Sommario/riassunto |
|
In 1848 seventy-six slaves from the nation's capital hid aboard the schooner Pearl in an attempt to sail to freedom in Pennsylvania. When bad weather forced them to anchor, the slaves and the ship's crew were captured and returned to Washington. This work ranges from the preparations for escape to the participants' trial. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book presents various dynamic processes in non-uniform piezoceramic cylindrical and spherical bodies based on numerical methods. It discusses different variants of nonhomogeneous structural polarized piezoceramic materials in the shape of cylinders and spheres, and highlights the validation of the reliability of the results obtained by numerical calculations. The content is based on an outlined theory and methods of three-dimensional electroelasticity problems. |
