MechAnicAl ViBrAtion And Shock AnAlySiS

by Christian lalanne
a new and fully revised edition
this important five-volume series has been written with both the professional engineer
and the academic in mind. Christian lalanne explores every aspect of vibration and
shock, two fundamental and extremely significant areas of mechanical engineering,
from both a theoretical and practical point of view. as all products need to be designed
to withstand the environmental conditions to which they are likely to be subjected,
prototypes must be verified by calculation and undergo laboratory tests to meet national
and international standards.
the five volumes of Mechanical Vibration and Shock Analysis cover all the necessary
issues in this area of mechanical engineering. the theoretical analyses are placed in
the context of both the real world and the laboratory, which is essential for the
development of specifications.

the relative and absolute response of a mechanical system with a single degree of freedom
is considered for an arbitrary excitation and its transfer function is defined in various forms.
the characteristics of sinusoidal vibration are looked at from both a real world and laboratory
point of view, along with the transient and steady-state response of the 1-dof system. Both
viscous and non-linear damping are considered.
the various types of swept sine and their properties are described and, for the 1-dof system, the
consequences of an inappropriate choice of sweep rate are discussed. rules governing the choice of suitable
sweep rates are then developed from this.

Mechanical Shock
this volume considers the shock response spectrum, its various definitions, properties and
the assumptions involved in its calculation. in developing the practical application of these
concepts, the forms of shock most often used with test facilities are presented together with
their characteristics and indications of how to establish test configurations comparable with
those in the real, measured environment.
this is followed by a demonstration of how to meet these specifications using standard laboratory equipment
– shock machines, electrodynamic exciters driven by a time signal or a response spectrum – with a
discussion on the limitations, advantages and disadvantages of each method.

random Vibration
the vast majority of vibrations encountered in the real environment are random in nature.
such vibrations are intrinsically complicated and this volume describes the process that
enables us to simplify the required analysis, along with the analysis of the signal in the
frequency domain.
the power spectrum density is also defined, together with the requisite precautions to be
taken in its calculations as well as the processes (windowing, overlapping) necessary to obtain improved
results.
an additional complementary method – the analysis of statistical properties of the time signal – is also
described. this enables the distribution law of the maxima of a random Gaussian signal to be determined
and simplifies the calculation of fatigue damage by avoiding direct peak counting.

fatigue damage
Fatigue damage in a system with one degree of freedom is one of the two criteria applied
when comparing the severity of vibratory environments. the same criterion is also used for a
specification representing the effects produced by the set of vibrations imposed in a real
environment. in this volume, which is devoted to the calculation of fatigue damage, Christian
lalanne explores the hypotheses adopted to describe the behavior of material affected by
fatigue and the laws of fatigue accumulation.
the author also considers the methods for counting response peaks, which are used to establish the
histogram when it is not possible to use the probability density of the peaks obtained with a Gaussian signal.
the expressions for mean damage and its standard deviation are established and other hypotheses are
tested.

Specification development
this volume concerns the presentation of specification development according to the principle
of tailoring. the extreme response and the fatigue damage spectra are defined for each type
of stress (sinusoidal vibration, swept sine, shock, random vibration, etc.).
the process for establishing a specification from the lifecycle profile of equipment is then
discussed, taking into account the uncertainty factor (designed to cover uncertainties related
to the real environment and mechanical strength) and the test factor (taking into account the number of tests
performed to demonstrate the resistance of the equipment).

Solid Mechanics using the finite element Method

Alain Berlioz, Toulouse University, France and Philippe Trompette, Consultant, France
after a short review of the basic principles of how the finite element method works, the authors
address some of the key aspects of solid mechanics: What is a beam? When and how can
a structure be represented by beam elements? What are the basic assumptions? What kind
of information does a beam model provide? a generalized beam element is also presented.
the same approach is used for a discussion of stress concentrations and stress singularities.
Further chapters are devoted to plate modeling: coupling of membrane and bending, folded, stiffened,
composite plates, and to a presentation of the dynamics of structures with a particular focus on the modal
method. the influence of local failures in the modal response is also analyzed. a commercial software
(ansys®) is used in the examples.

