Download or read book Vibration and Shock Handbook written by Clarence W. de Silva and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2005-06-27 with total page 1837 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every so often, a reference book appears that stands apart from all others, destined to become the definitive work in its field. The Vibration and Shock Handbook is just such a reference. From its ambitious scope to its impressive list of contributors, this handbook delivers all of the techniques, tools, instrumentation, and data needed to model, analyze, monitor, modify, and control vibration, shock, noise, and acoustics. Providing convenient, thorough, up-to-date, and authoritative coverage, the editor summarizes important and complex concepts and results into “snapshot” windows to make quick access to this critical information even easier. The Handbook’s nine sections encompass: fundamentals and analytical techniques; computer techniques, tools, and signal analysis; shock and vibration methodologies; instrumentation and testing; vibration suppression, damping, and control; monitoring and diagnosis; seismic vibration and related regulatory issues; system design, application, and control implementation; and acoustics and noise suppression. The book also features an extensive glossary and convenient cross-referencing, plus references at the end of each chapter. Brimming with illustrations, equations, examples, and case studies, the Vibration and Shock Handbook is the most extensive, practical, and comprehensive reference in the field. It is a must-have for anyone, beginner or expert, who is serious about investigating and controlling vibration and acoustics.

Download or read book Exploring Natural Hazards written by Darius Bartlett and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-04-09 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 has identified four priority areas for Disaster Risk Reduction: understanding disaster risk; strengthening disaster risk governance to manage disaster risk; investing in disaster risk reduction for resilience and enhancing disaster preparedness for effective response; and to "Build Back Better" in recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction. Although tremendous progress has been made in recent decades in understanding the workings of the Earth systems and, in particular, its impacts on and responses to human actions, there remains a continuing and pressing need for knowledge that will allow society to simultaneously reduce exposure to global environmental hazards, while also meeting economic development goals. Exploring Natural Hazards: A Case Study Approach, contributes to the knowledge showcasing advanced practices for the monitoring of natural hazards. Through each case study, the book examines mainly hazards arising from processes within the hydrosphere and atmosphere, triggered or exacerbated by inputs to and transfers of energy between environmental components. It discusses the causes of these phenomena, and ways in which improved policy making, sometimes coupled with the application of appropriate modern technologies, can help to reduce people’s exposure to harm. Discussing challenges, lessons learned and recommendations, this book provides a snapshot of issues related to tropical cyclones and typhoons, desertification, floods, lightning as a hazard and the need for alert systems. It is a valuable resource for practitioners and professionals alike, for researchers, students and others who work at the intersection between environmental hazards, sustainable development and social justice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Controlling a system's vibrational behavior, whether for reducing harmful vibrations or for enhancing useful types, is critical to ensure safe and economical operation as well as longer structural and equipment lifetimes. A related issue is the effect of vibration on humans and their environment. Achieving control of vibration requires thorough und

Download or read book Environmental Factors Affecting the Emplacement of Seafloor Installations written by Kenneth Roland Demars and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to evaluate porential environmental problems at a seafloor site. The specific environmental problems of concern are: earthquake occurrence and effects, sediment scour and deposition, slope stability, seafloor vehicle trafficability, and turbidity currents. Pertinent information on each problem area is presented including an evaluation of the magnitude, probability of occurrence, and effects on seafllor installations. General information is also presented on the seafloor environment including the geomorphology, bottom currents, and sediments. Guidelines are recommended for evaluating each problem area. Some specific recommendations are to avoid construction sites close to an active fault or on an unstable slope if earthquakes registering 6.0 on the Richter Scale have been recorded within 100 miles; on slopes greater than 10 degrees, and preferably on slopes greater than 5 degrees--to minimize creep movement and earthquake-induced failures; and where there is more than a low probability of occurrence of turbidity currents large enough to damage a structure during its useful life. Another factor is that structures near sediment sources may be subject to long-term burial and to local scour effects running gear for seafloor vehicles. (Author).
