 Handbook of Vehicle-Road Interaction: Vehicle Dynamics, Suspension Design, and Road Damage By David Cebon 2000 | 616 Pages | ISBN: 9026515545 | PDF | 34 MB This handbook discusses tyre-road contact forces generated by heavy vehicles, their influence on road surface and bridge response and damage, as well as ways of regulating and improving vehicles so as to minimise road damage.The main incentive for understanding vehicle-road interaction is the possibility of reducing the road damage caused by heavy vehicles and the very high associated costs. This may be achieved by highway authorities, through improved design and construction of roads; by government agencies, through regulations intended to encourage the use of more 'road-friendly' vehicles; or by vehicle engineers, through design of improved vehicle configurations and suspensions, which minimise road damage.The book provides a unified mechanistic approach to the entire subject, covering the main topics of vehicle dynamics; dynamic tyre forces; weigh-in-motion; pavement and bridge response; damage mechanisms of paving materials; vehicle-guideway interaction; suspension design to minimise road damage, and assessing road-damaging potential of vehicles for regulatory purposes. It includes 25 literature reviews, covering topics from asphalt deformation to weigh-in-motion, and citing over 500 references. It discusses both the fundamental mechanics of the mechanical and civil engineering systems, as well as practical and implementation issues, and therefore provides both a first introduction to the subject and a comprehensive reference source.This handbook is essential reading for mechanical and civil engineers, researchers and policy makers in the heavy vehicle and highway engineering industries.

Gregory the Great: A Symposium By John C. Cavadini (Editor) 2001 | 235 Pages | ISBN: 0268010439 | PDF | 2 MB A group of renowned North American scholars gathered at the University of Notre Dame in 1993 for a symposium on Pope Gregory the Great (550-604). This volume presents essays delivered at the conference, together with additional contributions. In these essays Gregory emerges as a figure both interpreting and interpreted: interpreting the past, receiving, synthesizing, and developing the teachings of earlier writers, and, by this very process, presenting a persuasive theological and pastoral agenda which has inspired projects of interpretation and development in later periods up to and including our own.Review"The Gregory that emerges from these essays is one who, while not speculative or systematic in his thought, responded creatively to the changed circumstances of Christianity in the sixth century, formulating the gospel message in ways his contemporaries found compelling. The essays . . . are a helpful guide to this enigmatic theologian whose influence on western Christian spirituality was―and still is―profound." ―Pro EcclesiaAbout the AuthorJohn C. Cavadini is Chairman and Associate Professor of Theology at the University of Notre Dame and is editor of Miracles in Jewish and Christian Antiquity (Notre Dame Press, 2000).
