The content of the volume also includes the chapters focusing on the shore lines and beaches modeling, in addition to the dynamic processes of waves and flows, currents and transport of sediments. The main scope of the publication has been strengthened with supplementary chapters that concentrate of the major effects that the coastal structures have on the near-shore flows, coastal pollution and eco-modeling and other relevant information.

Here is another title belonging to the world popular Demystified series intended to offer readers a practical coverage of the important and complex course of statics and dynamics. Written by the expert in the field, David McMahon, has followed the standard learning curriculum. The content of the book will discover how exactly the forces affect different objects both in motion and at rest, and will be easily understood even by the people without formal training in the field - they will all be offered a very effective and even entertaining way of learning this basic engineering topic.

The book starts with a review of the vector calculus, followed by the chapters covering the gravity and forces, as well as friction and moment of inertia. After that, the readers will proceed to the dynamics, starting with the basic fundamentals of the particles, rotation and circular motion, power and energy, work and vibrational motion. The main content concludes with the introduction to Hamiltonian and Lagrangian methods.

The volume will give you hundreds of worked examples provided with the solutions, perfectly explained theory of statics and dynamics without any unnecessary and complicated technical jargon used, and the final examination at the end. The book is simply enough for the beginners.

The text contained in this publication describes the state-of-the-art in the field of the friction and resistance reduction techniques for crafts and bodies that operate in liquids and under the free surface. The volume is expected to be very useful for the professionals with the relevant background, namely in fluid dynamics.

The active resistance control includes a discussion specifically concerning the friction resistance, for instance via the injection of gas forming air layers and polymers initially residing adjacent to the hull. The publication is discussing the passive resistance control commonly achieved through the changes in the shape of the hull together with its appendages covering the application of different lifting bodies, as well as stern flaps and bulbous bows of the ships. The authors have also addressed the passive skin friction reduction through application of various special hull coatings plus other elements of the ship hull husbandry.

The content of the volume will definitely be of great interest to the professionals including practicing engineers, specialists and researchers in various fields of tribology, fluid mechanics and mechanical engineering, as well as to the students of relevant disciplines. Note that the authors are the world leaders in the field of the drag reduction so one will definitely suggest that the book is worth time spent.

The authors of this classic work have declared several purposes but the main and major was to provide all interested readers, and particularly students/teachers with enough comprehensive and practically useful compilation of different progressive problems which commonly embody the fundamental principles and also the real examples directly related to the practical mechanical drawing.

All of those problems have been offered in the form of some specification sheets and, in addition to that, a lay-out sheet from which the students are supposed to build the completed drawing. The referenced specification sheets, in turn, are providing a statement of the problem; they are, in most cases, supplemented with some text matter that bear upon and emphasize the things to be taught in the problems, or providing some relevant technical information. The proper utilization of the proposed specifications plus the reference sheets is expected to facilitate the moving towards the creation of the necessary level of self-reliance and the personal efforts of the students.

All of the problems chosen for inclusion into this publication have been fully supplemented and such approach has made the content of this volume very flexible. The reference sheets contained in the book are made use throughout all docs and will definitely be among the valuable features of this title.

The broad area of the wave structure interaction is considered one of the top important branches of fluid mechanics deservedly assumed to be of special significance because of the numerous applications in the fields of marine technology as well as arctic engineering.

The main objective of the present monograph is to provide readers with a modern account of different mathematical techniques related to the problems of wave structure interactions and dealing with the initial and boundary value problems that are commonly associated with the Laplace equation which, in turn, satisfies the boundary conditions of the higher order.

The author has made all efforts to present the content in a very pedagogical and easy-to-follow manner so that the readers can appreciate the tools discussed in the monograph and properly apply these tools to solve their problems in the relating branches.

Certain exercises are there at the end of each chapter; but note that some of those exercises are not attempted for solution so far. The main material of the book has been arranged in seven big chapters on the basis of the application of different mat techniques as physical problems discussed. A very useful one for all persons with the interest in the application of mathematics to engineering.

A reproduction of the very rare classic manuals covering the techniques for grinding the high speed steels demonstrating proper angles and also providing readers with the information on correct set-up of different types of bits; it also shows the correct angles the bits on the lathe are to be set. Moreover, it contains necessary instructions relating to the set-up for the tool holders.

For more than a century this volume has been serving as a valuable source of technical knowledge giving lots of helpful information which is quite often very difficult to find elsewhere. Cutting tools are there among the critically important instruments to be considered when machining the metal in the lathe. In order to perform the metal machining in an efficient and accurate manner, workers must have proper understanding of the main principles.

The booklet contains the very latest shop practices for grinding different types of the cutter bits. In fact, cutter bit is exactly a part of the lathe tool cutting the metal that is required to be removed in order to bring the work to the size and shape that are desired. They are usually made of high-speed steels and commonly held in a holder. Note that this is professionally prepared electronic copy of the publication released in the very beginning of the last century.
