This book was released on 2008-09-01 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2003 in the subject Engineering - Mechanical Engineering, grade: 1,0, Australian Maritime College (Maritime Engineering), language: English, abstract: With the increased use of composite materials in various structural applications, the subject of analysing the properties of composite unstiffened and stiffened panels has received widespread attention. Laminated panels are considered as the basic modules of high performance boats, aircraft and many other complex structures, which require less specific weight, better durability, and excellent damage tolerance and are often subject to air-blast loading or under water shock. The failure mode of fibre reinforced composite materials is rather more complex than that of isotropic material. This is because of the different properties of fibres and matrix the composite is made of. There has been a number of failure theories developed since the first industrial usage of composites in the early 1980s. Those theories are based on different failure criteria and often just cover some special set up. In the last years computer simulations based on FEA were set up to predict the failure of composites. Because there is only few experimental data available for comparison, the need for experimental investigations of composites is big. [...]

Download or read book American Environmentalism written by J. Michael Martinez and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-06-20 with total page 1227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protecting the natural environment and promoting sustainability have become important objectives, but achieving such goals presents myriad challenges for even the most committed environmentalist. American Environmentalism: Philosophy, History, and Public Policy examines whether competing interests can be reconciled while developing consistent, coherent, effective public policy to regulate uses and protection of the natural environment without destroying the national economy. It then reviews a range of possible solutions. The book delves into key normative concepts that undergird American perspectives on nature by providing an overview of philosophical concepts found in the western intellectual tradition, the presuppositions inherent in neoclassical economics, and anthropocentric (human-centered) and biocentric (earth-centered) positions on sustainability. It traces the evolution of attitudes about nature from the time of the Ancient Greeks through Europeans in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the Enlightenment and the American Founders, the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and up to the present. Building on this foundation, the author examines the political landscape as non-governmental organizations (NGOs), industry leaders, and government officials struggle to balance industrial development with environmental concerns. Outrageous claims, silly misrepresentations, bogus arguments, absurd contentions, and overblown prophesies of impending calamities are bandied about by many parties on all sides of the debate—industry spokespeople, elected representatives, unelected regulators, concerned citizens, and environmental NGOs alike. In lieu of descending into this morass, the author circumvents the silliness to explore the crucial issues through a more focused, disciplined approach. Rather than engage in acrimonious debate over minutiae, as so often occurs in the context of "green" claims, he recasts the issue in a way that provides a cohesive look at all sides. This effort may be quixotic, but how else to cut the Gordian knot?
