Forensic Gait Analysis Principles and Practice

Forensic Gait Analysis Principles and Practice

Gait analysis is the systematic study of human walking using the eye and brain of experienced observers augmented by instrumentation for measuring body movements body mechanics and the activity of the muscles. Since Aristotle’s work on gait analysis more than 2000 years ago it has become an established clinical science used extensively in the healthcare and rehabilitation fields for diagnosis and treatment. Forensic Gait Analysis details the more recent and rapidly developing use of gait analysis in the forensic sciences. The book considers the use of observational gait analysis based on video recordings to assist in the process of identification or exclusion. With the increase in use of CCTV and surveillance systems over the last 20 to 30 years there has been a steady and rapid increase in the use of gait as evidence. Currently gait analysis is widely used in the UK in criminal investigations with increasing awareness of its potential use in the US Europe and globally. The book details the history of the science current practices and of the emergent application to establish best-practice standards that conform to those of other forensic science disciplines. Engagement with the Forensic Science Regulator and the Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences in the UK and the International Association for Identification has helped to ensure and enhance the quality assurance of forensic gait analysis. However there remains a fundamental lack of standardized training and methodology for use in evidentiary and investigative casework. This book fills that void serving as one of the first to describe the current state of practice capabilities and limitations and to outline methods standards of practice and expectations of the gait analyst as a forensic practitioner. Forensic Gait Analysis reflects current research and forensic practice and will serve as a state-of-the-art guide to the use of gait analysis in the forensic context—for both education and training purposes. It will be a welcome addition to the libraries of professionals in the areas of podiatry gait analysis forensic video analysis law enforcement and legal practice. | Forensic Gait Analysis Principles and Practice

Structural Analysis and Design to Prevent Disproportionate Collapse

Structural Analysis and Design to Prevent Disproportionate Collapse

Hard Guidance on Preventing Disproportionate Collapse Disproportionate collapse is a pressing issue in current design practice. Numerous causes are possible – especially forms of extreme loading such as blast fire earthquake or vehicle collisions. But it is the mechanism and its prevention which are of especial interest and concern. After the World Trade Center collapse in 2001 interest was sparked and it is now imperative for a design engineer to have sufficient knowledge on both the analysis and design against disproportionate collapse. Detailed structural design guidance for preventing this has been developed in Europe and the US – such as BS5950 in the UK and guidance from the Department of Defense and the General Services Administration in the US. However Structural Analysis and Design to Prevent Disproportionate Collapse is the first systematic text in the market to help design engineers or structural engineering students to properly understand this guidance. Covers the design and analysis of a structure to prevent disproportionate collapse Provides an understanding of disproportionate collapse problems for different structures under different loads Contains detailed knowledge on the design and progressive collapse analysis of complex structures Incorporates ABAQUS® ETABS SAP2000 and Highlights 3D Modeling Techniques As progressive collapse analysis is a distinctive and complicated procedure it normally requires an ability to use a modern commercial finite element package and Structural Analysis and Design to Prevent Disproportionate Collapse features a detailed introduction to the use of FE programs such as ABAQUS® in progressive collapse analysis. In addition case studies are performed using 3D FE models based on various types of structures such as multi-storey buildings long-span space structures and bridges. These models replicate real collapse incidents and prestigious construction projects such as progressive collapse analysis of the Twin Towers structural fire analysis of World Trade Center 7 blast analysis of the Murrah Federal Building and progressive collapse analysis of the Millau Viaduct which help designers to fully understand the failure mechanisms and effective mitigation methods in practice.