Mechanical instability
Tomasz Krysinski, Consultant and François Malburet, ENSAM, Aix-en-Provence,
France
this book presents a study of the stability of mechanical systems, i.e. their free response
when they are removed from their position of equilibrium after a temporary disturbance.
after reviewing the main analytical methods of the dynamical stability of systems, it highlights
the fundamental difference in nature between the phenomena of forced resonance vibration
of mechanical systems subjected to an imposed excitation and instabilities that characterize
their free response.
it specifically develops instabilities arising from the rotor–structure coupling, instability of control systems, the
self-sustained instabilities associated with the presence of internal damping and instabilities related to the
fluid–structure coupling for fixed and rotating structures.
For an original approach following the analysis of instability phenomena, the book provides examples of
solutions obtained by passive or active methods.
Contents
1. notions of instability.
2. rotor–structure coupling: examples of ground resonance and air resonance.
3. Chain torsion: instability of feedback systems.
4. self-sustained instability.
5. Fluid–structure interaction.

Microfluidics
Edited by Stéphane Colin, University of Toulouse, France
the recent development of microtechnologies nowadays makes it possible to design complex
microsystems devoted to transport, dosing, mixing, analysis or even synthesis of fluids.
applications are numerous and concern every industrial field, as varied as biotechnologies or
aeronautics. Microfluidics is quite a new research area relating to microsystems involving
internal flows with characteristic dimensions of the order of one micrometer.
the goal of this book is to provide engineers or researchers with tools for modeling, experimenting on and
simulating these microflows, as a preliminary step for designing and optimizing fluidic microsystems. the
various consequences of miniaturization on the hydrodynamics of gas, liquid or two-phase flows, as well as
on associated heat transfer, are analyzed.
the book is illustrated with examples showing the diversity and originality of fluidic microsystems.

Arbitrary lagrangian-eulerian fluid–Structure interaction

nuMericAl SiMulAtion
Edited by Mhamed Souli, Lille University, France and David J. Benson, University of
California, San Diego, USA.
this book provides the fundamental basics for solving fluid-structure interaction problems,
and describes different algorithms and numerical methods used to solve problems where
fluid and structure can be weakly or strongly coupled.
the added mass technique is described first. Following this, for general coupling problems
involving large deformation of the structure, the navier-stokes equations need to be solved in a moving mesh
using an ale formulation. the main aspects of the fluid structure coupling are then developed. the first and
by far simplest coupling method is explicit partitioned coupling. in order to preserve the flexibility and
modularity that are inherent in the partitioned coupling, we also describe the implicit partitioned coupling using
an iterative process. in order to reduce computational time for large-scale problems, an introduction to the
Proper orthogonal decomposition (Pod) technique applied to Fsi problems is also presented. to extend the
application of coupling problems, mathematical descriptions and numerical simulations of multiphase problems
using level set techniques for interface tracking are presented and illustrated using specific coupling problems.

grounds. the main different methods of approach are considered, ranging from statistical
modeling at various degrees of complexity to numerical simulations of turbulence.
after a discussion of the basic concepts, mathematical tools and methods for closure, the book
considers second order closure models. emphasis is placed upon this approach because it embodies potentials
for clarifying numerous problems in turbulent shear flows.

this book introduces the finite element method applied to the resolution of industrial heat
transfer problems.
starting from steady conduction, the method is gradually extended to transient regimes, to
traditional non-linearities and to convective phenomena. Coupled problems involving heat
transfer are then presented. three types of couplings are discussed: coupling through boundary conditions
(such as radiative heat transfer in cavities), addition of state variables (such as metallurgical phase change)
and coupling through partial differential equations (such as electrical phenomena). a review of the various
thermal phenomena is drawn up, which an engineer can simulate.

combined Analysis
Daniel Chateigner, ENSICAEN, France
this title starts with some basic notions concerning diffraction by polycrystals and some of
the most common combined analysis instrumental set-ups are detailed. Powder diffraction
data treatment is introduced and in particular, the rietveld analysis is detailed.
the book deals with automatic phase indexing, a necessary step to solve a structure ab-
initio. since its effect prevails on real samples where textures are often stabilized,
quantitative texture analysis is also detailed. also discussed are microstructures of the powder diffraction
profiles; quantitative phase analysis from the rietveld analysis; residual stress analysis for isotropic and
anisotropic materials; specular x-ray reflectivity and the various associated models. Finally, the book
introduces the combined analysis concept, showing all the dilemmas that appear when one looks at only one
part of the analyses.

