Other Selected Problems

The scope of the chapter: 1. axisymmetric body whose generatrix has a discontinuous slope; 2. Asymmetric plane body. We shall stay within the frame of classical gasdynamics. The more, we shall base on the syst...

Sheet Copper Roof Work I

Sheet copper is an excellent material for roofing purposes; it is light in weight, very durable, and free from ‘creep’. After a time sheet copper becomes coated by a pale green patina which protects the metal ...

The Principle of Conservation of Entropy

Let us go back to (1.8). If it is (approximately) true for the best possible encoding, then it must be true for arbitrary uniquely decodable coding. After the encoding we get a new random sequence of signals; ...

Introduction

The librational motion of a satellite depends on the gravity gradient, aerodynamic, and magnetic torques, on the moments of inertia of the satellite and on some less significant influences as solar radiation, ...

Chapter

Balance Equations

In this chapter, general balance equations of fundamental importance in field theories are given in the local as well as in the substantial form. First the relations existing between them are described and the...

Aelotropic Yield Condition

In current literature ad hoc semi-emperial laws are widely used for transition problems in applied Mathematics, Physics and Engineering Sciences. It is particularly true of elastic-plastic deformation for whic...

Bauelemente

Vor einer Betrachtung der Gesamtbauwerke (im 2. Band) ist es notwendig, sich eingehend mit der Wirkungsweise ihrer Elemente zu befassen. Konstruieren (construere: zusammenbauen) bedeutet das Zusammenfügen von ...

One Pipe System

The one pipe system is a comparatively recent system of above ground drainage. The system was first used in the U.S.A. but it was some time before it was accepted in this country. It was however, eventually ac...

Raking Flashings and Soakers

The method of weathering a pitched roof at the intersection of a wall or chimney stack, is known as flashing. The type of flashing depends upon the type of roof covering. For plain tiles or slates, soakers and...

More General Channels, more General Codes

It is needless to say that the channels considered untill now are very special. First of all, we assumed that each code signal may follow each other. In the case of practical channels there are several conditi...

Tapering Parapet Gutter

For buildings of over two storeys in height a parapet wall gutter is preferable to the eaves gutter, because of the ease and safety with which the gutter may be either cleaned or repaired. The parapet wall gut...
