    Book SynopsisThis book comprises papers that were presented at the Symposium on Configurational Mechanics, during the 5th EUROMECH Soil Mechanics Conference in Thessaloniki in August 2003. Configurational (or material) mechanics -in contrast to Newtonian mechanics in Euclidean space- concerns any sort of change or "motion" in the material configuration. This framework provides a novel and unifying view on otherwise diverse disciplines like fracture mechanics, phase transitions, plasticity and dislocation theory. In addition, configurational mechanics can be used in computations because it provides a fruitful interpretation of the field equations in the discretized space.This volume contains eleven contributions from specialists from around Europe Articles concern both theoretical and computational mechanics, electroplasticity, magnetoelasticity, elastoplasticity as well as granular, multiphase and micropolar media.Table of ContentsForeword; A critical assessment of the theory and applications of material-configurational forces; On the impact of configurational mechanics on computational mechanics; Topics in configurational mechanics of dielectrics; Configurational forces and couples in micropolar continua; On the configurational thermomechanics of nonchemically reacting solid–fluid mixtures; On consistent weakly-nonlocal modeling of granular media; Piezomagnetic tensors symmetries: an unifying tentative approach; Approaches to finite elasto-plasticity with dislocations; Branching dynamics of brittle fracture; On the dynamic fracture for a curved crack; On the use of material forces in the finite element method

This work shows that substantial water quality improvements could be achieved through a so-called 3-Step Stategic Approach. The frameworks developed in this research for managing water on-site and at centralized and de-centralized levels can be used in re-designing current systems or designing new systems thatmake optimal use of wastewater components whilst minimising pollution.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction; Chapter 2: Inventory of Existing Water Management Practices in Harare, Zimbabwe; Chapter 3: The Impact of Urbanisation on the Water Quality of Lake Chivero, Zimbabwe; Chapter 4: A Strategic Framework for Managing Wastewater: A Case Study of Harare, Zimbabwe; Chapter 5: Options for Onsite Management of Wastewater in Harare, Zimbabwe; Chapter 6: Options for the Decentralised Management of Wastewater in Harare, Zimbabwe; Chapter 7: Centralised Management of Wastewater in Harare, Zimbabwe: Current Practice and Future Options; Chapter 8: Effluent Polishing via Pasture Irrigation in Harare, Zimbabwe; Chapter 9: A Proposal for the Sustainable Management of Wastewater in Harare, Zimbabwe

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis text presents the key findings of the International Symposium held in Delft in 2003, which explored the process of shallow flows. Shallow flows are found in lowland rivers, lakes, estuaries, bays, coastal areas and in density-stratified atmospheres, and may be observed in puddles, as in oceans. They impact on the life and work of a wide variety of readers, who are here provided with a clear overview of the subject. Shallow flows are intrinsically turbulent. On one hand, there are strongly three-dimensional, small-scale turbulent motions and on the other hand, large-scale quasi-two-dimensional turbulence. This book explains and examines these differences and their effects with sections on transport processes in shallow flows; shallow jets, wakes and mixing layers; stratified and rotating flows in ocean and atmosphere; river and channel flows; and numerical modelling and turbulence closure techniques. The reader is provided with the pick of current studies and a fresh approach to the subject, with expert examination of a fascinating and crucial phenomenon of our world's water systems.

    Book SynopsisRock joint behaviour impacts many branches of engineering including surface and underground mining, dam foundations, tunnelling for hydro power and transport, petroleum reservoirs and nuclear waste storage. The subject is in a very active stage of development, and engineers, geologists, and scientists involved in these developments have indicated by their 110 papers that rock joints are of great importance in many fields of engineering. Selected papers span five continents and thirty countries. The subjects covered include geological aspects of joint origin and morphology, mechanical behaviour such as shear strength and deformability, hydraulic behaviour, and dynamic behaviour. The influence of water flow on frictional strength and the effect of joint deformation on water flow are also strongly represented. Great activity is evident in many countries in computer modelling for solving complicated engineering problems where joint behaviour is important. Articles describe the modelling of joints under dams, around wellbores, in petroleum reservoirs, in open pit mines, and around tunnels, shafts and nuclear waste repository excavations. The conference proceedings forms a unique collection of keynote and specialist articles on all aspects of rock joint behaviour.
