FUGRO GNSS TRAINING — OSD 412 COMPLETE SET

This publication provides the content of the official GNSS training developed and released by Fugro. The Starfix Suite had its beginnings about 1997 with its concepts as a highly modular set of Microsoft windows applications all talking together via Message Manager, and synchronized via the Time subsystem. Once the basic backbone and basic modules were in place, it became much faster to bring new applications online, for much of the functionality such as interfacing, displays, logging, time series plotting etc was already written and proven.

Two navigation modules were written due to fundamentally differing requirements. Starfix Nav was written and supported by John Chance as a navigation engine sitting on top of their Gulf of Mexico database - this is what was required for their operations. In Perth Australia, the DOS based PCNav/PCBarge which were in wide use around the Fugro companies was replaced by Starfix Seis - basically a classic line running type application. Adherence to Starfix Suite Compliance - a set of rules etc on how Starfix Suite applications talk to each other - by the software developers also then determined how well all the other applications could be used by either Nav or Seis.

FROM SAIL TO STEAM — RECOLLECTIONS OF NAVAL LIFE

This book is a real treasure for the people having interest in the history of the United States Navy fleet - we are quite sure that all of them will find the content of this volume fascinating, since the author of the volume did join the early Navy and the story before the Civil War, and the story of his naval life is really very interesting. The book shows the readers that the author was developing his views causing him to write this text on sea power.

Some perfectly dry humour of the author is making reading the book not only cognitive but also very enjoyable. This is one of the most popular books by Alfred Thayer Mohan. The book is a reproduction of the original classic edition dated early last century, with the quality significantly improved. The content is culturally important for everyone who like sea.

Long story short, we do recommend the present publication not only to the specialists in the marine industry and naval history but also to the general reader and even to the people having no marine background but still interested with marine life and naval history. We are quite sure that they will not get disappointed with this volume and consider deserving a place in their collection of books.

FRESHWATER HERITAGE: A HISTORY OF SAIL ON THE GREAT LAKES, 1670—1918

The author of this volume, Don Bamford, has represented the culmination of the lifelong human passion for sailing and also for the sailing history as applied to Canada. Being a professional sailor and boat builder, he is taking readers so deep into the sailing to feel its spirit, as applicable to the major historical events on the Lakes and to the interesting stories of the men and places there.

The remarkably extensive historical research conducted by the author will take you back to the times of European contact. The author chronicles the truly glory times of the schooners and brigs, warships dominating the Great Lakes during the war, particularly focusing on the War of 1812. He has also paid particular attention to the ship constructors and naval architects and to the real life challenges on building these vessels in the wild conditions of the colonies.

The author is also documenting the critical role that was played by the sailing ships in the process of settlement, and capturing the commercial role of sailing on the Great Lakes. The book is richly illustrated with numerous archival photographs and the content is supported with a full index. Will be equally appreciated by the armchair historians and people who actually love sailing...

FRACTURE AND BENDING MECHANICS

The book prepared by Robert Khan and Erich Cavazos is dedicated to the fracture mechanics - this is the field of mechanics that is mainly concerned with the cracks propagation within materials. Fracture mechanics uses various established and proven methods of the analytical mechanics of solids in order to perform calculations of the driving forces on the cracks and the methods of experimental mechanics of solids to characterize the resistance of the materials to fracturing. In contemporary materials science, the fracture mechanics is considered one of the most important instruments in improving mechanical performance of the materials and components of mechanical systems.

Fracture mechanics is applying the physics of stress and strain, especially theories of plasticity/elasticity, to the micro-crystallographic details revealed in the real materials for prediction of the macroscopic mechanical failures. It widely uses the fractography for better understanding and explanation of the causes of failures and to verify the theoretically predicted mechanical failures with real-life failures. The book consists of thirteen chapters, addressing the fracture mechanisms and toughness, fatigue and fractography, peridynamics and bending, stress, mechanics of the structural fracture, and other aspects.

FOURTH INTERNATIONAL SHIP STABILITY WORKSHOP — 1998 — ST. LOUIS

Since the very date of its foundation in 1995, the Ship Stability Workshop has provided the industry experts with the excellent opportunities to gather together and also present the very latest research results. The present Workshop is intended to give some sort of overview of the current situation and the discussions that have been developed from technical presentations is forms a part of the meeting.

These notes are sort of attempt to summarize the discussion in each of the areas, but the very nature of the discussion leads in interesting directions, not necessarily tied in to the topic which initiated the thought. Therefore, there is some structure to these notes, but they certainly are not a verbatim record of the meetings, and they have been edited to make them more structured, since similar topics arose at different times during the meetings. The summaries are ordered in the same sequence as the presentation topics.

The first presentation is intended to highlight some of the developments in the area of numerical and physical modeling of intact stability. This includes hybrid models, use and validation of numerical models, simple capsize criteria, visualization of the data etc. The hybrid models are essentially linear, however there is some non-linear capability. In this chapter a new method for expanding the ship theory type programs is presented and include capsizing due to the stability failure...

FOUNDATIONS OF MECHANICS

Since the time when the very first release of this book appeared fifty years ago, a truly great deal of activity has been there in simplistic geometry and also in the Hamiltonian systems. The general audience of the present edition of the volume remains the same as it used to be for the initial one, namely practicing engineers working in the field of mechanics and interested in the geometrical methods, physists, mathematicians and other professionals.

The authors have also included the fundamental results in manifold theory plus the most important facts from the point set topology. Significant updates have been made relating to the qualitative theory and symmetry groups, several completely new chapters addressing the rigid body, mechanics, topology and quantization, plus other chapters; many corrections have been made to the original content of the volume.

The book is divided into four major parts - the first part is titled Preliminaries and covers the differential equations and calculus of manifolds, while the second part deals with the analytical dynamics covering the Langrangian and Hamiltonian systems, mathematical systems etc. The third part of the book provides an outline of the qualitative dynamics, including topological, differentiable and Hamiltonian dynamics. The last part is dedicated to the celestial mechanics...
