American Society of Mechanical Engineers Flow-Induced Vibration of Power and Process Plant Components A Practical Workbook by M K Au-Yang

Flow-Induced Vibration of Power and Process Plant Components: A Practical Workbook is an indispensable, single source of information on the most common flow-induced vibration problems in power and process plant components. Based on the author's own experience that most errors in engineering analysis come from confusions in the units, the author begins with a short chapter on units and dimensions. He then provides step-by-step examples in dual US and SI units, leading to the final objective of design analysis, problem solving, diagnosis and trouble shooting in the following areas: Fundamentals of Vibration; Acoustics and Structural Dynamics; Vibration of Structures in Quiescent Fluids: Vortex-Induced Vibration; Turbulence-Induced Vibration; Impact, Fatigue and Wear Caused bu Flow-Induced Vibration; Acoustically-Induced Vibration; Signal Analysis and Diagnostic Techniques._x000D_ Table of contents :- _x000D_ SECTION I: INTRODUCTION TO THE FIELD OF STUDYING CONGREGATIONS_x000D_ _x000D_ Chapter 1: "Here is the Church; Here is the Steeple": Defining and Measuring Religious Congregations_x000D_ _x000D_ Chapter 2: The Religious Landscape in Philadelphia_x000D_ _x000D_ Chapter 3: The organizational behavior of the congregations in our study_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ SECTION II: CONGREGATIONAL CONTRIBUTION TO QUALITY OF LIFE IN URBAN AMERICA_x000D_ _x000D_ Chapter 4: Informal Care by Congregations_x000D_ _x000D_ Chapter 5: Formal Care-Congregations as Social Service Agencies_x000D_ _x000D_ Chapter 6: Using Space for Good Use_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ SECTION III: SPECIAL CONGREGATIONS AND SUBGROUPS_x000D_ _x000D_ Chapter 7: Black Congregations in the City of Brotherly Love_x000D_ _x000D_ Chapter 8: Latino congregations in the 21st century_x000D_ _x000D_ Chapter 9: Women in congregations and social service provision_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ SECTION IV: AREA ORGANIZATIONS THAT ENHANCE THE CONGREGATIONAL SOCIAL SERVICE CAPACITY_x000D_ _x000D_ Chapter 10: Interfaith coalitions-The Story of the Northwest Interfaith Movement (NIM)_x000D_ _x000D_ Chapter 11: Using the congregational capacity to help the homeless-the NPIHN story_x000D_ _x000D_ Chapter 12: Utilizing congregational volunteers: The stories of Amachi and REST Philly_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ SECTION IV: CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS_x000D_ _x000D_ Chapter 13: The world of the clergy: Contextual necessities and leadership challenges_x000D_ _x000D_ Chapter 14: Policy recommendations_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Appendix I: Methods_x000D_ _x000D_ References_x000D_ _x000D_ Acknowledgments_x000D_
