Engineering dynamics and vibrations has become an essential topic for ensuring structural integrity and operational functionality in different engineering areas. However, practical problems regarding dynamics and vibrations are in many cases handled without success despite large expenditures. This book covers a wide range of topics from the basics to advances in dynamics and vibrations; from relevant engineering challenges to the solutions; from engineering failures due to inappropriate accounting of dynamics to mitigation measures and utilization of dynamics. It lays emphasis on engineering applications utilizing state-of-the-art information.
This book is a compilation of selected papers from the 9th International Symposium on Lifeline and Infrastructure Earthquake Engineering (ISLIEE 2024). The work focuses on innovative methodologies and the practical applications of these technologies in the field of Earthquake Engineering, including disaster prevention and mitigation, performance deterioration and service safety, structural diagnosis and treatment, reliability analysis, structural health monitoring (SHM) and disaster resilience of civil engineering infrastructures. Besides the development of basic theoretical knowledges, new numerical and experimental methods, this book illustrates application of these innovative methodologies in practical engineering, in particular, in large-scale civil engineering infrastructures. Gathering the newest development, the contents make valuable contributions to academic researchers and engineers in the industry. As well, readers will encounter new ideas for realizing a more efficient and safer system.
The 4th International Conference on Performance-based Design in Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering (PBD-IV) is held in Beijing, China. The PBD-IV Conference is organized under the auspices of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering - Technical Committee TC203 on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering and Associated Problems (ISSMGE-TC203). The PBD-I, PBD-II, and PBD-III events in Japan (2009), Italy (2012), and Canada (2017) respectively, were highly successful events for the international earthquake geotechnical engineering community. The PBD events have been excellent companions to the International Conference on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering (ICEGE) series that TC203 has held in Japan (1995), Portugal (1999), USA (2004), Greece (2007), Chile (2011), New Zealand (2015), and Italy (2019). The goal of PBD-IV is to provide an open forum for delegates to interact with their international colleagues and advance performance-based design research and practices for earthquake geotechnical engineering.
The first monograph devoted to women artists of the Republican period, The Golden Key recovers the history of a groundbreaking yet forgotten force in China's modern art world. Through its detailed examination of the lives and careers of six female artists—Guan Zilan, Qiu Ti, Pan Yuliang, Fang Junbi, Yu Feng, and Liang Baibo—this book argues that women were central to the emergence of modernist art in early twentieth-century China and to the nation’s larger modernization project. Amanda S. Wangwright’s analysis of a wealth of primary sources demonstrates how these women constructed public personas, negotiated space within art societies, applied feminist thought to their artistic praxis, and surmounted obstacles to their careers—wielding art as the “golden key” to professional advancement and gender equality.

Seismic vulnerability and extensive damage to underground lifeline network, causing significant life and economic losses, have been observed and documented in past earthquakes. Seismic retrofit of critical underground pipelines has become an urgent need of our society to improve the performance and serviceability of these critical lifeline systems as well as to enhance public safety. The cured in place pipe (CIPP) liner technology consists of installing flexible polymeric liners with thermosetting resin inside existing pipelines. Compared with traditional expensive and disruptive excavation and replacement of aging and structurally unsound pipelines, CIPP liner technology provides an economi...
This study of Chinese women in the book trade begins with three case studies, each of which probes one facet of the relationship between women and fiction in the early 19th century. Building on these studies, the second half of the book focuses on the many sequels to the Dream of the Red Chamber and the significance of this novel for women.