heat transfer in Materials forming processes

with eXerciSeS And SolutionS
Jean-Luc Battaglia, University of Bordeaux, France
this book presents the resolution of thermal problems in various processes of working
material such as molding, cutting, welding or grinding. two steps are presented for each type
of application.
the first is analytical, leading to general solutions that are well-adapted to the needs of the
engineer at the time of the first dimensioning of the processes.
the second approach is based on the finite element method. this method makes it possible to solve each
problem with greater precision but at the price of a longer and more expensive implementation, thus providing
the reader with the advantages and disadvantages of the different approaches, so that they can make a more
informed decision when applying these methods. the inclusion of practical exercises and solutions also
allows the reader to enrich their understanding by applying their knowledge to real-life cases.

plastic forming processes

Maurice Reyne, Consultant
Many books covering plastic materials analyze the behavior of these materials based on their
chemical components or their mechanical properties from mathematical concepts.
these approaches, which are fundamental for research, do not concern “transformers” or
users who need practical advice. nevertheless, there are approximately 20 basic
implementation techniques and each of them is distinguished by specific case studies which
gradually become more functional.
the aim of this book is therefore to analyze, in a quasi-exhaustive manner, the different
processes which are currently used or are being created in either design, coupling or treatments specifically
used. it is thus written to assist readers in their choice-making. in order to explain these different points in a
practical, even pragmatic, way, the reader will find approximately 400 figures or photos that describe the points.

duplex Stainless Steels

Edited by Suzanne Degallaix-Moreuil, Ecole Centrale de Lille, France and
Iris Alvarez-Armas, CONICET and UNR, Argentina
duplex stainless steels (dsss) are chromium-nickel-molybdenum-iron alloys that are usually
in proportions optimized for equalizing the volume fractions of austenite and ferrite. due to
their ferritic-austenitic microstructure, they possess a higher mechanical strength and a better
corrosion resistance than standard austenitic steels. this type of steel is now increasing its
application and market field due to its very good properties and relatively low cost.
this book is a review of the most recent progress achieved in the last 10 years on microstructure, corrosion
resistance and mechanical strength properties, as well as applications, due to the development of new
grades. special attention will be given to fatigue and fracture behavior and to proposed models to account
for mechanical behavior. each subject will be developed in chapters written by experts recognized around the
international industrial and scientific communities.
the use of duplex stainless steels has grown rapidly in the last 10 years, particularly in the oil and gas
industry, chemical tankers, pulp and paper as well as the chemical industry. in all these examples, topics like
welding, corrosion resistance and mechanical strength properties (mainly in the fatigue domain) are crucial.
therefore, the update of welding and corrosion properties and the introduction of topics like texture effects,
fatigue and fracture strength properties, and mechanical behavior modeling give this book specific focus and
character.

Micromechanics of granular Materials

Edited by Bernard Cambou, Ecole Centrale de Lyon, Michel Jean, LMA, Marseille, and
Farhang Radjaï, University of Montpellier 2, France
this title’s main focus is devoted to static or dynamic loadings applied to dense materials,
although rapid flows and widely dispersed media are also mentioned briefly.
three essential areas are covered:
local variable analysis: contact forces, displacements and rotations, orientation of contacting
particles and fabric tensors are all examples of local variables. their statistical distributions, such as spatial
distribution and possible localization, are analyzed, taking into account experimental results or numerical
simulations.
Change of scales procedures: also known as “homogenization techniques”, these procedures make it
possible to construct continuum laws to be used in a continuum mechanics approach or perform smaller
scale analyses.
numerical modeling: several methods designed to calculate approximate solutions of dynamical equations
together with unilateral contact and frictional laws are presented, including molecular dynamics, the distinct
element method and non-smooth contact dynamics.

