The Art ofSystemsArchitectingThird EditionMark W. MaierAerospace Corporation,Chantilly, Virginia, USA

Extensively revised, the third edition of this best-selling text explains how to create a system fromscratch, presenting invention/design rules togetherwith clear explanations of how to use them. Theauthor supplies practical guidelines for avoidingcommon systematic failures while implementingnew mandates. He uses a heuristics-basedapproach that provides an organized attack on veryill-structured engineering problems. Examiningarchitecture as more than a set of diagrams anddocuments, the book looks at architecture as a setof decisions that either drive a system to success ordoom it to failure. It provides methods for integrat-ing business strategy with technical architecturaldecision making.

The MechanicalandThermodynamicalTheory ofPlasticityMehrdad NegahbanUniversity of Nebraska, Lincoln, USA

Spanning every significant facet of the mechanicaland thermodynamics theories of plasticity, this bookprovides an accessible introduction to continuummechanics and thermodynamics for those with min-imal background. Expanding upon what is found ina typical text, the author covers what is needed todevelop and select plasticity models or use them forsolving static and dynamic problems. He also pro-vides material to develop advanced models andevaluate leading-edge applications. The book coversrate- and temperature-dependent plasticity,anisotropic plasticity, thermodynamic constraints,and crystal plasticity.

• Provides a complete, integrated, and accessibleintroduction to continuum mechanics, thermo-dynamics, and plasticity, including rate and thermal effects

• Presents the material in a simple one-dimensionalsetting that provides a foundation to betterunderstand the full dimensional explanation

• Goes beyond equilibrium problems to considerequilibrium, steady-state, and dynamic problems

Nanoscience & Technology

NanotechnologyUnderstanding Small Systems,Second EditionBen Rogers,Sumita Pennathur,and Jesse AdamsA 2011 CHOICEOutstanding AcademicBook Award Winner

“This updated work takes the revolutionary con-cepts and techniques that have traditionally beenfodder for graduate study and makes them accessi-ble for all. Covering subjects ranging from materi-als science to mechanics and biotechnology to pho-tonics, [the authors] deftly introduce the reader toeach topic and quickly explain why it is importanton the nanoscale. An exciting feature is the ‘back ofthe envelope’ examples, where the reader is walkedthrough ‘quick and dirty’ calculations to illustrateand understand (mathematically) the complex con-cepts discussed. … this outstanding introduction tothe broad field of nanotechnology provides a solidfoundation for further study. Highly recommended.”

—N.M. Fahrenkopf, CHOICE, 2011

Through real-world examples, problems, illustra-tions, and applications, the authors accomplish thedelicate task of keeping the book engaging whilenot glossing over real explanations of complex con-cepts. They take a systems approach, demonstratinghow the various areas underlying nanotechnologycome together to create systems with unique func-tions and characteristics.

ProbabilityFoundations for EngineersJoel A. NachlasVirginia Polytechnic Institute andState University, Blacksburg, USA

“I think this will make an excellent introductorybook on probability for engineers and it will pre-pare the IE, CE and EE students for advanced cours-es that deal with random processes.”

—Edward A. Pohl, University of Arkansas

“… a good starting point for more advanced stud-ies. … creates a solid foundation to build up knowl-edge in more advanced statistical research. … Thestrength of the book is that it presents and trans-lates the intuition concerning probability intomathematical structures using examples and expla-nations rather than the traditional approach oftheorem and proof. … perfect for undergraduateengineering students looking for a textbook onprobability."

—Uday Kumar, Luleå University of Technology

“… rewarding and fruitful from the pedagogicalpoint of view. … a valuable tool for engineeringstudents who wants to learn the basic conceptsand notions of probability theory and to be able tomake use of these on engineering problems.”— Christophe Bereguer, Grenoble Institute of Technology
