Finite Element Analysis is a very popular, computer-based tool that uses a complex system of points called nodes to make a grid called a "mesh." The mesh contains the material and structural propertie
Geotechnical Aspects of Pavement Engineering will introduce the field of pavement engineering, including field exploration and testing methods. The proposed text will be a useful handbook for practici
Environmental site investigation and characterization is a complex process that often includes a large number of variables, a limited number of resources, and not nearly enough time to complete proper
The new vocabulary relating to engineering entrepreneurship, as well as the useful analytical tools presented in this book will enable engineers to become more effective when devising new ideas, and c
Quantum mechanics is the most successful theory for describing the micro-world of photons, atoms, and their aggregates. It is behind much of the successes of the modern technology. It has deep philoso
The goal of the proposed book is to create a foundation for the Housing Innovations Collection, anchoring it in the programs, policies, people, and literature that have shaped the innovation landscape
Engineering design is distinctly different than analysis: the search for a 'best solution' rather than the quest for the single correct answer is the basic differentiation between these concepts. Engi
Case Specific Studies of Innovation in Housing will investigate innovative, case-specific housing technologies and processes surrounding the manufacture and implementation and examples of homebuilder'
Basics of Polymers: Materials and Synthesis will provide useful physical and chemical information about polymers that covers the essential points in the limited time available to students. This book w
The Basics of Polymers is written exclusively about chemical methods of polymer testing aimed at producing a high degree of manufacturing and quality control of polymer products. Polymer testing has a
