Edited by Yanrong Li, Department of Earth Sciences, Taiyuan University of Technology, Taiyuan, PR China Residual shear strength of slip zones determines the stability of ancient landslides, but measurement/interpretation remains problematic. This leads to uncertainties in estimating strength parameters and to unreliable engineering designs. After the basic theory of shear behavior of soil and its history, modern test methods for residual shear strength are introduced along with their scope and limitations. Discussed advances in measurement of residual shear strength of composite soils provide a deep interpretation of factors influencing the residual shear behavior of such soils. This will help engineers to judge and aptly use the strength parameters obtained from laboratory or in-situ tests.

This book covers process calculations, the most vital part of mineral and coal processing operations. The aim of these calculations is to evaluate the performance of mineral and coal processing operations in terms of the efficiency of the operation and recovery of the required constituents. Process calculations are also necessary to understand the principles of separation processes. The majority of the calculations are performed by using two basic material balance equations without using derived formulae. This is the first book entirely devoted to process calculations by way of worked out examples and problems for practice.

This book will take an in-depth look at the technologies, processes, and capabilities to develop and produce "next generation" energetic materials for both commercial and defense applications, including military, mining operations, oil production and well perforation, and construction demolition. It will serve to highlight the critical technologies, latest developments, and the current capability gaps that serve as barriers to military fielding or transition to the commercial marketplace. It will also explain how the processing technologies can be spun out for use in other non-energetics related industries.

Vibro-Acoustics Fundamentals and Applications Dhanesh N. Manik Those interested in low-frequency vibration are generally concerned with the modal approach of using natural frequencies and mode shapes, whereas those interested in vibro-acoustics in medium and high frequencies are generally concerned with the wave approach. Since both approaches have their advantages, it is a good idea to study both together, for a better understanding of the physics of vibro-acoustics. This book systematically integrates the relevant aspects of vibro-acoustics from various viewpoints.
