Seismic Analysis and Design using the Endurance Time Method

Seismic Analysis and Design using the Endurance Time Method

The endurance time method (ETM) is a seismic analysis procedure in which intensifying dynamic excitations are used as the loading function and it provides many unique benefits in the design of structures. It can largely reduce the computational effort needed for the response history analysis of structures. This aids in the practical application of response history-based analysis in problems involving very large models and/or requiring numerous analyses to achieve optimal design goals. A single response history analysis through ETM provides an estimate of the system response at the entire range of seismic intensities of interest thus making it ideal for applications such as seismic risk assessment life-cycle cost analysis and value-based seismic design. Conceptual simplicity also makes ETM a useful tool for preliminary response history analysis of structural systems. Features: Presents full coverage of the subject from basic concepts to advanced applied topics. Provides a coherent text on endurance time excitation functions that are essential in endurance time analysis. Seismic Analysis and Design using the Endurance Time Method serves as a comprehensive resource for students researchers and practicing structural engineers who want to familiarize themselves with the concepts and applications of the endurance time method (ETM) as a useful tool for dynamic structural analysis.

Nutrition and Exercise Immunology

Nutrition and Exercise Immunology

Like an army of millions ready to defend its territory the human immune system acts as the body's primary line of defense-a complex network of interacting cells that protects us from pathogens and other foreign substances. But many components of the immune system exhibit change after prolonged heavy exertion indicating that it is suppressed and stressed albeit transiently following prolonged endurance exercise. For marathon runners distance swimmers and any other endurance athlete who undergoes repeated cycles of heavy exertion a weakened immune system could lead to health complications such as respiratory infection. As a result interest in various nutrient supplements with the potential to counter exercise-induced immunosuppression has grown. Nutrition and Exercise Immunology reviews the link between nutrition and immune function with special application to athletic endeavor. Written by respected researchers in sports medicine and exercise immunology this text covers topics such as carbohydrates and the immune response to prolonged exertion; protein exercise and immunity; and vitamins immunity and infection risk in athletes. It also takes a look at future directions in nutrition and exercise immunology. For sports medicine professionals dietitians nutritionists exercise immunologists as well as endurance athletes Nutrition and Exercise Immunology provides an important and in-depth look into this exciting new area of scientific research.

Advanced Concepts of Bearing Technology Rolling Bearing Analysis Fifth Edition

Advanced Concepts of Bearing Technology Rolling Bearing Analysis Fifth Edition

For the last four decades Tedric Harris' Rolling Bearing Analysis has been the bible for engineers involved in rolling bearing technology. Why do so many students and practicing engineers rely on this book? The answer is simple: because of its complete coverage from low- to high-speed applications and full derivations of the underlying mathematics from a leader in the field. The fifth edition of this classic reference is divided conveniently into two volumes each focused on a specialized area of bearing technology. This option allows you to select the coverage that is best suited to your needs. The second of two books Advanced Concepts of Bearing Technology steps up the level to more dynamic and complex loading more extreme operating conditions and higher-speed applications. The authors examine several topics that are unique to the book including mathematical relationships for internal load distribution under conditions of high speed combined radial axial and moment loading as well as the effects of raceway and roller profiling. They also delve into the mathematical development of rolling element-raceway lubricant film thickness and contact friction the stress-life method for calculating bearing fatigue endurance and the effects of shaft and supporting structure flexure on bearing loading and deflection. Advanced Concepts of Bearing Technology is the perfect aid for analyzing complex performance and fatigue-life phenomena in advanced applications. | Advanced Concepts of Bearing Technology Rolling Bearing Analysis Fifth Edition

Ergonomics for Rehabilitation Professionals

Ergonomics for Rehabilitation Professionals

Despite the apparently distinct differences between the disciplines of ergonomics and rehabilitation they deal with the same issues although at different ends of the spectrum. Keeping this in mind Ergonomics for Rehabilitation Professionals explores their philosophies and goals their parallel divergent and complementary aspects. It traces the origin of each field and examines the role of ergonomics in rehabilitation. The book begins with a theoretical and conceptual review of ergonomics and its role in rehabilitation. It covers anthropometry and its impact on human biomechanics allowing readers to grasp complex concepts visualize what forces are acting where and understand the consequence of this force. A chapter on tissue mechanics provides an understanding of the effect of the overall load on the tissues and a rationale for possible mechanisms of injury that can be used to design prevention and treatment methods. The book explores the relevant physiological issues looking at the energy cost of activities and the data on strength and endurance. It discusses whole body biomechanics using an approach that supplies intuitive understanding of the effects of force gravity and physiological variables in an integrated manner. Addressing theoretical underpinnings with scientific rigor the book covers a broad range of topics always emphasizing design in rehabilitation. The editor’s organization of the material develops concepts in concentric circles with increasing radii sequencing ideas and exploring them from simple to complex. This selection of topics from two vast and seemingly diverse disciplines provides the tools for setting realistic goals and developing the strategies to achieve them.
