Dynamical Systems-Based Soil Mechanics
by Paul JosephThis book is a short yet rigorous course on a new paradigm in soil mechanics, one that holds that soil deformation occurs as a simple friction-based Poisson process in which soil particles move to their final position at random shear strains. It originates from work by Casagrande’s soil mechanics group at Harvard University that found that an aggregate of soil particles when sheared reaches a "steady-state" condition, a finding in line with the thermodynamics of dissipative systems. The book unpacks this new paradigm as it applies to soils. The theory explains fundamental, ubiquitous soil behaviors and relationships used in soils engineering daily thousands of times across the world, but whose material bases so far have been unknown. These include for example, why for one-dimensional consolidation, the e-log ? line is linear, and why C?/Cc is a constant for a given soil. The subtext of the book is that with this paradigm, the scientific method of trying to falsify hypotheses fully drives advances in the field, i.e., that soil mechanics now strictly qualifies as a science that, in turn, informs geotechnical engineering. The audience for the book is senior undergraduates, graduate students, academics, and researchers as well as industry professionals, particularly geotechnical engineers. It will also be useful to structural engineers, highway engineers, military engineers, persons in the construction industry, as well as planetary scientists. Because its fundamental findings hold for any mass of particles like soils, the theory applies not just to soils, but also to powders, grains etc. so long as these are under pseudo-static (no inertial effects) conditions.

Dynamically Structured Flow in Pulsed Fluidised Beds (Springer Theses)
by Kaiqiao WuThis book analyses the use of a pulsed gas flow to structure bubbling gas-solid fluidised beds and to induce a special fluidisation state, called "dynamically structured flow", as a promising approach to process intensification. It explores the properties of bubbles rising in staggered periodic arrays without direct interaction, assessing their size, separation, and velocity, and explains how a highly uniform, scalable flow offers tight control over the system hydrodynamics. These features are desirable, as they not only bypass engineering challenges occurring in traditional operations, such as maldistribution and non-uniform contact, but also allow to decouple conflicting design objectives, such as mixing and gas-solid contact. The thesis also presents computational simulations which reveal the periodic transitions of the particulate phase between fluid-like and solid-like behaviour. This book will be of interest to researchers, engineers, and graduate students alike, particularly those working in industrial drying, combustion, and chemical production.

Dynamics and Balancing of Multibody Systems: Application to Rural and Robotic Systems
by Subir Kumar Saha Vinay Gupta Himanshu ChaudharyThe book describes the methodologies for dynamics formulation, balancing, and optimizing dynamic quantities of multibody systems, such as mechanisms and robots. The writing equations of motion of multibody systems are simplified by using Decoupled Natural Orthogonal Complementary (DeNOC) matrices-based methodology originally proposed by the second author. Writing equations of motion using a DeNOC based approach enables the analytical expressions of even complicated systems which provide better physical insights of the system at-hand. The DeNOC based dynamics formulation of multibody systems is extended from system of continuum rigid-link to discrete equivalent system of point-masses coined as DeNOC-P. The dynamics formulation representing a link as point-masses is exploited to minimize the dynamic quantities shaking forces, shaking moments, or driving torques/forces by optimizing the mass redistribution of the link. Several numerical examples, such as carpet scraping machine, PUMA robot, Stewart platform, etc., are illustrated. The book also demonstrates a shape optimization methodology to realize the link with optimized mass redistribution. This textbook can be prescribed for teaching a course on dynamics and balancing of multibody systems at undergraduate and postgraduate level.
