Download or read book Yield Design written by Jean Salençon and published by Wiley-ISTE. This book was released on 2013-05-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the middle of the 20th Century yield design approaches have been identified with the lower and upper bound theorem of limit analysis theory – a theory associated with perfect plasticity. This theory is very restrictive regarding the applicability of yield design approaches, which have been used for centuries for the stability of civil engineering structures. This book presents a theory of yield design within the original “equilibrium/resistance” framework rather than referring to the theories of plasticity or limit analysis; expressing the compatibility between the equilibrium of the considered structure and the resistance of its constituent material through simple mathematical arguments of duality and convex analysis results in a general formulation, which encompasses the many aspects of its implementation to various stability analysis problems. After a historic outline and an introductory example, the general theory is developed for the three-dimensional continuum model in a versatile form based upon simple arguments from the mathematical theory of convexity. It is then straightforwardly transposed to the one-dimensional curvilinear continuum, for the yield design analysis of beams, and the two-dimensional continuum model of plates and thin slabs subjected to bending. Field and laboratory observations of the collapse of mechanical systems are presented along with the defining concept of the multi-parameter loading mode. The compatibility of equilibrium and resistance is first expressed in its primal form, on the basis of the equilibrium equations and the strength domain of the material defined by a convex strength criterion along with the dual approach in the field of potentially safe loads, as is the highlighting of the role implicitly played by the theory of yield design as the fundamental basis of the implementation of the ultimate limit state design (ULSD) philosophy with the explicit introduction of resistance parameters.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Human Computer Interaction written by Andrew F. Monk and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-06-28 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundamentals of Human-Computer Interaction aims to sensitize the systems designer to the problems faced by the user of an interactive system. The book grew out of a course entitled ""The User Interface: Human Factors for Computer-based Systems"" which has been run annually at the University of York since 1981. This course has been attended primarily by systems managers from the computer industry. The book is organized into three parts. Part One focuses on the user as processor of information with studies on visual perception; extracting information from printed and electronically presented text; and human memory. Part Two on the use of behavioral data includes studies on how and when to collect behavioral data; and statistical evaluation of behavioral data. Part Three deals with user interfaces. The chapters in this section cover topics such as work station design, user interface design, and speech communication. It is hoped that this book will be read by systems engineers and managers concerned with the design of interactive systems as well as graduate and undergraduate computer science students. The book is also suitable as a tutorial text for certain courses for students of Psychology and Ergonomics.
Download or read book Pipeline Risk Assessment written by W. Kent Muhlbauer and published by . This book was released on 2015-02-01 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The optimum management of risks emerges from the best understanding of risks. Risk understanding is now available to all, via efficient and intuitive risk assessment. This book presents the definitive approach to assessing risks from pipelines?an approach that overcomes the limitations of previous methodologies.As the definitive approach, the methodology must:*Provide clarity?generating immediately useful information to decision-makers*Be comprehensive and complete*Capture and integrate real world processes*Dispel myths arising from risk assessment past practice*Remove unnecessary complexity that interferes with understanding risk*Be cost-effective to create, apply, and manage.As with the author?s previous works, the recommended methodology detailed here is a practical, easy-to-apply approach to measuring risks associated with operating any type of pipeline in any environment. Risk assessment need not be a complex academic exercise. It should be a straightforward practice, used by ? and useful to ? any and all stakeholders in a pipeline?s operation.Some specific features of the definitive approach include:*The three critical determinants of failure probability?exposure, mitigation, resistance.*Using inspection information directly, intuitively, and efficiently in a risk assessment.*Measuring damage potential separately from failure potential.*Automatic and intuitive incorporation of interacting threats?weaknesses overlapping failure mechanisms.*The role of time-to-failure estimation in modeling corrosion and cracking.*Using hazard zones to understand potential consequence scenarios.*Representing all possible consequence scenarios with a manageable set.*The best use?not the most common use?of historical incident statistics*The essential role of the risk profile?proper risk management cannot occur without it.*Conservatism?both P50 and P90+ risk assessments are needed.*Making the risk assessment readily expandable?it should ?get smarter? as new knowledge becomes available.Herein lies essential guidance for keeping pipelines safe: Improving risk knowledge, leading to superior risk management, leading to safer pipelines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progress in Chemical Toxicology, Volume 5 covers topics on the improved isolation and detection procedures and quantitation methods for volatile poisons, stimulants, hallucinogenic drugs, and marihuana. The book discusses the absorption, distribution, and excretion of drugs and poisons and their metabolites; the system for the toxicological analysis of drugs in biological specimens; and the isolation and analysis of phenothiazines. The text also describes the use of fluorescence in toxicology and the toxicology of new synthetic organic polymers used in containers for food, pharmaceutical compounds, and drinkable water. Some microcrystal tests for drugs and advances in polarography as applied to toxicological analysis are also considered. Biochemists, toxicologists, and scientists involved in the study of narcotics will find the book invaluable.
