Description
Alfonso Sorrentino is associate professor of mathematics at the University of Rome "Tor Vergata" in Italy. He holds a PhD in mathematics from Princeton University.
John Mather's seminal works in Hamiltonian dynamics represent some of the most important contributions to our understanding of the complex balance between stable and unstable motions in classical mechanics. His novel approach-known as Aubry-Mather theory-singles out the existence of special...

Muchas aplicaciones de la ingeniería se basan en el aprovechamiento de la materia en estado sólido, líquido, gaseoso o coloidal. Desde un punto de vista constitutivo estas cuatro formas de la materia pueden considerarse como sistemas de muchas partículas, el análisis mecánico de un sistema físico de esta índole podría llegar a ser una tarea ingente en virtud al número de mediciones y operaciones que sería necesario llevar a acabo. Su idealización...

Description
Accounting for fatigue loadings has been a concern ever since the widespread introduction of metallic materials into load-bearing components in the nineteenth century. Calculations were developed based on the analysis capabilities of their time incorporating all the latest technologies of their era. At the time, that technology was pencil-and-paper calculations.
Today's calculations are computer-based. The widespread use of computing methods has...

Mechatronics, even though the term may not sound familiar but it was originated long back in 1969. This is just another field of engineering that multiplies different subfield such as mechanics, electronics, electrical, computer science engineering, control engineering and more. Basically, this is considered as the combination of mechanical engineering and electronics. The main aim of this mechatronics is to design a product that is a combination...
