  • Atmospheric Frontal Dynamics

    by Mankin Mak ...
    Atmospheric Frontal Dynamics is the first book to present a self-contained and comprehensive coverage of the ubiquitous surface and upper-level fronts, which are boundaries separating two air masses of different densities. Atmospheric fronts are a product of interaction between planetary, synoptic, meso and small scales of motions. They are uniquely important in weather forecasting since many ... Read more

  • Elasticity for Geotechnicians

    A Modern Exposition of Kelvin, Boussinesq, Flamant, Cerruti, Melan, and Mindlin Problems

    by Paolo Podio-Guidugli, Antonino Favata ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This book deals in a modern manner with a family of named problems from an old and mature subject, classical elasticity. These problems are formulated over either a half or the whole of a linearly elastic and isotropic two- or three-dimensional space, subject to loads concentrated at points or lines. The discussion of each problem begins with a careful examination of the prevailing symmetries, and ... Read more

  • Thoughts of a Scientist, Citizen, and Grandpa on Climate Change

    Bridging the Gap Between Scientific and Public Opinion

    by Eric P. Grimsrud ...
    Global warming has been a subject of great interest to both the scientific community and the general public during the last two decades. The consensus among scientists is that global warming is caused by mans activities. At the same time, however, the publics perceived importance of the global warming issue has not yet prompted them or their elected representatives to take an appropriate level of ... Read more

  • Flow, Deformation and Fracture

    Lectures on Fluid Mechanics and the Mechanics of Deformable Solids for Mathematicians and Physicists

    by Grigory Isaakovich Barenblatt ...
    Series Book 49 - Cambridge Texts in Applied Mathematics
    Over forty years of teaching experience are distilled into this text. The guiding principle is the wide use of the concept of intermediate asymptotics, which enables the natural introduction of the modeling of real bodies by continua. Beginning with a detailed explanation of the continuum approximation for the mathematical modeling of the motion and equilibrium of real bodies, the author continues ... Read more

  • Soil Mechanics

    A One-Dimensional Introduction

    by David Muir Wood ...
    This book teaches the principles of soil mechanics to undergraduates, along with other properties of engineering materials, to which the students are exposed simultaneously. Using the critical state method of soil mechanics to study the mechanical behavior of soils requires the student to consider density alongside effective stresses, permitting the unification of deformation and strength ...

  • Internal Gravity Waves

    by Bruce R. Sutherland ...
    The study of internal gravity waves provides many challenges: they move along interfaces as well as in fully three-dimensional space, at relatively fast temporal and small spatial scales, making them difficult to observe and resolve in weather and climate models. Solving the equations describing their evolution poses various mathematical challenges associated with singular boundary value problems ... Read more
