Download or read book Stability Theory Of Elastic Rods written by Teodor Atanackovic and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1997-01-16 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book treats stability problems of equilibrium states of elastic rods. Euler energy and dynamical methods of stability analysis are introduced and stability criteria for each method is developed. Stability analysis is accompanied by a number of classical conservative and non-conservative, two- and three-dimensional problems. Some problems are treated by all three methods. Many generalized versions of known problems are presented (heavy vertical rod, rotating rod, Greenhill's problem, Beck's column, Pflüger's rod, strongest column, etc.). The generalizations consist in using either a generalized form of constitutive equations or a more general form of loading, or both. Special attention is paid to the influence of shear stresses and axis compressibility on the value of the critical load. Variational methods are applied to obtain estimates of the critical load and maximal deflection in the post-critical state, in a selected number of examples.

Download or read book Data Driven Fluid Mechanics written by Miguel A. Mendez and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-12-31 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data-driven methods have become an essential part of the methodological portfolio of fluid dynamicists, motivating students and practitioners to gather practical knowledge from a diverse range of disciplines. These fields include computer science, statistics, optimization, signal processing, pattern recognition, nonlinear dynamics, and control. Fluid mechanics is historically a big data field and offers a fertile ground for developing and applying data-driven methods, while also providing valuable shortcuts, constraints, and interpretations based on its powerful connections to basic physics. Thus, hybrid approaches that leverage both methods based on data as well as fundamental principles are the focus of active and exciting research. Originating from a one-week lecture series course by the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics, this book presents an overview and a pedagogical treatment of some of the data-driven and machine learning tools that are leading research advancements in model-order reduction, system identification, flow control, and data-driven turbulence closures.
