This is the sixth and revised edition of a well-received textbook that aims at bridging the gap between the engineering course of tensor algebra on the one hand and the mathematical course of classical linear algebra on the other hand. In accordance with the contemporary way of scientific publication, a modern absolute tensor notation is preferred throughout. The book provides a comprehensible exposition of the fundamental mathematical concepts of tensor calculus and enriches the presented...

This edited volume features a collection of extended versions of 13 papers originally published in the proceedings of the 12th Asian Pacific Conference on Shell & Spatial Structures held in Penang, Malaysia in October 2018. All chapters in this book have been written by experts from Malaysia, Singapore, Korea, Hong Kong, China and Japan, and compiles recent advances in the analysis, design and construction of shell and spatial structures specifically in the Asia Pacific region.The ...

This book unies the common tensor analytical aspects in engineering and physics. Using tensor analysis enables the reader to understand complex physical phenomena from the basic principles in continuum mechanics including the turbulence, its correlations and modeling to the complex Einstein' tensor equation. The development of General Theory of Relativity and the introduction of spacetime geometry would not have been possible without the use of tensor analysis. This textbook is primarily a...

This book presents tensors and tensor analysis as primary mathematical tools for engineering and engineering science students and researchers. The discussion is based on the concepts of vectors and vector analysis in three-dimensional Euclidean space, and although it takes the subject matter to an advanced level, the book starts with elementary geometrical vector algebra so that it is suitable as a first introduction to tensors and tensor analysis. Each chapter includes a number of problem...

There is a large gap between the engineering course in tensor algebra on the one hand and the treatment of linear transformations within classical linear algebra on the other hand. The aim of this modern textbook is to bridge this gap by means of the consequent and fundamental exposition. The book primarily addresses engineering students with some initial knowledge of matrix algebra. Thereby the mathematical formalism is applied as far as it is absolutely necessary. Numerous exercises are ...

"A major achievement," this monograph on treating NPD "shows . . . a high level of integration of clinical experience and theoretical sophistication" ( Psychoanalytic Quarterly ).Psychoanalyst, teacher, and scholar, Heinz Kohut was one of the twentieth century's most important intellectuals. A rebel according to many mainstream psychoanalysts, Kohut challenged Freudian orthodoxy and the medical control of psychoanalysis in...

This book provides better inputs for improvement of the buckling load predictions of stiffened cylindrical shells subjected to combined loading. It is based on the International Colloquium Buckling of shell structures, on land, in the sea and in the air, Lyon, France, 17 September 1991.

In "On the Origin of Clockwork, Perpetual Motion Devices, and the Compass," Derek J. de Solla Price offers an exhaustive exploration of the technological advancements that underpin human ingenuity. The book embraces a meticulous approach, merging the history of science with the philosophy of technology, while employing a narrative style that deftly interweaves historical anecdotes with scholarly analysis. Price dissects the evolution of these devices, emphasizing their profound impact on n...

The Analysis of Beauty (1753) is William Hogarth's ambitious treatise on visual aesthetics, written to explain the principles underlying grace, variety, and pictorial pleasure. Rejecting rigid classical formulas and connoisseurial mystification, Hogarth argues for the "serpentine line," or line of beauty, as the key to movement, vitality, and elegance in art and nature. Its style is argumentative, practical, and often combative, combining Enlightenment empiricism with an artist's workshop ...
