Dynamic analysis, essentialfor structures subject to seismic ground motion, is fur-ther developed in this edition and in a code-neutralmanner, and the book includes a new chapter onstructural reliability analysis.

AppliedHydrodynamicsAn IntroductionHubert ChansonThe University of Queensland,Brisbane, Australia

This textbook deals with thetopic of applied hydrody-namics. The lecture materialis grouped into two comple-mentary sections: ideal fluidflow and real fluid flow. Theformer deals with two- and possibly three-dimension-al fluid motions that are not subject to boundary fric-tion effects, while the latter considers the flow regionsaffected by boundary friction and turbulent shear. Thelecture material is designed as an intermediate coursein fluid dynamics for senior undergraduate and post-graduate students in civil, environmental, hydraulicand mechanical engineering.

Probability,Statistics, andReliability forEngineers andScientistsThird EditionBilal M. Ayyub andRichard H. McCuenUniversity of Maryland, College Park, USA

The third edition of this bestselling text presents prob-ability, statistics, reliability, and risk methods with anideal balance of theory and applications. It placesincreased emphasis on simulation, particularly as amodeling tool, applying it progressively with projectsthat continue in each chapter. This edition also fea-tures expanded discussions of the analysis of varianceand a thorough treatment of Monte Carlo simulation.The authors not only clearly establish the limitations,advantages, and disadvantages of each method, butalso show that data analysis is a continuum ratherthan the isolated application of different methods.

• Emphasizes risk and reliability for the engineering statistics market from a practicalpoint of view

• Provides additional material on simulation, themathematics related to uncertainty, the randfunction, sample variability, dependence, thePoisson process, and more

• Contains additional illustrations on histogramsamples and hypothesis testing along with Venn diagrams for conditional probabilities

A First Course inDifferentialEquations,Modeling, andSimulationCarlos A. Smith and Scott W. CampbellUniversity of South Florida,Tampa, USA

Emphasizing a practicalapproach for engineers andscientists, this text avoidsoverly theoretical explanations and shows readershow differential equations are derived by applyingbasic physical principles and experimental observa-tions to engineering systems. This resource also coversclassical methods for obtaining the analytical solutionof differential equations and Laplace transforms. Inaddition, the authors discuss how these equationsdescribe mathematical systems and how to use soft-ware to solve sets of equations in which analyticalsolutions cannot be determined. Numerical values areprovided in all examples and problems.


RandomPhenomenaFundamentals ofProbability andStatistics forEngineersBabatunde A. OgunnaikeUniversity of Delaware, Newark,USA

Many of the problems thatengineers face involve ran-domly varying phenomenaof one sort or another. But if characterized properly,even such randomness and the resulting uncertaintyare subject to rigorous mathematical analysis. Thisbook provides students with a fundamental under-standing of random phenomena and a workingknowledge of how to model and analyze such phe-nomena. It explains how to use probability and statis-tics appropriately to deal with uncertainty in engi-neering problems. Basing his approach on the princi-ple of theoretical foundations before application, Dr.Ogunnaike presents a classroom-tested course ofstudy for understanding, characterizing, modeling,and quantifying randomly varying phenomena.

InfrastructureInvestmentAn EngineeringPerspectiveDavid G. CarmichaelUniversity of New South Wales,Sydney, Australia

At the pre-investment stageof an infrastructure project, itis necessary to establish thefeasibility of the infrastruc-ture, both in monetary and non-monetary terms.Infrastructure here refers to buildings, roads, bridges,dams, pipelines, railways, ports, seawalls, wastewatertreatment facilities, and similar, which form the back-bone of society, but can also include any man-madeasset. Non-monetary considerations are both socialand environmental. Future demand and operatingand maintenance costs for infrastructure are uncer-tain; lifetime and investment parameters are uncer-tain. The book provides the methodology by whichthe feasibility of infrastructure, or any man-madeasset, may be appraised given future uncertainty,including that associated with climate change, andoptions to modify or adapt infrastructure.

• Provides a guide to feasibility analysis under conditions of uncertainty

• Presents a systematic and ordered treatment ofcapital investment infrastructure

• Includes case studies and end of chapter exercices

• Covers a number of approaches while weighingup their strengths and weaknesses
