Product Description

Prepared by the Task Committee for the updating of MOP 79 of the Pipeline Division of the American Society of Civil Engineers.

Steel Penstocks stands as a complete guide to the design, installation, and maintenance of the closed conduits between a free water surface and hydroelectric power stations. This new, thoroughly updated edition provides recommendations and technical guidance for all aspects of steel penstocks, including tunnel liners, wyes, and branch outlets. It also provides practical, comprehensive information regarding the economic, safety, and environmental aspects of designing and implementing steel penstocks at hydropower stations. Chapters offer both background commentary and specific requirements, and a final chapter contains 10 worked examples of design problems.

Topics include: design considerations, including economic diameter, shufoff systems, and seismic loads; materials, design criteria, and allowable stresses; exposed and buried penstocks; steel tunnel liners; wye branches and outlets; anchor blocks; appurtenances, bends, and transitions; corrosion prevention and control; welding; manufacture, installation, and inspection; startup; documentation and certification; and maintenance.

Hydroelectric engineers, designers, and facility managers use MOP 79 as the go-to reference for steel penstocks.

Steel Penstocks, Second Edition (ASCE Manual and Reports on Engineering Practice) Review

This book is an interesting update in the design of penstocks practice. I think that, because I was looking for practical applications, and I found what i was lookin for.

Product Description

This reference presents a new collection of diagrams of the human thalamus, basal ganglia, and adjoining structures for accurate targeting in stereotactic functional neurosurgery. This guide consists of a series of maps in the three stereotactic planes and comparisons between brains with similar and differing intercommissural distances to help specialists pinpoint precise targets, map through anatomic variations, and develop computerized models for stereotactic functional neurosurgery. Paired with a CD that allows for the enlargement and reader-friendly analysis of maps and illustrations found within the text, this source stands as the first atlas of the human thalamus and basal ganglia to focus on combined high stereotactic precision and anatomical resolution.

Stereotactic Atlas of the Human Thalamus and Basal Ganglia Review

As more and more knowledge on functional neurosciences surfaces,one goes back to books such as this to gain more insight into the anatomy of the Thalamus and the Basal Ganglia.I use this book to supplement other classical human atlases in the operation theatre durng preprocedural preparations and when setting targets for funtional neurosurgery.It makes good teaching materials for the residents of the Master of Neurosurgery(University Sains Malaysia) programme.

Product Description

The maximum principle and dynamic programming are the two most commonly used approaches in solving optimal control problems. These approaches have been developed independently. The theme of this book is to unify these two approaches, and to demonstrate that the viscosity solution theory provides the framework to unify them.

Stochastic Controls: Hamiltonian Systems and HJB Equations (Stochastic Modelling and Applied Probability) Review

This book covers general stochastic control more thoroughly than any other book I could find. This is *not* a book on numerical methods. It is also not on the cases which yield closed-form solutions: there is a chapter on LQG problems, but for the most part, this book focuses on the general theory of stochastic controls -- which are not the easiest things to solve in general, as you may know. The book handles only diffusion processes with perfect knowledge of the past and present (natural filtration). If these sound like what you want, I doubt there's a more thorough treatment.It starts with a chapter on preliminaries of prob. spaces and stoch. processes and the Ito integral. After that, the book briefly addresses deterministic problems in order to compare solution methods to the stoch. approaches. It approaches the problems using a stochastic maximum principle and a stochastic Hamiltonian system, and also from a dynamic programming point of view using HJB equations. The authors attempt to show the relationship between the two approaches.This book is technically rigorous. Though it claims to be self-contained, the reader should certainly be familiar with functional analysis and stochastic processes.The authors try to keep the solutions as general as possible, handling non-smooth cases as well as smooth ones. This is fine, except that they don't emphasize well enough (I thought), for instance, that the solutions are much simpler when functions are well behaved on convex bodies (it's mentioned as a note on p. 120), or when diffusions are not dependent on controls, and such.Because of this tendency to present one solution which will handle any case, it could sometimes be difficult to figure out what all the terms are. In the end, it all works out. Each chapter ends with a few pages of "historical background": who did what piece of the theory when, with an excellent list of references. (I found the originals useful to help explain things, on occasion, especially to see simpler ways to do simpler cases)Altogether, a very thorough piece on general solutions to stochastic control! I was quite impressed. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you?�Yes No Report abuse | PermalinkComment Comment

Product Description

Rapid advances have been made during the past few decades in earthquake response modification technologies for structures, most notably in base isolation and energy dissipation systems. Many practical applications of various dampers can be found worldwide and, in the United States, damper design has been included in building codes. The current design process is simple and useful for adding supplemental damping up to a reasonable level—but it is not as useful with higher levels of damping. Taking a different approach, Structural Damping: Applications in Seismic Response Modification considers the dynamic responses of structures with added damping devices as systems governed by the combined effect of the static stiffness, period, and damping � or "dynamic stiffness"� �of the structure-device system. This formulation supplies additional information for higher-level supplemental damping design that current provisions may not adequately cover. The authors also propose a more comprehensive consideration of the core issues in structural damping, which provides a useful foundation for continued research and development in seismic response modification technologies for performance-based engineering. The book includes design examples, based on the authors � research and practical experience, to illustrate approaches that include higher-level supplemental damping to complement the use of the current NEHRP/ASCE-7 provisions. A self-contained resource on damping design principles, this book helps earthquake engineers select the most effective type of damper and determine the amount and configuration of damping under given working conditions.

Structural Damping: Applications in Seismic Response Modification (Advances in Earthquake Engineering) Review

The insulation and energy dissipation are two powerful methods to mitigate seismic damage, for this reason I use it in my practical and academic work.
