Stability and Optimization of Flexible Space Structures


Free Download Stability and Optimization of Flexible Space Structures By Univ. Prof. S. J. Britvec (auth.)
1995 | 280 Pages | ISBN: 303489886X | PDF | 7 MB
The aim of this book is to present up-to-date methodologies in the analysis and optimization of the elastic stability of lightweight statically determinate, and in- determinate, space structures made of flexible members which are highly stiff when loaded centrally at the nodes. These are flat and curved space pin- connected open or enveloped lattices and reticulated shells which, due to their high loadbearing capacity to weight ratios, are gaining in importance in aerospace and other fields. They are utilized, for example, in space stations, as support structures for large radio-telescopes and for other equipment on earth and in outer space, as roof structures for the coverage and enclosure of large areas on earth and as underwater shell-type structures enveloped by a cover-shell capable of withstanding high hydrostatic pressures. * Space structures of this type are generally subjected to considerable internal axial loads in the flexible members and they fail through the loss of global statical stability, usually precipitated by the intrinsic small imperfections at finite near-critical elastic deformations – and not primarily by the the break-down of the material of which they are made, as is the case in conventional systems. Thus, the criterion in the design of such structures calls for eliminating or isolating the onset of the elastic dynamic collapse thereby increasing their safe stability limit. * Standard finite element methods, as they are employed by most users today, are totally inadequate for such analyses since they do not account for the choice of the branching paths in the loading process of the structure nor for the existence of the relevant collapse modes. * These aspects are novel and they are presented here for the first time in comprehensive book form.

Flexible Authoritarianism Cultivating Ambition and Loyalty in Russia


Free Download Flexible Authoritarianism: Cultivating Ambition and Loyalty in Russia (Oxford Studies in Culture and Politics) by Anna Schwenck
English | December 19, 2023 | ISBN: 019775158X, 0197751598 | True PDF | 334 pages | 19.3 MB
Flexible Authoritarianism challenges the idea that the transnational rise of authoritarianism is a backlash against economic globalization and neoliberal capitalism. Flexible authoritarianism-a form of government that simultaneously incentivizes a can-do spirit and suppresses dissent-reflects the resonance between authoritarian and neoliberal ideologies in today’s comeback of strongman rule. The book conveys the look and feel of flexible authoritarianism in Russia through the eyes of up-and-coming youth.

Free Download Flexible Verteilung von PPS-Systemen: Methodik Planungsobjekt-basierter Softwareentwicklung By Klaus Turowski (auth.)
1997 | 241 Pages | ISBN: 3824465477 | PDF | 9 MB
Kennzeichnend für neuere PPS-Ansätze ist die flexible, an der betrieblichen Ablauforganisation ausgerichtete Dezentralisierung. Die derzeitig eingesetzten PPS-Softwaresysteme sind diesen Anforderungen nicht in erforderlicher Weise gewachsen. Klaus Turowski zeigt eine Methodik für die flexible Entwicklung dezentraler PPS-Softwaresysteme auf. Ein Anwendungsbeispiel verdeutlicht, daß wesentliche PPS-Funktionen trotz ihrer Interdependenz verteilt und parallel bearbeitet werden können.

Free Download Knit for Health & Wellness: How to knit a flexible mind & more… by Betsan Corkhill
English | August 1, 2014 | ISBN: 1910291331 | 190 pages | PDF | 0.67 Mb
Betsan Corkhill’s book will transform the way you think about your health, wellness and knitting. It rises above other self-help books because it provides an accessible tool which gets you actively involved in improving your health and wellbeing and shows you how to do this any time, anywhere. It quite literally puts the power in your hands.Discover -* What knitting has in common with the leading edge of neuroscience* The secret power of your hand movements and their influence on your brain* How knitting naturally brings about a state of mind that doctors the world over are eager to encourage* How knitting can be used as a tool to help anyone, including those with complex health conditions* How knitting helps to erase your social concerns to build strong support networks and communities* How knitting can help you beat loneliness to feel belonged, enjoy fun and laughter and easy banter* How Therapeutic Knitting can kick start a healing process.Learn how to -* Knit therapeutically * Choose the needles and yarn to maximise the benefits to you* Recognise the power and value of different types of project and when to best use them* Use Therapeutic Knitting to improve your wellbeing – entirely within your control, any time, anywhere.Betsan shares her knowledge of using Therapeutic Knitting clinically and integrates this with recent research, her medical knowledge, data from a survey of over 3,500 knitters from 31 countries, and numerous stories sent to her from knitters around the globe. Her writing style makes this an easy, enjoyable read whilst at the same time conveying valuable neuroscience, research and knowledge which will improve your life. Betsan is the recognised world expert on the use of Therapeutic Knitting for improving health, wellness and managing illness. She has pioneered this research since 2005. "Betsan Corkhill, who is clinically trained in physiotherapy, has led the field in supporting the use of knitting and other crafts in therapeutic clinical practice." Professor Trisha Greenhalgh OBE.You will discover that what actually goes on behind the ‘K’ word is complex and exciting in many ways. The information shared opens up an exciting accessible new way of approaching health, wellness and ‘being well’."Under Betsan’s guidance, the Stitchlinks group of patients with serious lifelong pain conditions who could have sunk in the misery and isolation brought about by chronic pain, contradicted all expectations. Needles clickety-clacking away, relentless banter and laughter, pain banished – at least for now."Paul Harvard-Evans, Award-winning radio producer. Producer of Airing Pain for the charity Pain Concern"Betsan has squeezed her formidable experience and startling journey into a book. On reading it, you will be reminded of the unexampled magnificence of your brain and the splendid simplicity of knitting it to good health. On one level it is seductively simple – there is no doubt that without a brain, one could neither knit, nor hurt and it really does seem that doing the former reduces the latter. But Betsan’s book is about so much more than knitting and pain. It is about embracing the complexity of how and why our brain produces experiences. It is about making things, giving things, sharing things, while you make your own journey to recovery. I suspect you will have a rewarding trip."Professor Lorimer Moseley, Professor of Clinical Neurosciences and Chair of Physiotherapy at The University of South Australia

But as yoga has gone global, its cultural meanings have spiraled far and wide. In Flexible India, Shameem Black travels into unexpected realms of popular culture in English from India, its diaspora, and the West to explore and critique yoga as an exercise in cultural power.
