Free Download Man-Made Sun: Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) Fusion Reactor by Baonian Wan
English | EPUB | 2021 | 156 Pages | ISBN : 9811638861 | 109 MB
This book introduces the research process and principles of the controlled super-coupling nuclear fusion experiment at the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) nuclear fusion reactor in Hefei, China. It uses straightforward language to explain how nuclear fusion can provide safe, environmentally friendly, clean, and inexhaustible energy in future. EAST is the world’s first fully superconducting, non-circular cross-section tokamak nuclear fusion experimental device, independently developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Free Download Fracture Mechanics: The Experimental Method of Caustics and the Det.-Criterion of Fracture by George A. Papadopoulos
English | PDF | 1993 | 291 Pages | ISBN : 1447119940 | 32.5 MB
Fracture and Mechanics is concerned with the experimental method of static and dynamic caustics and the Distribution of Determinant (Det.)-criterion of fracture. The Det.-criterion determines the conditions causing a crack and gives information on the expected angle of crack propagation. The object of this publication is to present the latest results to the re.earch and development community and to assist the teaching of experimental fracture mechanics and stress analysis in undergraduate and postgraduate courses. After discussing the basic theoretical considerations on the subject, experimental techniques and applications are introduced. Most of the results presented are based on the author’s own investigations in the field of experimental mechanics since 1973 at the National Technical University of Athens.

Free Download Experimental Vibration Analysis for Civil Engineering Structures EVACES 2023 – Volume 1 by Maria Pina Limongelli, Pier Francesco Giordano, Said Quqa, Carmelo Gentile, Alfredo Cigada
English | PDF (True) | 2023 | 800 Pages | ISBN : 303139108X | 163.6 MB
This volume presents peer-reviewed contributions from the 10th International Conference on Experimental Vibration Analysis for Civil Engineering Structures (EVACES), held in Milan, Italy on August 30-September 1, 2023. The event brought together engineers, scientists, researchers, and practitioners, providing a forum for discussing and disseminating the latest developments and achievements in all major aspects of dynamic testing for civil engineering structures, including instrumentation, sources of excitation, data analysis, system identification, monitoring and condition assessment, in-situ and laboratory experiments, codes and standards, and vibration mitigation. The topics included but were not limited to: damage identification and structural health monitoring; testing, sensing and modeling; vibration isolation and control; system and model identification; coupled dynamical systems (including human-structure, vehicle-structure, and soil-structure interaction); and application of advanced techniques involving the Internet of Things, robot, UAV, big data and artificial intelligence.

Free Download Experimental Research Designs in Social Work
by Thyer, Bruce A.;
English | 2023 | ISBN: 0231201168 | 399 pages | True PDF | 7.67 MB
Experimental research is of great value to social work. Well-designed studies help social workers understand which approaches are most effective, with implications for both practice with individual clients and social policy more broadly. Many social work practitioners conduct studies that randomly assign clients to specific interventions and various control groups in order to assess policy outcomes. However, social work programs often do not teach experimental methods. Critics continue to assert that true experiments are impractical, unethical, or simply too blunt a tool to evaluate the effects of social work practices and policies.

Free Download Victoria Walker, "Anna Kavan: Mid-Century Experimental Fiction"
English | ISBN: 1474478948 | 2023 | 176 pages | PDF | 460 KB
This first book-length study of Anna Kavan’s writing contradicts earlier critical approaches that have figured her writing as sui generis by reading her comparatively alongside her contemporaries, especially Jean Rhys, Elizabeth Bowen, Muriel Spark and Doris Lessing. Taking Kavan’s fiction as pivotal to understanding trends of experimentalism that emerged across the middle of the twentieth century, it offers close readings of her distinctive prose including her early Helen Ferguson texts, her writing of asylum incarceration, her wartime stories, and her postwar novels. Observing how her fiction challenges perceived divisions between experimental and realist writing, literary and popular genre and (late) modernist and postwar literatures, it focuses on the ways that Kavan’s writing undermines fixed or knowable identity and explores the relationship between reality and fiction. This study not only brings necessary attention to a neglected writer, but also suggests new taxonomies for reading experimental fiction in the mid-twentieth century.