MethodS And StrAtegieS in SpAtiAl MArketing
Edited by Gérard Cliquet, University of Rennes 1, France
this title describes the state of the art in all areas of spatial marketing, discussing the various constituents
which make up the geography of markets.
demand varies according to location and can be measured according to revenue, the number of households,
spending patterns and lifestyles. supply is also dependent on position, because prices, services, products
and available shops rely on location, while the difference between supply and demand is the rationale for the
role of the trader.
the book also covers the way geographic techniques help to solve marketing problems and contains
chapters written by contributors with extensive experience in this field; given that it is crucial for companies
to direct their marketing correctly at their target audience, this will be indispensable reading for those involved
in this area.

from Speech physiology to linguistic phonetics

Alain Marchal, CNRS, University of Provence, France
Communicating by speech is one of the most seemingly-natural activities for humans.
However, despite its apparent obviousness and ease, speech production is a very complex
task with multiple levels of organization transforming cognitive intent into a meaningful
sequence of sounds.
this book aims to establish a bridge between the physiology of speech and linguistics. it
provides a detailed account of the speech production processes and indicates how various languages of the
world make use of human anthropophonic capacities. numerous images are included to enhance the
reader’s understanding. it also offers new insights into ways to unify articulatory-based phonetics and
phonology, making it essential reading matter for anyone involved in this field.
Contents
1. respiration and pulmonary initiation.
2. Phonation and the larynx.
3. articulation: pharynx and mouth.
4. articulation: the labio-mandibular system.
5. elements of an articulatory typology.
6. the articulatory description of vowels and consonants.

Artificial Beings
the conScience of A conSciouS MAchine
Jacques Pitrat, LIP6, University of Paris 6, France
everybody agrees that consciousness and conscience are essential characteristics of human
intelligence. some people believe that it is impossible to create artificial beings with these
possibilities, and they conclude that the ultimate goal of artificial intelligence is hopeless.
Artificial Beings shows that not only is it possible to create artificial beings with capacities in
both domains, but that they do it in a way different from ours, creating a new kind of consciousness.
this affords them performances that we cannot reach, not for lack of intelligence, but because our intelligence
depends on networks of neurones imposing restrictions which do not apply to computers.
at the start of the creation of an artificial scientist, the main goal was not to study the possibility of building
the conscience of a conscious machine. However, after some years of experimentation, it happened that
many characteristics implemented for improving the efficiency of the system were linked to these capacities.
so, when they are present, it is because they are essential for the performances. Moreover, as the goal was
not to imitate human behavior, some of these methods are different from those used by the neurones in the
human brain. in this way, we are at the threshold of a new science, artificial cognition, which is interested in
the methods for giving cognitive capabilities to artificial beings making full use of the power of computers.

A to z of Sudoku
the Science Behind Sudoku…
Narendra Jussien, Ecole des Mines, Nantes, France
the science behind sudoku…
sudoku is a logic puzzle that has become a worldwide phenomenon in the last few years: but where has it
come from? How does it work? and what is the science behind sudoku – what are the rules for generating
and solving grids?
answers to all of these questions can be found in the A to Z of Sudoku. as its title suggests, this book
provides a “one stop shop” on sudoku, covering the history of the puzzle, its development and growth in the
world’s media, before moving on to the mathematics of sudoku and various techniques that can be used to
solve grids by hand.
next, the essentials of software development relating to sudoku are presented along with the recent branch
of computer science devoted to solving such problems: constraint programming, showing how the principle
behind solving sudoku grids can be used in other contexts. Finally, the book concludes with a large number
of grids ranging in difficulty from “very easy” to “expert” which the reader can use to apply the techniques they
have acquired from the book in a practical context.
those interested in finding out more about the theory behind sudoku, its origins, its applications in other fields
and (of course) how to improve their ability to solve it will find this book a must-read.

communicating embedded Systems

SoftwAre And deSign
Edited by Claude Jard, ENS Cachan and Olivier H. Roux, Nantes University, France
the increased complexity of embedded systems coupled with quick design cycles to
accommodate faster time-to-market requires increased system design productivity that
involves both model-based design and tool-supported methodologies.
Formal methods are mathematically-based techniques and provide a clean framework in
which to express requirements and models of the systems, taking into account discrete, stochastic and
continuous (timed or hybrid) parameters with increasingly efficient tools.
this book deals with these formal methods applied to communicating embedded systems by presenting the
related industrial challenges and the issues of modeling, model-checking, diagnosis and control synthesis,
and by describing the main associated automated tools.

