Analysis of Structures by Matrix Methods

Analysis of Structures by Matrix Methods

The analysis of engineering structures has always been a challenge to engineers and in the past classical methods were used to quantify the response of a structure to the applied forces. These methods were suitable for the analysis of relatively simple structures that could be solved by hand calculations but complicated structures had to be simplified to a model that could be solved by classical methods. The results however were approximations depending on the modifications made to the structure as well as on the experience and judgement of the analyst. These limitations led to the derivation of the slope-deflection equations for continuous beams and later formulation of the moment distribution method. With the advent of electronic computers systematic procedures for the analysis of structures have been developed. Computer programs help in obtaining required solutions to the simultaneous equations in the case of structures where the number of equations is large and hand calculations are not suitable. The detailed work with simultaneous equations can be made in a general and compact form by using matrix notation leading to the development of the matrix methods of structural analysis. This book deals with the analysis of engineering structures made of skeletal members and covers the type of structures that are commonly used in practice. It builds up on the subject matter dealing with matrix algebra analysis of bar elements special forms of members stability and vibration of structures and pin-connected rigid-plane and 3D frames. It treats the important step of formulating the overall stiffness matrix of a structure in a systematic and straightforward manner and uses simple mathematical approaches wherever possible. The book is reader friendly particularly for beginners who have no prior knowledge in this subject and can also be used as a textbook by undergraduate and postgraduate students studying for a degree in civil structural or mechanical engineering as well as by practicing engineers who have not studied this subject but are using software packages that deal with the analysis of engineering structures. | Analysis of Structures by Matrix Methods

Nature's Matrix Linking Agriculture Biodiversity Conservation and Food Sovereignty

Nature's Matrix Linking Agriculture Biodiversity Conservation and Food Sovereignty

When first published in 2009 Nature’s Matrix set out a radical new approach to the conservation of biodiversity. This new edition pushes the frontier of the biodiversity/agriculture debate further making an even stronger case for the need to transform agriculture and support small- and medium-scale agroecology and food sovereignty. In the first edition the authors set out a radical new approach to the conservation of biodiversity. This is based on the concept of a landscape as a matrix of diverse small-scale agricultural ecosystems providing opportunities to enhance conservation under the stewardship of local farmers. This contrasts with the alternative view of industrial-scale farms and large protected areas which exclude local people. However since then the debate around conservation and agriculture has developed significantly and this is reflected in this updated second edition. The text is thoroughly revised including: a reorganization of chapters with new and timely topics introduced updates to the discussion of agroecology and food sovereignty bringing it in line with the current debates greater coverage of the role of agroecology in particular agroforestry as an important component of climate change adaptation and mitigation highlighting recent studies on the role of intensive agriculture in climate change and loss of biodiversity and more attention given to the discussion of land sparing versus land sharing. By integrating the ecological aspects of agriculture and conservation biology with a political and social analysis as well as historical perspective the book continues to set a progressive agenda and appeals to a wide range of students and professionals. | Nature's Matrix Linking Agriculture Biodiversity Conservation and Food Sovereignty

The Matrix of Stem Cell Research An Approach to Rethinking Science in Society

The Matrix of Stem Cell Research An Approach to Rethinking Science in Society

Stem cell research has been a problematic endeavour. For the past twenty years it has attracted moral controversies in both the public and the professional sphere. The research involves not only laboratories clinics and people but ethics industries jurisprudence and markets. Today it contributes to the development of new therapies and affects increasingly many social arenas. The matrix approach introduced in this book offers a new understanding of this science in its relation to society. The contributions are multidisciplinary and intersectional illustrating how agency and influence between science and society go both ways. Conceptually this volume presents a situated and reflexive approach for philosophy and sociology of the life sciences. The practices that are part of stem cell research are dispersed and the concepts that tie them together are tenuous; there are persistent problems with the validation of findings and the ontology of the stem cell is elusive. The array of applications shapes a growing bioeconomy that is dependent on patient donations of tissues and embryos consumers and industrial support. In this volume it is argued that this research now denotes not a specific field but a flexible web of intersecting practices discourses and agencies. To capture significant parts of this complex reality this book presents recent findings from researchers who have studied in-depth aspects of this matrix of stem cell research. This volume presents state-of-the-art examinations from senior and junior scholars in disciplines from humanities and laboratory research to various social sciences highlighting particular normative and epistemological intersections. The book will appeal to scholars as well as wider audiences interested in developments in life science and society interactions. The novel matrix approach and the accessible case studies make this an excellent resource for science and society courses. | The Matrix of Stem Cell Research An Approach to Rethinking Science in Society

The Pixelated Prisoner Prison Video Links Court ‘Appearance’ and the Justice Matrix

The Pixelated Prisoner Prison Video Links Court ‘Appearance’ and the Justice Matrix

Technological linkages between justice and law enforcement agencies are radically altering criminal process and access to justice for prisoners. Video links integral to an increasingly networked justice matrix enable the custodial appearance of prisoners in remote courts and are becoming the dominant form of court appearance for incarcerated defendants. This book argues that the incorporation of such technologies into prisons is not without consequence: technologies make a critical difference to prisoners’ experiences of criminal justice. By focusing on the prison endpoint and engaging with the population most affected by video links – the prisoners themselves – this book interrogates the legal and conceptual shifts brought about by the technology’s displacement of physical court appearance. The central argument is that custodial appearance has created a heightened zone of demarcation between prisoners and courtroom participants. This demarcation is explored through the transformed spatial corporeal and visual relationships. The cumulative demarcations challenge procedural justice and profoundly recompose prisoners’ legal experiences in ways not necessarily recognised by policy-makers. | The Pixelated Prisoner Prison Video Links Court ‘Appearance’ and the Justice Matrix

Generalized Sylvester Equations Unified Parametric Solutions

Generalized Sylvester Equations Unified Parametric Solutions

Provides One Unified Formula That Gives Solutions to Several Types of GSEsGeneralized Sylvester equations (GSEs) are applied in many fields including applied mathematics systems and control and signal processing. Generalized Sylvester Equations: Unified Parametric Solutions presents a unified parametric approach for solving various types of GSEs. In an extremely neat and elegant matrix form the book provides a single unified parametric solution formula for all the types of GSEs which further reduces to a specific clear vector form when the parameter matrix F in the equations is a Jordan matrix. Particularly when the parameter matrix F is diagonal the reduced vector form becomes extremely simple. The first chapter introduces several types of GSEs and gives a brief overview of solutions to GSEs. The two subsequent chapters then show the importance of GSEs using four typical control design applications and discuss the F‐coprimeness of a pair of polynomial matrices. The next several chapters deal with parametric solutions to GSEs. The final two chapters present analytical solutions to normal Sylvester equations (NSEs) including the well‐known continuous‐ and discrete‐time Lyapunov equations. An appendix provides the proofs of some theorems. The book can be used as a reference for graduate and senior undergraduate courses in applied mathematics and control systems analysis and design. It will also be useful to readers interested in research and applications based on Sylvester equations. | Generalized Sylvester Equations Unified Parametric Solutions
