This book is an expanded version of The Applied Dynamics of Ocean Surface Waves. It presents theoretical topics on ocean wave dynamics, including basic principles and applications in coastal and ...

In 1854, B Riemann introduced the notion of curvature for spaces with a family of inner products. There was no significant progress in the general case until 1918, when P Finsler studied the variation ...

Sophora tonkinensis Gagnep. (ST) (Fabaceae) is distributed chiefly in south-central and southeast China and Vietnam. In traditional Chinese medicine theory, the root and rhizome of ST are toxic and ...

In this paper, we propose a stochastic phytoplankton–zooplankton system considering phytoplankton defensive and zooplankton offensive effects. The aim of this paper is to study the effects of ...

Train-induced vibration inevitably affects the living standards and work productivity of residents and staff within transit-oriented development (TOD) buildings, especially when trains operate on the ...

A layered rock mass is a special type of geological body. The existence of a bedding surface may lead to a poor cutting effect (over/under-excavation of the surrounding rock), falling of blocks, or ...

The Earth as a Cradle for Life The Origin, Evolution and Future of the Environment By (author): Frank D Stacey (CSIRO Earth Science and Resource Engineering, Australia) & Jane H Hodgkinson (CSIRO ...

There are various types of waves including water, sound, electromagnetic, seismic and shock etc. These waves need to be analyzed and understood for different practical applications. This book is an ...

The macromodel, by which the beam and column are simulated by fiber beam elements, has been extensively used in the progressive collapse analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) frames due to its high ...

Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of long-span bridges is frequently observed in various types of bridges at low or medium wind speeds, causing disruption of traffic, fatigue issues of the bridge, and ...

This paper aims to study the effects of fish nets on the nonlinear dynamic performance of a floating offshore wind turbine integrated with a steel fish farming cage (FOWT-SFFC). Fully coupled ...