Systems of Systems
Edited by Dominique Luzeaux and Jean-René Ruault, French Ministry of Defense, France
in recent decades, the systems designed in the fields of banking, health, transportation,
space, aeronautics, defense, etc. have been becoming increasingly larger. With the growing
maturity of information and communication technologies, systems have been interconnected
within growing networks, yielding new services through the combination of the system
functionalities. this has led to an increasing complexity that has to be managed in order to
take advantage of these system integrations.
Part 1 “systems of systems: concepts and practical illustrations” is a multidisciplinary work on the concept of
the "systems of systems" that is discussed extensively in current literature. after a critical comparison of the
different definitions and a range of various practical illustrations, it provides key answers as to what a system
of systems is and how its complexity can be mastered.
Part 2 “systems of systems engineering: methods, standards and tools”’ focuses on both engineering and
modeling, and standardization issues which are critical in order to deal with the key steps of systems-of-
systems engineering: elicitation of stakeholders’ needs, architecture optimization, integration of constituent
systems, qualification and utilization.

Software Specification Methods

An oVerView uSing A cASe Study
Edited by Henri Habrias, University of Nantes, France and Marc Frappier, University of Sherbrooke,
Canada
this book introduces several key software specification methods. each method is presented using the same
example, an invoicing system, allowing the reader to compare and contrast. every chapter follows a rigorous
pattern whereby techniques and notations are gradually introduced through questions which are asked to an
imaginary user.
Most specification courses tend to focus on one or two key techniques and have a theoretical bias; however,
this title provides a clear overview of the main methods, and has a practical focus that allows the reader to
apply their knowledge to real-life situations. the following are just some of the techniques covered: UMl, Z,
tla+, saZ, B, oMt, VHdl, estelle, sdl and lotos.

probabilistic combinatorial optimization on graphs

Cécile Murat and Vangelis Th. Paschos, University of Paris-Dauphine, France
this title provides a comprehensive survey over the subject of probabilistic combinatorial optimization,
discussing probabilistic versions of some of the most paradigmatic combinatorial problems on graphs, such
as the maximum independent set, the minimum vertex covering, the longest path and the minimum coloring.
detailed discussion is given to a priori optimization, which is adopted as the main working hypothesis: starting
from an a priori solution of a ‘super instance’ of a problem, where any datum is present with a certain
probability, this hypothesis consists of creating modifications in order to fit the real instance to be optimized:
that is, a sub-instance of the super instance. the main objective of the a priori optimization is the
determination of a solution of the initial instance, known as the a priori solution, so that its restriction to the
offensive instance is optimized, and the determination of the complexity of its computation. the text also
includes a list of combinatorial optimization graph-problems together with a characterization of their optimal
a priori solution.

the internet of things

connecting oBJectS
Edited by Hakima Chaouchi, TELECOM SudParis, France
the path towards communication ubiquity started years ago with the aim of offering users
different services anytime and anywhere. this is becoming true only because wireless and
mobile communication have had a remarkable evolution, as has the miniaturization of mobile
terminals, while keeping high performance and security.
the internet of things appears to be the ultimate or next step of ubiquitous networks. it is the imminent future
generation of networks that will connect not only networked terminals (mobile phones, computers, smart
devices), but also everyday objects that were until now just “un-networked things” or “inert objects”. this will
be possible by combining the evolving technologies and networking frameworks to be capable of attaining
this very challenging new era of communication.
this book puts forward the technologies and the networking architectures which make it possible to support
the internet of things. amongst these technologies, rFid, sensor and PlC technologies are described and
a clear view on how they enable the internet of things is given.
this book also provides a good overview of the main issues facing the internet of things such as issues of
privacy and security, application and usage, and standardization.

