With numerous examples and exercises throughout, this book describes the control behavior of mechanical objects, such as wave equations, plates, and shells. It presents a complete and up-to-date account of many important advances in the modeling and control of vibrational and structural dynamics. The text applies the differential geometric approach to waves, plates, shells, and quasilinear systems and describes differential geometric energy methods that are generalizations of classical ene...

This book examines the history of the military comfort women system in China. It aims to give readers a deeper insight into the origin, establishment, and operations of comfort stations, as well as tell the sufferings of comfort women, many of whom were coerced into service. It does so by providing historical evidence gathered over 25 years of field studies from 172 comfort stations which were operated in Shanghai, which once had the largest number of military comfort stations, during the ...

This book offers the Mesozoic-Cenozoic magmatic rock evolution and its relationships to tin metallogeny in the Western Yunnan, China. The volume systematically reviews and elaborates on the research advances of major large- to super-large-scale tin polymetallic deposits in China and analyzes the general status of the resource. The book investigates the genesis of 10 typical granite intrusions and 3 representative tin polymetallic deposits in the Western Yunnan Tin Belt. By integrating prev...

This book is devoted to the technology and methodology of individual travel behavior analysis and refined travel information extraction. Traditional resident trip surveys are characterized by many shortcomings, such as subjective memory errors, difficulty in organization and high cost. Therefore, in this book, a set of refined extraction and analysis techniques for individual travel activities is proposed. It provides a solid foundation for the optimization and reconstruction of traffic th...
