Free Download Variational Methods in Theoretical Mechanics by J. T. Oden , J. N. Reddy
English | PDF | 1976 | 313 Pages | ISBN : N/A | 21.2 MB
This is a textbook written for use in a graduate-level course for students of mechanics and engineering science. It is designed to cover the essential features of modern variational methods and to demonstrate how a number of basic mathematical concepts can be used to produce a unified theory of variational mechanics. As prerequisite to using this text, we assume that the student is equipped with an introductory course in functional analysis at a level roughly equal to that covered, for example, in Kolmogorov and Fomin (Functional Analysis, Vol. I, Graylock, Rochester, 1957) and possibly a graduate-level course in continuum mechanics. Numerous references to supplementary material are listed throughout the book. We are indebted to Professor Jim Douglas of the University of Chicago, who read an earlier version of the manuscript and whose detailed suggestions were extremely helpful in preparing the final draft. He also gratefully acknowledge that much of our own research work on variational theory was supported by the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research. He are indebted to Mr. Ming-Goei Sheu for help in proofreading. Finally, we wish to express thanks to Mrs. Marilyn Gude for her excellent and pains taking job of typing the manuscript. J. T. ODEN J.

Free Download Variational Methods in Partially Ordered Spaces by Alfred Göpfert , Hassan Riahi , Christiane Tammer , Constantin Zǎlinescu
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 576 Pages | ISBN : 303136533X | 78.1 MB
In mathematical modeling of processes occurring in logistics, management science, operations research, networks, mathematical finance, medicine, and control theory, one often encounters optimization problems involving more than one objective function so that Multiobjective Optimization (or Vector Optimization, initiated by W. Pareto) has received new impetus. The growing interest in vector optimization problems, both from the theoretical point of view and as it concerns applications to real world optimization problems, asks for a general scheme which embraces several existing developments and stimulates new ones.

Free Download Sam Wolfe, "Variation and Change in Gallo-Romance Grammar "
English | ISBN: 0198840179 | 2020 | 496 pages | PDF | 10 MB
This volume offers a wide-range of case studies on variation and change in the sub-family of the Romance languages that includes French and Occitan: Gallo-Romance. Both standard and non-standard Gallo-Romance data can be of enormous value to studies of morphosyntactic variation and change, yet, as the volume demonstrates, non-standard and comparative Gallo-Romance data have often been lacking in both synchronic and diachronic studies. Following an introduction that sets out the conceptual background, the volume is divided into three parts whose chapters explore a variety of topics in the domains of sentence structure, the verb complex, and word structure. The empirical foundation of the volume is exceptionally rich, drawing on standard and non-standard data from French, Occitan, Francoprovençal, Picard, Wallon, and Norman. This diversity is also reflected in the theoretical and conceptual approaches adopted, which span traditional philology, sociolinguistics, formal morphological and syntactic theory, semantics, and discourse-pragmatics. The volume will thus be an indispensable tool for researchers and students in French and (Gallo-) Romance linguistics as well as for readers interested in grammatical theory, sociolinguistics, and historical linguistics.

Free Download Vanadium-Based Nanomaterials for Electrochemical Energy Storage by Liqiang Mai , Lin Xu , Wei Chen
English | EPUB (True) | 2023 | 320 Pages | ISBN : 3031447956 | 120.9 MB
This book presents a comprehensive review of recent developments in vanadium-based nanomaterials for next-generation electrochemical energy storage. The basic electrochemical energy storage and conversion equipment are elaborated, and the vanadium-based nanomaterials of the synthesis approaches, characterizations, electrochemical storage mechanisms, and performance optimization tactics are discussed. Examples are taken from various chemical energy storage devices to expound the functions of advanced vanadium-based nanomaterials for specific applications. Finally, various challenges and perspectives on vanadium-based nanomaterial development as an emerging energy storage solution are considered.

Free Download VEE Pro: Practical Graphical Programming by Robert B. Angus , Thomas E. Hulbert
English | PDF | 453 Pages | 2005 | ISBN : 1852338709 | 6 MB
This book is written based upon VEE Pro Version 6.2. It contains eighteen lessons and six appendixes. The labs within the lessons introduce ActiveX support, MATLAB® functionality and display capabilities, and support for the new GPIB converters. VEE Pro Version 6.2 is backwards compatible to at least VEE version 5.01. The labs of all eighteen lessons included in this book have been verified, opened, and run in versions 5.01, 6.01, and 6.2. Programs that work in versions 6 will work similarly in versions 5. Previous editions of this book have been used successfully with three groups of students applying VEE to laboratory experiments, manufacturing systems, and process-control applications. VEE Pro is popular among technicians, technologists, and design engineers as well as with engineers and scientists. We have prepared this book with the former group in mind. For those of you who are interested in learning VEE Pro in greater depth than is presented in this book or are designing complex analysis and monitoring systems, there are four excellent books: * VEE Pro User's Guide; Chapter 12 (Platform Specifics and Web Monitoring) * VEE Pro User's Guide; Additional Lab Exercises (Appendix A) * VEE Pro Advanced Programming Techniques * Agilent IO Libraries Installation and Configuration Guide for Windows Recent improvements from Agilent can be accessed via thewww.agilent.comWeb site. The latest VEE Pro developments and on-line HELP are included as well.