ultra-wideband radio propagation channels

Pascal Pagani, France Telecom R&D, Friedman Tchoffo Talom, Satimo, Patrice Pajusco,
Consultant and Bernard Uguen, University of Rennes 1, France
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology consists of transmitting radio signals over frequency
bandwidths from 500 MHz to several GHz. its unique characteristics may be exploited for the
design of high data rate wireless communication systems, as well as localization and imaging
applications. the development and optimization of such systems require a precise knowledge
of the radio transmission medium.
this textbook examines all aspects of the propagation channel for UWB systems. UWB technology is first
presented, with a particular emphasis being placed on its applications, spectrum regulation issues and the
different communication techniques.
next, the authors introduce the theoretical bases of radioelectric propagation and give an overview of the
channel sounding techniques adapted for UWB signals. the two main principles of UWB channel modeling
are finally shown and illustrated: deterministic channel modeling, based on the simulation of the propagation
phenomena in a given environment, and statistical channel modeling, which relies on the experimental
analysis of the main channel characteristics.

Barbara De Salvo, LETI CEA, France
semiconductor flash memory is an indispensable component of modern electronic systems
which has gained a strategic position in recent decades due to the progressive shift from
computing to consumer (and particularly mobile) products as revenue drivers for integrated
Circuits (iC) companies.
this book provides a comprehensive overview of the different technological approaches currently being
studied to fulfill future memory requirements. two main research paths are identified and discussed. different
“evolutionary paths” based on the use of new materials (such as silicon nanocrystals for storage nodes and
high-k insulators for active dielectrics) and of new transistor structures (such as multi-gate devices) are
investigated in order to extend classical floating gate technology to the 32 nm node.

unmanned Aerial Vehicles

eMBedded control
Edited by Rogelio Lozano, University of Technology of Compiègne, France
the development of unmanned aerial vehicles has interested many researchers in recent
years. the objective is to design aerial objects able to complete surveillance missions in the
most autonomous way possible. this assumes they have the ability to complete stable and
solid, disturbance-free hovering or horizontal flights.
the authors present tools needed to obtain dynamic models for several types of aerial objects such as
helicopters, airplanes, airships, flying objects and quadri-rotors. they also address non-linear control
strategies for each aerodynamic configuration as well as the use of cameras for locating and stabilizing the
flying object. the approach presented discusses theoretical as well as practical aspects.
this book presents several prototypes for the experimental validation of the aerodynamic configurations and
algorithms proposed. the computer architectures and sensors used are also explained in detail.

Microrobotics is an emerging and booming area with many and various applications:
industrial, medical, laboratory instrumentation, etc.
Microrobotics for Micromanipulation presents for the first time, in detail, the sector of robotics
for handling objects of micrometer dimensions. at these dimensions, the behavior of objects
is significantly different from the better known, higher scales, which leads us to implement solutions
sometimes radically different from those most commonly used.
this book details the behavior of objects at the micrometer scale and suitable robotics solutions, in terms of
actuators, grippers, manipulators, environmental perception and microtechnology.
this book includes corrected exercises, enabling engineers, students and researchers to familiarize
themselves with this emerging area and to contribute to its development through scientific measures.

Artificial Beings
the conScience of A conSciouS MAchine
Jacques Pitrat, LIP6, University of Paris 6, France
everybody agrees that consciousness and conscience are essential characteristics of human
intelligence. some people believe that it is impossible to create artificial beings with these
possibilities, and they conclude that the ultimate goal of artificial intelligence is hopeless.
Artificial Beings shows that not only is it possible to create artificial beings with capacities in
both domains, but that they do it in a way different from ours, creating a new kind of consciousness.
this affords them performances that we cannot reach, not for lack of intelligence, but because our intelligence
depends on networks of neurones imposing restrictions which do not apply to computers.
at the start of the creation of an artificial scientist, the main goal was not to study the possibility of building
the conscience of a conscious machine. However, after some years of experimentation, it happened that
many characteristics implemented for improving the efficiency of the system were linked to these capacities.
so, when they are present, it is because they are essential for the performances. Moreover, as the goal was
not to imitate human behavior, some of these methods are different from those used by the neurones in the
human brain. in this way, we are at the threshold of a new science, artificial cognition, which is interested in
the methods for giving cognitive capabilities to artificial beings making full use of the power of computers.
Contents
1. Presenting the actors.
2. Consciousness and Conscience.
3. What does "itself" mean for an artificial being?
4. some aspects of consciousness.
5. Why is auto-observation useful?
6. How to observe oneself.
7. the conscience.

