Theoretical And Computational Acoustics '99, Proceedings Of The 4th Ictca Conference (With Cd-rom)


Book Description

The ICTCA conference provides an interdisciplinary forum for active researchers in academia and industry who are of varying backgrounds to discuss the state-of-the-art developments and results in theoretical and computational acoustics and related topics. The papers presented at the meeting cover acoustical problems of common interest across disciplines and their accurate mathematical and numerical modelling.The present book collects papers that were presented at the 4th meeting and printed in the Journal of Computational Acoustics. There are about 120 full research articles on various subjects, such as wave propagation theory and numerical modelling, sound propagation, vibrations and noise generation, underwater acoustics, engineering seismology, ultrasonic field synthesis and modelling, as well as computational methods, inverse problems and tomography, shallow water acoustics and environmental/bottom parameter extraction. A CD-Rom is attached that allows readers to browse through articles and print those of interest to them.




International Digital Imaging Correlation Society


Book Description

This collection represents a single volume of technical papers presented at the Annual International DIC Society Conference and SEM Fall Conference organized by the Society for Experimental Mechanics and Sandia National Laboratories and held in Philadelphia, PA, November 7-10, 2016. The volume presents early findings from experimental, standards development and various other investigations concerning digital image correlation - an important area within Experimental Mechanics. The area of Digital Image Correlation has been an integral track within the SEM Annual Conference spearheaded by Professor Michael Sutton from the University of South Carolina. In 2016, the SEM and Sandia joined their collaborative strengths to launch a standing fall meeting focusing specifically on developments in the area of Digital Image Correlation. The contributed papers within this volume span numerous technical aspects of DIC including standards development for the industry.




Advanced Magnetohydrodynamics


Book Description

Following on from the companion volume Principles of Magnetohydrodynamics, this textbook analyzes the applications of plasma physics to thermonuclear fusion and plasma astrophysics from the single viewpoint of MHD. This approach turns out to be ever more powerful when applied to streaming plasmas (the vast majority of visible matter in the Universe), toroidal plasmas (the most promising approach to fusion energy), and nonlinear dynamics (where it all comes together with modern computational techniques and extreme transonic and relativistic plasma flows). The textbook interweaves theory and explicit calculations of waves and instabilities of streaming plasmas in complex magnetic geometries. It is ideally suited to advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in plasma physics and astrophysics.
