The book presents reduction methods that are using tools from dynamical systems theory in order to provide accurate models for nonlinear dynamical solutions occurring in mechanical systems featuring either smooth or non smooth nonlinearities. The cornerstone of the chapters is the use of methods defined in the framework of the invariant manifold theory for nonlinear systems, which allows definitions of efficient methods generating the most parsimonious nonlinear models having minimal dimension, and reproducing the dynamics of the full system under generic assumptions. Emphasis is put on the development of direct computational methods for finite element structures. Once the reduced order model obtained, numerical and analytical methods are detailed in order to get a complete picture of the dynamical solutions of the system in terms of stability and bifurcation. Applications from the MEMS and aerospace industry are covered and analyzed. Geometric nonlinearity, friction nonlinearity and contacts in jointed structures, detection and use of internal resonance, electromechanical and piezoelectric coupling with passive control, parametric driving are surveyed as key applications. The connection to digital twins is reviewed in a general manner, opening the door to the efficient use of invariant manifold theory for nonlinear analysis, design and control of engineering structures.

Construction is the means by which designing architects and engineers transforma design idea into built reality. It is from this perspective that the subject of'building construction design'is dealt with by the architect José Luis Moro inthree comprehensive volumes. Each is dedicated to the methodological,physical and functional fundamentals, the conception of a constructionalsolution, and finally its implementation in the constructional detail. Not only do the three volumes provide extensive content; they also ensure the greatest possible clarity in the text and graphics, in order to make it easier for learners to access the material. Importantly, they focus not only on conveying technical and scientific information, but also on demonstrating the complex relationships and interactions between design, material and construction. Great importance was attached to developing consistent, overarching and meaningful correlations between the numerous and highly diverse topics covered. After an introduction to planning theory topics, Volume 1 ('Fundamentals') addresses sustainability issues in the context of constructional design. This is followed by a discussion of the most important material-related considerations and their consequences for the constructional application of the materials. The range of currently available industrial building products is also presented. Furthermore, the essential requirements and functions that building structures must fulfill from a structural, building physics, building acoustics and fire protection perspective are examined. In closing, the book considers questions of durability.