9. around the conscience.

Branching random walks in non-homogenous

environments
Elena Yarovaya, Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, Moscow, Russia
the book is devoted to a modern section of the probability theory, the so-called theory of
branching random walks.
Chapter 1 describes the random walk model in the finite branching one-source environment.
Chapter 2 is devoted to a model of homogenous, symmetrical, irreducible random walk
(without branching) with finite variance of the jumps on the multidimensional integer continuous-time lattice
where transition is possible to an arbitrary point of the lattice and not only to the neighbor state. this model
is a generalization of the simple symmetrical random walk often encountered in the applied studies.
in Chapter 3 the branching random walk is studied by means of the spectral methods. Here, the property of
monotonicity of the mean number of particles in the source plays an important role in the subsequent parts
of the book. Chapter 4 demonstrates that existence of an isolated positive eigenvalue in the spectrum of δ-
perturbed random walk generator and defines the exponential growth of the process in the supercritical case.
Chapter 5 exemplifies application of the tauberian theorems in the asymptotical problems of the probability
theory. the final Chapters 6 and 7 are devoted to detailed examination of survival probabilities in the critical
and subcritical cases.
Contents
1. Model description and Basic equations. 5. Moments in the Critical and subcritical Cases.
2. random Walk without branching. 6. limit theorems for the Critical Case.
3. spectral Classification of the First Moments. 7. limit theorems for the subcritical Case.
4. limit theorem for the supercritical Case.

Mathematical Methods in Survival Analysis, reliability

and quality of life
Edited by Catherine Huber, Nikolaos Limnios, Mounir Mesbah and Mikhail Nikulin
reliability and survival analysis are important applications of stochastic mathematics
(probability, statistics and stochastic processes) that are usually covered separately in spite
of the similarity of the involved mathematical theory.
this title aims to redress this situation: it includes 21 chapters divided into four parts: survival
analysis, reliability, Quality of life, and related topics. Many of these chapters were presented at the
european seminar on Mathematical Methods for survival analysis, reliability and Quality of life in 2006.

particle Swarm optimization

Maurice Clerc, France Télécom, France
this is the first book devoted entirely to Particle swarm optimization (Pso), which is a non-specific algorithm,
similar to evolutionary algorithms, such as taboo search and ant colonies. since its original development in
1995, Pso has mainly been applied to continuous-discrete heterogenous strongly non-linear numerical
optimization and it is thus used almost everywhere in the world. its convergence rate also makes it a
preferred tool in dynamic optimization.

Sustainable development in the uSA

Jean-Marc Zaninetti, University of Orléans, France
after the second World War, the Usa proposed their way of life, based on an unlimited
consumption of land, goods and energy, as a model for the entire world. nowadays, this
expansionist model is reaching its limit.
this book attempts a comprehensive study of the geographical basis of the american
settlements, as part of the Us overshooting is related to geography due to harsh climates and
the continental size of the nation.
However, another element is the result of the cultural habits of expansion and segregation. Urban sprawl, for
instance, is the real achilles' heel of america, because it challenges the cultural revolution required by
sustainability.

the high fertility rates resulting from immigration. – life expectancy and the ageing population.
the contrasted geography of ageing. – immigrants in the United states. – america’s gates.
4. a multiethnic population
indigenous peoples. – a nation of immigrants. – the black question. – Mexamerica. – asian
settlement geography.
5. regional dynamics
U.s. settlement: the broad picture. – regional dynamics from 1930 to 2005.
6. the territorial implication of economic change
the changing economy. – the general economic growth. – industrial changes. – a population on the
move. – retirement migrations.
7. the suburban nation
Urban spread. – america’s large Metropolises. – Why urban sprawl challenges sustainable
development. – Urban sprawl around intermediate cities.
8. Urban Fragmentation
social gap and urban polarization. – Fragmented cities: the governance issue. – the crisis of central
cities.
