This volume comprehensively covers the essential differential equations students are likely to encounter in solving engineering and mechanics problems, with its advanced companion text on applications. This covers a very broad range of theories related to solving differential equations, mathematical..

This book features a comprehensive discussion of the mathematical foundations of ultrasonic nondestructive testing of materials. The authors include a brief description of the theory of acoustic and electromagnetic fields to underline the similarities and differences with respect to elastodynamics. ..

Ground conditions bring some degree of uncertainty to every civil engineering project, and proper management of the variety of ground-related risk is paramount. This draws on the author's professional experience and proven risk management techniques for delivering on time and on budget...

This book explores the state-of-the-art in unsaturated soil mechanics, and will prove to be invaluable to researchers and practitioners in unsaturated soil mechanics and related fields...

There are other books on unsaturated soil mechanics, but this book is different. In most climatic zones, rainfall varies during the year and the depth of the water table varies sympathetically. In applying unsaturated soil mechanics in practice, it is therefore important to realize and allow for the..

This is a collection of articles from the Asian conference UNSAT-ASIA 2000, covering topics such as: historical developments; numerical modelling; suction measurement techniques; permeability and flow; mass transport; and engineering applications...

Computer programs for simulation of evaporative drying, for simulation of consolidation, and for slope stability calculation were used to analyse clay behaviour. This book compares strategies for using very soft organic clay as a fill material for road embankment constructions are compared, and pres..

In this book strategies for using very soft organic clay as a fill material for road embankment constructions are compared, and an optimisation scheme is presented. Computer programs for simulation of evaporative drying, for simulation of consolidation, and for slope stability calculation were used ..
