Presents a comprehensive overview of structural and stress analysis Includes numerous worked examples and end-of-chapter problems Extensively illustrated to help visualize concepts Contains a greater focus on digital trends in structural engineering, including newer computer analysis methods and how to check output of such methods to avoid ?black-box' engineering Contains additional worked examples on plastic analysis of frames, bending moment distribution and displacement evaluations on collapse mechanics Introducescontent on statics to ensure that students know the basic concepts and can understand the equilibrium principles that govern all structures as well as the principles of the mechanisms involved in computer-based calculations.

The use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has emerged as a powerful tool for the understanding of fluid mechanics in multiphase reactors, which are widely used in the chemical, petroleum, mining, food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. This book helps understand the basis and application of CFD in multiphase flow.

Highlights the practical and general aspects of the corrosion of aluminium alloys with many illustrations and references. This book allows the reader who is not very familiar with aluminium to understand the metallurgical, chemical and physical features of the aluminium alloys.

ARM-based Microcontroller Projects Using mbed gives readers a good understanding of the basic architecture and programming of ARM-based microcontrollers using ARM's mbed software. The book presents the technology through a project-based approach with clearly structured sections that enable readers to use or modify them for their application. Sections include: Project title, Description of the project, Aim of the project, Block diagram of the project, Circuit diagram of the project, Construction of the project, Program listing, and a Suggestions for expansion. This book will be a valuable resource for professional engineers, students and researchers in computer engineering, computer science, automatic control engineering and mechatronics.

Suitable for students of chemical engineering, this work covers the various aspects of process design, operations, safety, loss prevention and equipment selection and more.

Statistics for Biomedical Engineers and Scientists: How to Analyze and Visualize Data provides an intuitive understanding of the concepts of basic statistics, with a focus on solving biomedical problems.
