Sommario/riassunto

The statics and mechanics of structures form a core aspect of civil engineering. This book provides an introduction to the subject, starting from classic hand-calculation types of analysis and gradually advancing to a systematic form suitable for computer implementation. It starts with statically determinate structures in the form of trusses, beams and frames. Instability is discussed in the form of the column problem - both the ideal column and the imperfect column used in actual column design. The theory of statically indeterminate structures is then introduced, and the force and deformation methods are explained and illustrated. An important aspect of the book’s approach is the systematic development of the theory in a form suitable for computer implementation using finite elements. This development is supported by two small computer programs, MiniTruss and MiniFrame, which permit static analysis of trusses and frames, as well as linearized stability analysis. The book’s final section presents related strength of materials subjects in greater detail; these include stress and strain,



failure criteria, and normal and shear stresses in general beam flexure and in beam torsion. The book is well-suited as a textbook for a two-semester introductory course on structures. .

Sommario/riassunto

This is an open access book. This textbook contains about 200 fully solved problems in analytical and numerical methods for nonlinear osccillations. These comprise all the end-of-chapter problems in Ali H. Nayfeh and Dean T. Mook’s famous textbook Nonliear Oscillations. Mathematical software are adopted to make those solutions more accessible from a graphical point of view. This book can be adopted as a supplement to course work study for graduates or senior undergraduates. Since many exercise problems are adapted from scientific research papers, this book also has a good reference value for scientists and engineers who work in nonlinear vibration.

Sommario/riassunto

The book addresses the intersection of artificial intelligence, sustainability, and solidarity in the context of promoting European values, offering critical insights from various branches of law, including European Union Law, International Law, Public Law, and Private Law. This compilation is a result of the 14th edition of the prestigious International Conference “Perspectives of Business Law in the Third Millennium” (businesslawconference.ro), held in November 2024 in Bucharest, and brings together contributions from leading scholars, practitioners, and policymakers. Technological advancements and their trajectory, along with ecological challenges, have brought together experts to debate the crossroads at which Europe stands between innovation and social responsibility. The work analyses how emerging technologies, particularly artificial intelligence, influence economic, social, and legal processes, shaping new directions for sustainable development. It brings to the forefront both the harmonisation of technological progress with fundamental European principles and the importance of solidarity and social cohesion. The authors of this collective volume have not overlooked the role of public policies and regulations in ensuring fair transitions towards a sustainable digital economy, where human rights and social inclusion are paramount. Additionally, the book highlights scientific novelties such as the public domain of cyber-space-time, the challenges and opportunities of balanced integration of new technologies, and underscores the importance of collaboration between states, institutions, and the private sector to build a future founded on responsible innovation. This work is aimed at academics, researchers, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and even students, as well as all those interested in the impact of technology on society and the economy. It is also a valuable resource for specialists in public policy, international law, European studies, and sustainability.
