Analysis and Design of Elastic Beams: Computational Methods By Walter D. Pilkey(auth.)
2002 | 474 Pages | ISBN: 0471381527 | PDF | 4 MB
State-of-the-art coverage of modern computational methods for the analysis and design of beams Analysis and Design of Elastic Beams presents computer models and applications related to thin-walled beams such as those used in mechanical and aerospace designs, where thin, lightweight structures with high strength are needed. This book will enable readers to compute the cross-sectional properties of individual beams with arbitrary cross-sectional shapes, to apply a general-purpose computer analysis of a complete structure to determine the forces and moments in the individual members, and to use a unified approach for calculating the normal and shear stresses, as well as deflections, for those members' cross sections. In addition, this book augments a solid foundation in the basic structural design theory of beams by: * Providing coverage of thin-wall structure analysis and optimization techniques * Applying computer numerical methods to classical design methods * Developing computational solutions for cross-sectional properties and stresses using finite element analyses Including access to an associated Web site with software for the analysis and design of any cross-sectional shape, Analysis and Design of Elastic Beams: Computational Methods is an essential reference for mechanical, aerospace, and civil engineers and designers working in the automotive, ship, and aerospace industries in product and process design, machine design, structural design, and design optimization, as well as students and researchers in these areas.Content: Chapter 1 Beams in Bending (pages 1-39): Chapter 2 Beam Elements (pages 40-111): Chapter 3 Beam Systems (pages 112-152): Chapter 4 Finite Elements for Cross?Sectional Analysis (pages 153-166): Chapter 5 Saint?Venant Torsion (pages 167-229): Chapter 6 Beams under Transverse Shear Loads (pages 230-311): Chapter 7 Restrained Warping of Beams (pages 312-368): Chapter 8 Analysis of Stress (pages 369-382): Chapter 9 Rational B?Spline Curves (pages 383-398): Chapter 10 Shape Optimization of Thin?Walled Sections (pages 399-421):

Analysis of Health Surveys By Edward L. Korn, Barry I. Graubard(auth.)
1999 | 401 Pages | ISBN: 0471137731 | PDF | 9 MB
How to apply statistical methods to survey data--a guide to effective analysis of health surveys. With large health surveys becoming increasingly available for public use, researchers with little experience in survey methods are often faced with analyzing data from surveys to address scientific and programmatic questions. This practical book provides statistical techniques for use in survey analysis, making health surveys accessible to statisticians, biostatisticians, epidemiologists, and health researchers. The authors clearly explain the theory and methods of survey analysis along with real-world applications. They draw on their work at the National Institutes of Health as well as up-to-date information from across the literature to present: * The sampling background necessary to understand health surveys. * The application of such techniques as t-tests, linear regression, logistic regression, and survival analysis to survey data. * The use of sample weights in survey data analysis. * Dealing with complications in variance estimation in large health surveys. * Applications involving cross-sectional, longitudinal, and multiple cross-sectional surveys, and the use of surveys to perform population- based case-control analyses. * Guidance on the correct use of statistical methods found in software packages. * Extensive bibliography.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1-7): Chapter 2 Basic Survey Methodology (pages 8-60): Chapter 3 Statistical Analysis with Survey Data (pages 61-158): Chapter 4 Sample Weights and Imputation (pages 159-191): Chapter 5 Additional Issues in Variance Estimation (pages 192-234): Chapter 6 Cross?Sectional Analyses (pages 235-259): Chapter 7 Analysis of Longitudinal Surveys (pages 260-277): Chapter 8 Analyses Using Multiple Surveys (pages 278-303): Chapter 9 Population?Based Case?Control Studies (pages 304-331):
