When it comes to climate change, circularity has become a major topic. Closed loops, reuse, recycling, and renewable materials are fashionable ideas in architecture and product design. In order to establish the new paradigm of circular design, this book introduces an urban and territorial dimension to the goal of transforming living spaces for resilience and sustainability. It proposes to use design-led research and design-thinking for analysis, concepts, strategies, and cooperative processes of transformation. Featuring case studies from all over Europe that relate creative narratives in urbanism to social and economic innovation, Circular Design aims to activate dynamic fields and networks of ideas, people, and spaces, oriented to circular principles.

Cosmopolitan Habitat promotes a research agenda for urban resilience, understanding cities as global avant-garde dealing with the planetary challenges of climate change, migration, and social fragmentation. Within the framework of the Green Deal, Europe is advancing ideas and innovations aimed at manifesting change and long-term strategies for our cities in order to achieve the aims of resilience and sustainability. At the same time, we are facing the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on our cities and on our ways of imagining and constructing urban futures. How can cities become new, concrete places to invent, explore, experiment, and live in open communities that are able to face global challenges while also enhancing liveability, inclusivity, and urban economies? Cosmopolitan Habitat presents conceptual models, urban strategies, and spatial practices for the Open City, combining urbanism, architecture, humanities, culture, economy, and politics.

This bestselling German textbook, now available in English, presents undergraduates in mechanical and civil engineering with a clear knowledge of engineering mechanics. It covers numerous topics, and each chapter contains a variety of problems and solutions.

Das Aufgabenbuch zur Technischen Mechanik 2 (Elastostatik, Hydrostatik) enthalt die wichtigsten Formeln und etwa 150 vollstandig geloste Aufgaben. Weil der Weg zum erfolgreichen Studium der Technischen Mechanik uber das selbstandige Losen von Aufgaben fuhrt, legen die Autoren besonderen Wert darauf, dass Leser befahigt werden Losungswege zu finden und Grundgleichungen zu erstellen. In dem Band werden folgende Themen behandelt: Spannung und Verzerrung, Zug und Druck, Biegung, Torsion, der Arbeitsbegriff in der Elastostatik, Stabilitat, Hydrostatik.

Die Neuauflage des Buches wurde wiederum deutlich erweitert. Sie enthalt die wichtigsten Formeln und mehr als 190 vollstandig geloste Aufgaben zur Kinetik und Hydrodynamik. Besonderer Wert wird auf das Finden des Losungsweges und das Erstellen der Grundgleichungen gelegt. Behandelte Themen sind: - Kinematik des Punktes - Kinetik des Massenpunktes - Bewegung eines Systems von Massenpunkten - Kinematik des starren Korpers - Kinetik des starren Korpers - Stovorgange - Schwingungen - Relativbewegung - Prinzipien der Mechanik - Hydrodynamik

The book presents the latest findings in experimental plasticity, crystal plasticity, phase transitions, advanced mathematical modeling of finite plasticity and multi-scale modeling.
