Modeling, analysis, and simulation-everything vibration engineering students need to succeed, including late-breaking advances in this ever-changing field

Advanced Mechanical Vibration covers modeling and analysis of vibrating systems with damping and gyroscopic effects, dynamics of combined distributed-lumped systems, and approximate methods for solutions of complex vibration problems, which are often overlooked in other such textbooks. Case studies and pre-coded MATLAB toolboxes for vibrati...

Askeland/Wright/Wheatley's THE SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING OF MATERIALS, 8th Edition, aids engineering students in understanding the relationship between the structure, processing and properties of materials. With a wealth of material, instructors can tailor their focus to emphasize specific areas such as materials, mechanical behavior or physical properties. The text serves as a comprehensive reference for future courses in manufacturing, design or materials selection. New chapters on biomateria...

When the Allied Forces arrived in the Netherlands after Operation Market Garden, the country’s long-awaited liberation from National Socialist occupation finally came in the summer of 1945.

Basic Space Innovation explores the dawn of a new era in business, driven by the groundbreaking advancements in space technology that are set to redefine our future.

Fossils At A Glance is written for students taking an introductory level course in paleontology. Short chapters introduce the main topics in the modern study of fossils. The most important fossil groups are discussed, from microfossils through invertebrates to vertebrates and plants, followed by a brief narrative of life on Earth.

Diagrams are central to the book and allow the reader to see most of the important data "at a glance". Each topic covers two pages and provides a self-contained sui...
