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.
Southeast Asia: The Long Road Ahead is a serious and
concise study on various important economic aspects of

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.

Random waves are the most important constituent of
the sea environment, as they make the design of
maritime structures quite different from that of
structures on land. In this book, the concept of random
waves for the design of breakwaters, seawalls, and
harbor structures is fully explored for easy
comprehension by practicing engineers. Theoretical
aspects are also discussed in detail for further studies by
graduate students and researchers.

The processes and consequences of climate change are
extremely heterogeneous, encompassing many different
fields of study. Dr David Rind in his career at the NASA
Goddard Institute for Space Studies and as a professor at
Columbia University has had the opportunity to explore
many of these subjects with colleagues from these
diverse disciplines. It was therefore natural for the

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

while maintaining a level of treatment that is as rigorous
as possible without being unnecessarily abstract.
Various finite elements in one, two, and three space
dimensions are introduced, and their applications to
elliptic, parabolic, hyperbolic, and nonlinear equations
and to solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, and porous
media flow problems are addressed. The variants
include the control volume, multipoint flux

This book describes mathematical formulations and
computational methods for solving two-phase flow
problems with a computer code that calculates thermal
hydraulic problems related to light water and fast
breeder reactors. The physical model also handles the
particle and gas flow problems that arise from coal
gasification and fluidized beds. The second part of this
book deals with the computational methods for particle
transport.

Parting with the classical continuum concepts of stress
and strain in the computational simulation of solids, this
book proposes a peridynamic model that applies the
model directly to particle lattices. The model is directly
solvable on a computer.Introduction to Practical
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.
