JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL ACOUSTICS JCA http://www.worldscinet.com/jca

About JCA: Aims and Scope

The aim of this journal is to provide an international forum for the dissemination of the state-of-the-art information in the field of Computational Acoustics.

Topics covered by this journal include research and tutorial contributions in OCEAN ACOUSTICS (a subject of active research in relation with sonar detection and the design of noiseless ships), SEISMO-ACOUSTICS (of concern to earthquake science and engineering, and also to those doing underground prospection like searching for petroleum), AEROACOUSTICS (which includes the analysis of noise created by aircraft), COMPUTATIONAL METHODS, and SUPERCOMPUTING. In addition to the traditional issues and problems in computational methods, the journal also considers theoretical research acoustics papers which lead to large-scale scientific computations.

“This 3-volume work is a systematic presentation of mathematical statements and methods of solution for problems of structural stability. It also presents a connection between the solutions of the problems and the actual design practice. The target audience of the book includes researchers in engineering, developers of CAD software who investigate the stability of equilibrium of mechanical systems, and practical engineers that who use software tools in their daily work and are interested in knowing more about the theoretical foundations of the strength analysis. The book can be useful for senior students of engineering, and for the faculty of university departments where strength-related subjects of civil or mechanical engineering are taught.”

Structural Engineering

:: BestsellerHEALTH ASSESSMENT OF ENGINEERED STRUCTURESBridges, Buildings and Other Infrastructuresedited by Achintya Haldar (University of Arizona, USA)

Each chapter is authored by the most active scholar(s) in the area. After discussing the general concept, various currently available methods of structural health assessment (such as the use of smart sensors) are presented. Health Assessment discusses the following: sensor types, platforms and data conditioning for practical applications; wireless collection of sensor data, sensor power needs and on-site energy harvesting; and long term monitoring of structures. Uncertainty in collected data is also extensively addressed. A chapter discussing future directions in structural health assessment is also included.

Readership: Students (undergraduate and graduate), researchers (academic and industrial), and practitioners (government and private) interested in structural engineering.

STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY CONSIDERATIONS IN ENGINEERING DESIGN (Volume I)Introduction to Structural Integrity and Basic Fatigue Designby David W Hoeppner (University of Utah, USA)

Key Features: Discusses the systems-oriented, holistic approach to structural

integrity-based design, which has not been written about in any known book to this date, but is being employed in various industries and is gaining more applications daily

Significantly improves on the knowledge base available to engineers and scientists throughout the world, as common engineering education does not deal adequately with the subjects covered in this book

Readership: Upper-class undergraduate and graduate students, academics, and industry professionals in the field of structural integrity, and general management of reliability and quality.

COASTAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL CEJhttp://www.worldscientific.com/cej

Editor-in-Chief: Yasunori Watanabe (Hokkaido University, Japan)

Associate Editor-in-Chief: Shunichi Koshimura (Tohoku University, Japan)

About CEJ: Aims and Scope

Coastal Engineering Journal is a peer-reviewed medium for the publication of research achievements and engineering practices in the fields of coastal, harbor and offshore engineering. The CEJ editors welcome original papers and comprehensive reviews on waves and currents, sediment motion and morphodynamics, as well as on structures and facilities. Reports on conceptual developments and predictive methods of environmental processes are also published. Topics also include hard and soft technologies related to coastal zone development, shore protection, and prevention or mitigation of coastal disasters. The journal is intended to cover not only fundamental studies on analytical models, numerical computation and laboratory experiments, but also results of field measurements and case studies of real projects.

by

John van der Puil (TiasNimbas Business School, Tilburg, the Netherlands) &

Arjan van Weele (Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands)

This book, about international contracting and contract

management, is written from the angle of the contractor

and discussed from an international perspective. It

comments on real-life cases, taken from various kinds of

projects: infrastructural works (roads, bridges, tunnels, rail roads),

wind- and sunfarms, oil and gas installations, such as platforms,

pipe lines, power generating works, and large buildings.

The book is structured around the contracting cycle. Chapters

include dealing with the role of the contractor in international

contracting, the tender process, landing and negotiating the

contract, types of contract, problems that may occur during project

execution, project delivery, and handling guarantee claims.

Written primarily for business practitioners operating in the

international contracting industry, the title assumes that the reader

will have a basic understanding and knowledge of theories related

to project management, construction engineering, business law

and economics.

Though not an academic book, due to its unique blend of

practitioners’ insight and academic theory, it can be taught on

Masters courses. As most engineers are going to deal with contracts,

this book is specifically recommended for engineering programs

at both graduate and postgraduate levels. Lawyers will find the

book useful in helping them to understand the business context in

which their customers and/or colleagues work.
