This book presents the current state of the art of nondeterministic mechanics in its various forms. It examines how probabilistic/stochastic modelling, fuzzy sets based analysis, and antioptimization of structures deal with various uncertainties.

Essen hat über die Nährstoffzufuhr hinaus großen sozialen Stellenwert; Riechen, Schmecken und das gemeinsame Erlebnis sind Mittel der Kommunikation und Stimulation. Krankheits- oder altersbedingte Einschränkungen beeinträchtigen diese sozialen Aspekte, besonders in Pflegeeinrichtungen kommen sie oft zu kurz.Hier setzt das interdisziplinäre Autorenteam an: Auf Basis wissenschaftlicher und medizinisch-pflegerischer Grundlagen geben ihre Vorschläge dem Essen auch mit Einschränkungen auf einfache Weise mehr Genuss und Lebensfreude zurück. Neuartige Kombinationen und Zubereitungen von Zutaten und ihre störungsspezifische Konsistenzveränderung liegen den Ideen zugrunde. Die dargestellten Maßnahmen können im stationären Setting einfach umgesetzt werden und erleichtern auch Pflegekräften die anspruchsvolle Arbeit. Rezeptvorschläge regen zum Nachmachen und Ausprobieren an. Das Buch richtet sich an Pflegekräfte in Praxis und Management, aber auch an Angehörige zu Hause, die Pflegebedürftigen mehr Lebensfreude durch Genuss ermöglichen möchten.

This book takes the reader step-by-step through routine temporal bone surgeries while maximizing the use of the cadaver tissue.

This volume reviews cutting-edge methodologies in the use of electro- and magneto-sensitive elastomers and polymers. It covers the mathematical and computational aspects of modelling these materials as well as how to control their mechanical properties.

Dynamical Inverse Problems presents an overview of the general aspects and practical applications of dynamic inverse methods. Topics include classical and advanced inverse problems in vibration, dynamic methods for structural identification, and more.

In this book a number of these methods are described and applied to a broad range of problems from the transition to turbulence to asymptotic turbulence when the inertial part of the spectrum is fully developed.

This book deals with the safety assessment of structures and structural components, possibly operating beyond the elastic limits under variable repeated thermo-mechanical loads. These methods are receiving increased attention for the prediction of structural failure because they provide the information that is essential in practice (e.g.

The book outlines special approaches using singular and non-singular, multi-domain and meshless BEM formulations, hybrid- and reciprocity-based FEM for the solution of linear and non-linear problems of solid and fluid mechanics and for the acoustic fluid-structure interaction.

This book is an introduction to terrestial magnetohydrodynamics. It is a compendium of introductory lectures by experts in the field, focussing on applications in industry and the laboratory. A concise overview of the subject with references to further study.

This book with chapters on foundation, models, universal results, wave propagation, qualitative theory and phase transitions, indicates that the subject he reinvigorated has remainded remarkably vibran and has continued to present significant deep mathematical and experimental challenges.

Through the contributions of well-known scholars, this book provides an updated overview of some relevant developments and applications in this rapidly growing field. Topics include constitutive models for geomaterials, numerical analysis of ground improvement techniques and tunnelling problems.
