Springer International Publishing AG The Pre-Fabrication of Building Facades
Book SynopsisThis book compares two buildings with different technologies and distinct environment from the combined viewpoints of civil engineering and architecture. The first is the most recent building of Columbia University in New York, the Northwest Science Building, a project designed by Rafael Moneo and Dan Brodkin of Ove Arup. The second one is the Burgo Tower in Oporto, by Eduardo Souto Moura and Rui Furtado of AFA, a building that brings a new perspective to the use of prefabrication technologies with local traditional construction systems. With the detailed analyses of recognized researchers in civil engineering and architecture, this book is a reflection upon the problems and solutions in the design and construction process of a prefabricated building system. This volume, like those to follow, brings together, building research and building design practice to enhance the knowledge of complementarity areas involved in construction, engineering and architecture. This is the first book in a new series "Building Research: Design, Construction and Technologies" which aims to bridge scientific research and professional practice to understand the Building Design problems. In each edition, one or two case studies (recognized buildings in the international design panorama) are analyzed with their authors to assess the design process and the construction development. To understand the problems involved, researchers, engineers and architects, are asked to contribute to this analysis with essays on building research issues, as building technology, construction management, acoustics, maintenance or prefabrication.Table of ContentsPreface, by Bárbara Rangel, José Manuel Amorim Faria, and Vitor Abrantes.- Case Study 1, Burgo Tower, by Eduardo Souto Moura.- Images.- Sketch models, by Eduardo Souto Moura Studio.- Construction images, by Eduardo Souto Moura Studio.- Final images, by Luís Ferreira Alves, Photographer.- Interview, by Bárbara Rangel, José Amorim Faria, and João Pedro Poças Martins.- Drawings.- Concept sketches, by Eduardo Souto Moura.- General Arrangement Drawings, by Eduardo Souto Moura Studio.- Production Information Set, by Eduardo Souto Moura Studio.- Articles.- Northwest Science Building: circumstantial evidence, by Joan Ockman.- Acoustics and noise control within school buildings, by Diogo Mateus, Andreia Pereira and Vítor Abrantes.- Maintenance and maintainability of university buildings, by Rui Calejo.- Drawings in the air, by Jeffrey M.

Springer International Publishing AG Programming Phase-Field Modeling
Book SynopsisThis textbook provides a fast-track pathway to numerical implementation of phase-field modeling—a relatively new paradigm that has become the method of choice for modeling and simulation of microstructure evolution in materials. It serves as a cookbook for the phase-field method by presenting a collection of codes that act as foundations and templates for developing other models with more complexity. Programming Phase-Field Modeling uses the Matlab/Octave programming package, simpler and more compact than other high-level programming languages, providing ease of use to the widest audience. Particular attention is devoted to the computational efficiency and clarity during development of the codes, which allows the reader to easily make the connection between the mathematical formulism and the numerical implementation of phase-field models. The background materials provided in each case study also provide a forum for undergraduate level modeling-simulations courses as part of their curriculum.Table of ContentsAn overview of the Phase-Field Method and Its Formulism.- Introduction to numerical solution of Partial Differential Equations.- Preliminaries about the codes.- Solving Phase-Field models with finite difference algorithm.- Solving phase-field model with Fourier spectral methods.- Solving phase-field equations with finite element method.- Phase-field crystal modeling of material behavior.- Concluding remarks.
