How the West Attracts China and the World --Notes --Acknowledgments --IndexAfter two centuries of ascent, the United States finds itself in economic decline. Some advise America to cure its woes alone. But the road to isolation leads inevitably to the end of U.S. leadership in the international system, warns Richard Rosecrance in this bold and novel book. Instead, Rosecrance calls for the United States to join forces with the European Union and create a transatlantic economic union. Such a U.S.-Europe community would unblock arteries of trade and investment, rejuvenate the West, and enable Western countries to deal with East Asian challenges from a position of unity and economic strength. Exploring the possibilities for such a merger, the author writes, "The European Union offers a means of creating larger units without recourse to force. A connection between Europe and North America could eventually grow into an agglomeration of states, drawing China and the East into a new network of countries. In this way East will eventually join the West." Through this great merger the author offers a positive vision of the future in which members of a tightly knit Western alliance regain economic health and attract Eastern nations to join a new and worldwide international order.EconomicsUnited StatesForeign economic relationsEuropean Union countriesEuropean Union countriesForeign economic relationsUnited StatesEconomics.337.7304Rosecrance Richard N249811MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792016603321The resurgence of the West3789583UNINA05354nam 22005533 450 991102019070332120230728080304.09781394229635139422963197813942296111394229615(MiAaPQ)EBC7275472(Au-PeEL)EBL7275472(OCoLC)1430211424(OCoLC-P)1430211424(CaSebORM)9781786308252(CKB)27861007800041(Perlego)4195923(OCoLC)1391443098(EXLCZ)992786100780004120230728d2023 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierIGA1st ed.Newark :John Wiley & Sons, Incorporated,2023.©2023.1 online resource (230 pages)Print version: Bouclier, Robin IGA: Non-Invasive Coupling with FEM and Regularization of Digital Image Correlation Problems, Volume 2 Newark : John Wiley & Sons, Incorporated,c2023 9781786308252 Cover -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Contents -- Preface -- Chapter 1.

Now, almost twenty years after its creation, substantial works are being reported in IGA, making it very competitive in scientific computing. This book proposes to use IGA jointly with standard finite element methods (FEM), presenting IGA as a projection of FEM on a more regular reduced basis. By shedding new light on how IGA relates to FEM, we can see how IGA can be implemented on top of an FE code in order to improve the solution of problems that require more regularity. This is illustrated by using IGA with FEM in a non-invasive fashion to perform efficient and robust multiscale global/local simulations in solid mechanics. Furthermore, we show that IGA can regularize the inverse problem of FE digital image correlation in experimental mechanics.Isogeometric analysisFinite element methodData processingIsogeometric analysis.Finite element methodData processing.518/.25Bouclier Robin1641973Passieux Jean-Charles1331099MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911020190703321IGA4420820UNINA
