Introduction to Limb Arthrology

This book discusses arthrology in general and of the upper and lower limbs specifically. It covers the examination of each joint of both limbs considering their basic anatomy and physiology. It presents the various tests required for examining the joints and articulations and the systematic approaches that should be followed in cases of diagnosis of diseases and injuries related to them as well as in specific cases of disease and injuries. The book also defines special tests required in varied situations and mentions precautions that should be taken while examining patients of specific ages or work groups. To simplify the explanation and promote education original photographs either documented during clinical examination of the foot and ankle or taken using models are used in this book. These photographs are from accomplished orthopedic surgeons and have not been documented anywhere before. In addition some chapters showcase line diagrams sketched to illustratively discuss the information being presented. The book will help readers understand the importance of this expanding sub-specialty in orthopedics and will be useful for orthopedic surgeons taking exams in different universities of the world as well as sub-speciality exams of each joint. | Introduction to Limb Arthrology

Problem Solving for Engineers

Whatever their discipline engineers are routinely called upon to develop solutions to all kinds of problems. To do so effectively they need a systematic and disciplined approach that considers a range of alternatives taking into account all relevant factors before selecting the best solution. In Problem Solving for Engineers David Carmichael demonstrates just such an approach involving problem definition generation of alternative solutions and ultimately the analysis and selection of a preferred solution. David Carmichael introduces the fundamental concepts needed to think systematically and undertake methodical problem solving. He argues that the most rational way to develop a framework for problem solving is by using a systems studies viewpoint. He then outlines systems methodology modeling and the various configurations for analysis synthesis and investigation. Building on this the book details a systematic process for problem solving and demonstrates how problem solving and decision making lie within a systems synthesis configuration. Carefully designed as a self-learning resource the book contains exercises throughout that reinforce the material and encourage readers to think and apply the concepts. It covers decision making in the presence of uncertainty and multiple criteria including that involving sustainability with its blend of economic social and environmental considerations. It also characterizes and tackles the specific problem solving of management planning and design. The book provides for the first time a rational framework for problem solving with an engineering orientation.

Characterization of Nanocomposites Technology and Industrial Applications

These days advanced multiscale hybrid materials are being produced in the industry studied by universities and used in several applications. Unlike for macromaterials it is difficult to obtain the physical mechanical electrical and thermal properties of nanomaterials because of the scale. Designers however must have knowledge of these properties to perform any finite element analysis or durability and damage tolerance analysis. This is the book that brings this knowledge within easy reach. What makes the book unique is the fact that its approach that combines multiscale multiphysics and statistical analysis with multiscale progressive failure analysis. The combination gives a very powerful tool for minimizing tests improving accuracy and understanding the effect of the statistical nature of materials in addition to the mechanics of advanced multiscale materials all the way to failure. The book focuses on obtaining valid mechanical properties of nanocomposite materials by accurate prediction and observed physical tests as well as by evaluation of test anomalies of advanced multiscale nanocomposites containing nanoparticles of different shapes such as chopped fiber spherical and platelet in polymeric ceramic and metallic materials. The prediction capability covers delamination fracture toughness impact resistance conductivity and fire resistance of nanocomposites. The methodology employs a high-fidelity procedure backed with comparison of predictions with test data for various types of static fatigue dynamic and crack growth problems. Using the proposed approach a good correlation between the simulation and experimental data is established. | Characterization of Nanocomposites Technology and Industrial Applications

The BUGS Book A Practical Introduction to Bayesian Analysis

Bayesian statistical methods have become widely used for data analysis and modelling in recent years and the BUGS software has become the most popular software for Bayesian analysis worldwide. Authored by the team that originally developed this software The BUGS Book provides a practical introduction to this program and its use. The text presents complete coverage of all the functionalities of BUGS including prediction missing data model criticism and prior sensitivity. It also features a large number of worked examples and a wide range of applications from various disciplines. The book introduces regression models techniques for criticism and comparison and a wide range of modelling issues before going into the vital area of hierarchical models one of the most common applications of Bayesian methods. It deals with essentials of modelling without getting bogged down in complexity. The book emphasises model criticism model comparison sensitivity analysis to alternative priors and thoughtful choice of prior distributions all those aspects of the art of modelling that are easily overlooked in more theoretical expositions. More pragmatic than ideological the authors systematically work through the large range of tricks that reveal the real power of the BUGS software for example dealing with missing data censoring grouped data prediction ranking parameter constraints and so on. Many of the examples are biostatistical but they do not require domain knowledge and are generalisable to a wide range of other application areas. Full code and data for examples exercises and some solutions can be found on the book‘s website. | The BUGS Book A Practical Introduction to Bayesian Analysis

A Geology for Engineers

No engineering structure can be built on the ground or within it without the influence of geology being experienced by the engineer. Yet geology is an ancillary subject to students of engineering and it is therefore essential that their training is supported by a concise reliable and usable text on geology and its relationship to engineering. In this book all the fundamental aspects of geology are described and explained but within the limits thought suitable for engineers. It describes the structure of the earth and the operation of its internal processes together with the geological processes that shape the earth and produce its rocks and soils. It also details the commonly occurring types of rock and soil and many types of geological structure and geological maps. Care has been taken to focus on the relationship between geology and geomechanics so emphasis has been placed on the geological processes that bear directly upon the composition structure and mechanics of soil and rocks and on the movement of groundwater. The descriptions of geological processes and their products are used as the basis for explaining why it is important to investigate the ground and to show how the investigations may be conducted at ground level and underground. Specific instruction is provided on the relationship between geology and many common activities undertaken when engineering in rock and soil. | A Geology for Engineers
