Invariant Manifolds for Physical and Chemical Kinetics
By bringing together various ideas and methods for extracting the slow manifolds the authors show that it is possible to establish a more macroscopic description in nonequilibrium systems. The book treats slowness as stability. A unifying geometrical viewpoint of the thermodynamics of slow and fast motion enables the development of reduction techniques, both analytical and numerical. Examples considered in the book range from the Boltzmann kinetic equation and hydrodynamics to the Fokker-Planck equations of polymer dynamics and models of chemical kinetics describing oxidation reactions. Special chapters are devoted to model reduction in classical statistical dynamics, natural selection, and exact solutions for slow hydrodynamic manifolds. The book will be a major reference source for both theoretical and applied model reduction. Intended primarily as a postgraduate-level text in nonequilibrium kinetics and model reduction, it will also be valuable to PhD students and researchers in applied mathematics, physics and various fields of engineering.
Intumescent Coating and Fire Protection of Steel Structures
Introduced are the features and applications of intumescent coatings for protecting steel structures against fire. The constant effective thermal conductivity is defined and employed to simplify the quantification for the thermo-resistance of intumescent coatings. An experimental investigation into the hydrothermal aging effects on insulative properties of intumescent coatings is presented, as well as the influence of topcoat on insulation and aging of intumescent coatings. Also described is a practical method for calculating the temperature of the protected steel structures with intumescent coatings in order to evaluate the fire safety of a structure.
Intuitive Probability and Random Processes using MATLAB®
Intuitive Probability and Random Processes using MATLAB® is an introduction to probability and random processes that merges theory with practice. Based on the author’s belief that only "hands-on" experience with the material can promote intuitive understanding, the approach is to motivate the need for theory using MATLAB examples, followed by theory and analysis, and finally descriptions of "real-world" examples to acquaint the reader with a wide variety of applications.

Introduzione al Calcolo Scientifico : Esercizi e problemi risolti con MATLAB = Introduction to scientific computing : Exercises and problem solved with MATLAB
Introduces the fundamental concepts for the numerical modeling of partial differential problems. We consider the classic linear elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic equations, but also other equations, such as those of diffusion and transport, of Navier-Stokes, and the conservation laws. Numerous physical examples underlying these equations are provided, their main mathematical properties are studied, then numerical resolution methods based on finite elements, finite differences, finite volumes and spectral methods are proposed and analyzed. In particular, the algorithmic and computer implementation aspects are discussed and some easy-to-use programs in C ++ language are provided. The text does not presuppose an advanced mathematical knowledge of partial differential equations: the strictly indispensable concepts in this regard are reported in the Appendix. THE VOLUME is therefore suitable for students of scientific degree courses (Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Information Sciences) and recommended for researchers from the academic and extra-academic world who want to approach this interesting branch of applied mathematics.
Introduction to Wave Scattering, Localization and Mesoscopic Phenomena
Waves represent a classic topic of study in physics, mathematics, and engineering. Many modern technologies are based on our understanding of waves and their interaction with matter. In the past thirty years there have been some revolutionary developments in the study of waves. The present volume is the only available source which details these developments in a systematic manner, with the aim of reaching a broad audience of non-experts. It is an important resource book for those interested in understanding the physics underlying nanotechnology and mesoscopic phenomena, as well as for bridging the gap between the textbooks and research frontiers in any wave related topic. A special feature of this volume is the treatment of classical and quantum mechanical waves within a unified framework, thus facilitating an understanding of similarities and differences between the two.

Introduction to Soliton Theory : Applications to Mechanics
This monograph provides the application of soliton theory to solve certain problems selected from the fields of mechanics. The present monograph is not a simple translation of its predecessor appeared in Publishing House of the Romanian Academy in 2002. Improvements outline the way in which the soliton theory is applied to solve some engineering problems. The book addresses concrete resolution methods of certain problems such as the motion of thin elastic rod, vibrations of initial deformed thin elastic rod, the coupled pendulum oscillations, dynamics of left ventricle, transient flow of blood in arteries, the subharmonic waves generation in a piezoelectric plate with Cantor-like structure, and some problems related to Tzitzeica surfaces. This comprehensive study enables the readers to make connections between the soliton physical phenomenon and some partical, engineering problems.
