MATRIX ALGEBRA has assumed a role of great importance to engineers because of the many useful applications of this branch of mathematics in various fields of engineering and applied science. Subjects such as electric circuit analysis, engineering mechanics, structural analysis, and systems analysis require the use of matrix operations for solving complex problems. Therefore, students of engineering need to obtain a working knowledge of matrix algebra as a part of their basic engineering training. This book is intended to fulfill the needs of such students and others who wish to learn the elements of matrix algebra from a practical point of view. A working knowledge of the subject can be obtained from this presentation, either through self-study or in conjunction with classroom instruction. The only mathematical prerequisite to studying most of this book is algebra, and the subject matter can be mastered easily by college students at all levels. Methodology is emphasized rather than the mathematical structure of the subject, and all of the developments are presented at an elementary level without formal proofs. The authors have taught this material to engineering students for several years and have found that a thorough grasp of the subject may be attained in a relatively short time. To aid the student in becoming familiar with the matrix operations that are described, numerous illustrative examples are given throughout the text. Many problems to be solved by the student appear at the ends of the chapters, and answers to most problems are given at the back of the book. In addition, a list of references is provided if further study from a more mathematical point of view is desired.

Matrix algebra is one of the most important areas of mathematics for data analysis and for statistical theory. If you are interested in practical use of Matrix Algebra, this a good buy. The author, Stanford University Professor Emeritus James M. Gere taught engineering for 34 years and co-founded the John A. Blume Earthquake Engineering Center. He was the author or co-author of numerous textbooks on engineering.

Matrix analysis of structures is a vital subject to every structural analyst, whether working in aero-astro, civil, or mechanical engineering. It provides a comprehensive approach to the analysis of a wide variety of structural types, and therefore offers a major advantage over traditional metho~ which often differ for each type of structure. The matrix approach also provides an efficient means of describing various steps in the analysis and is easily programmed for digital computers. Use of matrices is natural when performing calculations with a digital computer, because matrices permit large groups of numbers to be manipulated in a simple and effective manner. This book, now in its third edition, was written for both college students and engineers in industry. It serves as a textbook for courses at either the senior or first-year graduate level, and it also provides a permanent reference for practicing engineers. The book explains both the theory and the practical implementation of matrix methods of structural analysis. Emphasis is placed on developing a physical understanding of the theory and the ability to use computer programs for performing structural calculations. Erscheinungsdatum: 26.11.2012

Las más recientes creaciones de ciencia-ficción revelan un descenso del interés por la técnica en estado puro y un desarrollo creciente del análisis de las estructuras sociales. Problemas reales, solución lógica podría ser el nuevo planteamiento, en el que domina la deducción sobre la fantasía. Sobre una base inexcusablemente científica, la nueva ciencia-ficción se resuelve en una inteligente visión del futuro. En este sentido es revelador el relato CUANDO FUIMOS A VER EL FIN DEL MUNDO, que da título a este volumen y que constituye un análisis irónico, "desde dentro", del papel de la ciencia-ficción en la cultura media de nuestro tiempo. La quinta cabeza de Cerbero es una de las historias más originales de los últimos años: un relato de la vida provinciana en una pequeña ciudad de un mundo remoto. Completan el volumen Caliban, La reunión, Cielo azul —espléndida parodia de los viajes espaciales— y otros relatos seleccionados entre las más recientes antologías de ciencia-ficción americana

Report of the trials succeeding the anti-abolition riot in which Elijah P. Lovejoy was killed

The best available guide to the elastic stability of large structures, this book introduces the principles and theory of structural stability. It was co-authored by the father of modern engineering mechanics, Stephen Timoshenko, and James Gere, who updated the materials and worked closely with Dr. Timoshenko. Relevant to aspects of civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering, this classic covers the essentials of static and dynamic instabilities. Topics range from theoretical explanations of 2- and 3-D stress and strain to practical applications such as torsion, bending, thermal stress, and wave propagation through solids. Additional subjects include beam columns, curved bars and arches, buckling of rings, and experiments and design formulas. Particularly suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of engineering, this volume is also an indispensable reference for professionals.

该书共12章, 包括:拉伸, 压缩和剪切, 轴向载荷构件, 扭转变形, 剪切力和弯矩, 梁的应力, 应力和应变分析, 水平应力应用, 梁的挠度, 超静定梁, 柱, 矩心和转动惯量

<P>During William Gilmore Simms's life (1806-1870), book reviews and critical essays became vital parts of American literary culture and intellectual discourse. Simms was an assiduous reviewer and essayist, proving by example the importance of those genres. William Gilmore Simms's Selected Reviews on Literature and Civilization publishes for the first time in book form sixty-two examples of the writer's hundreds of newspaper and periodical reviews and book notes as well as four important critical essays. Together, the reviews and essays reveal the regional, national, and international dimensions of Simms's intellectual interests.</P><P>To frame the two distinct parts of Selected Reviews, James Everett Kibler, Jr., and David Moltke-Hansen have written a general introduction that considers the development of book reviewing and the authorship of essays in cultural and historical contexts. In part one, Kibler offers an introduction that examines Simms's reviewing habits and the aesthetic and critical values that informed the author's reviews. Kibler then publishes selected texts of reviews and provides historical and cultural backgrounds for each selection. Simms was an early proponent of the critical theories of Romantics such as William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Edgar Allan Poe. Widely read in European history and literature, he reviewed works published in French, German, and classics in original Greek and Latin and in translation. Simms also was an early, ardent advocate of works of local color and of southern "backwoods" humorists of his day. Simms published notices of seven of Herman Melville's novels, the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson, and favorably reviewed Henry David Thoreau's Walden; or, Life in the Woods.</P><P>Simms published numerous review essays of twenty thousand or more words in literary journals and also republished two collections in book form. These volumes treated such subjects as Americanism in literature and the American Revolution in South Carolina. Yet, as part two of Selected Reviews demonstrates, Simms ranged much more widely in the intellectual milieu. Such cultural and political topics as the 1848 revolution in France, the history of the literary essay, the roles of women in the American Revolution, and the activities of the southern convention in Nashville in 1850 captured Simms's attention. Moltke-Hansen's introduction to part two examines Simms's roles in, and responses to, the Romantic critical revolution and the other revolutions then roiling Europe and America.</P>

MECHANICS OF MATERIALS BRIEF EDITION by Gere and Goodno presents thorough and in-depth coverage of the essential topics required for an introductory course in Mechanics of Materials. This user-friendly text gives complete discussions with an emphasis on "need to know" material with a minimization of "nice to know" content. Topics considered beyond the scope of a first course in the subject matter have been eliminated to better tailor the text to the introductory course. Continuing the tradition of hallmark clarity and accuracy found in all 7 full editions of Mechanics of Materials, this text develops student understanding along with analytical and problem-solving skills. The main topics include analysis and design of structural members subjected to tension, compression, torsion, bending, and more.
