Given the design component it involves, financial

engineering should be considered equal to conventional

engineering. By adopting this complementary approach,

financial models can be used to identify how and why

timing is critical in optimizing return on investment and

to demonstrate how financial engineering can enhance

returns to investors. Metals and Energy Finance

capitalizes on this approach, and identifies and examines

the investment opportunities offered across the

extractive industry's cycle, from exploration through

evaluation, pre-production development, development

and production. The textbook also addresses the

Southeast Asia is going through tremendous changes.

The market-oriented economies of Brunei, Indonesia,

Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand have

been showing robust growth, particularly before the

Asian financial crisis of 1997/98. The transitional

economies of Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam

are also exhibiting signs of economic awakening and

revival after years of internal political and social turmoil.

Despite these encouraging signs, the region still has a

long road ahead to achieve developed nation status.

Engineering structures considered include bars,

columns, struts, tubes, vessels, beams, springs and

frames. The loadings imposed upon them are, typically,

tension, compression and shear, bending, torsion and

pressure, separately and in combination. The mechanics

of such structures examine the manner in which they

each bear their respective loading in a safe predictable

way. This aids design considerations upon choice of

material and its physical shape when seeking, say, a safe

design with low weight.The presentation of chapters is

intended to guide the reader from a basic to more

advanced understanding of common engineering

Applied Mathematics in Hydraulic Engineering is an

excellent teaching guide and reference to treating

nonlinear mathematical problems in hydraulic,

hydrologic and coastal engineering. Undergraduates

studying civil and coastal engineering, as well as analysis

and differential equations, are started off applying

calculus to the treatment of nonlinear partial differential

equations, before given the chance to practice real-life

problems related to the fields. This textbook is not only

a good source of teaching materials for teachers or

instructors, but is also useful as a comprehensive

resource of mathematical tools to researchers.

A hydraulic system controls the transmission of energy.

It transforms the mechanical energy of a prime motor

into fluid energy. It controls the fluid configuration and

transforms the fluid energy into mechanical work at

specified locations. Hydraulic systems feature high

power density, sensitive response and precision of

control, especially when operating under computer

control. Thus, they have been widely used as the energy

transmission control systems in aircraft, ships,

construction machinery, machine tools and others.

Therefore, it is indispensable for a mechanical engineer

to become versed with hydraulic control technology.

Dimensional analysis is a magical way of finding useful

results with almost no effort. It makes it possible to

bring together the results of experiments and

computations in a concise but exact form, so that they

can be used efficiently and economically to make

predictions. It takes advantage of the fact that

phenomena go their way independently of the units we

measure them with, because the units have nothing to

do with the underlying physics. This simple idea turns

out to be unexpectedly powerful. Students often fail to

gain from dimensional analysis, because bad teaching

has led them to suppose it cannot be used to derive new

Peridynamics is both a graduate-level textbook and a

treatise. The text provides the necessary foundations to

understand and apply the state-based peridynamic

lattice model, as well as a guide for the practical use of

the model — for solving realistic structural engineering

problems (particularly in reinforced concrete structures)

in elasticity, plasticity, damage, fracture, and large

The fifteen chapters of this book are arranged in a

logical progression. The text begins with the more

fundamental material on stress and strain

transformations with elasticity theory for plane and

axially symmetric bodies, followed by a full treatment of

the theories of bending and torsion. Coverage of

moment distribution, shear flow, struts and energy

methods precede a chapter on finite elements.

Thereafter, the book presents yield and strength criteria,

plasticity, collapse, creep, visco-elasticity, fatigue and

fracture mechanics. Appended is material on the

properties of areas, matrices and stress concentrations.

This book is a question book that offers single best

answers (SBA) to 300 questions related to topics in

general medicine. In order to further enhance

knowledge and understanding, detailed answers have

been included. This book is designed as both a revision

and learning aid, with questions being set in a mock-

examination format which can be completed under

timed conditions.The primary target audience of this

book is clinical medical students who are revising for

examinations. However, questions have been planned in

a way that a fairly large secondary target audience will

be reached as well. This includes students who are
