexual violence. In this disturbing and carefully researched book, the historian Miriam Gebhardt reveals for the first time the scale of this human tragedy, which continued long after the hostilities had ended. Discussion in recent years of the rape of German women committed at the end of the war has focused almost exclusively on the crimes committed by Soviet soldiers, but Gebhardt shows that this picture is misleading. Crimes were committed as much by the Western Allies – American, French and British – as by the members of the Red Army. Nor was the suffering limited to the immediate aftermath of the war. Gebhardt powerfully recounts how raped women continued to be the victims of doctors, who arbitrarily granted or refused abortions, welfare workers, who put pregnant women in homes, and wider society, which even today prefers to ignore these crimes. Crimes Unspoken is the first historical account to expose the true extent of sexual violence in Germany at the end of the war, offering valuable new insight into a key period of 20th century history.

Download or read book Shock Focusing Phenomena written by Nicholas Apazidis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-18 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the main reasons for continuing interest in shock focusing is its ability to concentrate energy in a small volume and produce extreme temperatures and pressures in fluids in a controlled laboratory environment. The phenomenon of shock wave focusing leading to extreme conditions in fluids during micro- and nanosecond time intervals is a spectacular example of mechanics at small length and time scales revealing the major properties of shock dynamics including high-temperature gas phenomena. Production of high-energy concentrations in gases and fluids with star-like temperatures and extreme pressures by means of a stable imploding shock is of great interest not only in its own right but also because of the connection to a multitude of phenomena in nature, technology and medicine.

Download or read book MACHINE LEARNING APPLICATIONS IN FINANCE written by Dr. Hemant N. Patel and published by Xoffencerpublication. This book was released on 2023-07-17 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to tackle the computer challenge, we will need an algorithm. A collection of instructions that must be carried out in order to transform an input into an outcome is referred to as an algorithm. One illustration of this would be the development of an algorithm to produce a classification. Your ordered list is the result, and the input is a series of numerical values to be arranged. You might be interested in discovering the most effective algorithm, which either needs fewer instructions or less memory or both, and you might discover that there are numerous algorithms for the same work. On the other hand, we do not have an algorithm for certain tasks, such as determining what constitutes spam and what constitutes legitimate e-mail. We are aware of the nature of the entry, which is a simple typeface file contained within an email document. We are aware of the expected outcome, which is a yes/no answer signifying whether or not the communication should be considered spam. We are not familiar with the process of converting information to output. The definition of what constitutes spam shifts over time and differs from one individual to the next. Using statistics, we are able to compensate for our dearth of understanding. We are able to quickly collect thousands of example messages, some of which we are aware are spam and would like to "learn" more about how they are constructed. Therefore, we would like the computer (machine) to automatically determine the procedure that should be used for this work. There is no need for you to learn how to arrange numbers because we already have algorithms for that; however, there are many applications with example data that do not require an algorithm. Because of developments in computer technology, we are now able to store and analyze large quantities of data, as well as retrieve this data from geographically dispersed locations through the use of a computer network. Most data acquisition instruments today are computerized and capture accurate data.
