Nonlinear Vibration with Control – David Wagg & Simon Neild

Identifying, modelling and controlling nonlinear vibrations is becoming increasingly important in a range of engineering applications. This is particularly true in the design of structures such as aircraft, satellites, bridges, and sports stadia. Here, the trend is towards lighter structures, with increased slenderness, often made of new composite materials and requiring some form of deployment [...]

Ultracold Quantum Fields – Henk Stoof, Dennis Dickerscheid & Koos Gubbels

Ultracold Quantum Fields provides a self-contained introduction to quantum field theory for many-particle systems, using functional methods throughout. The emphasis is on the behaviour of so-called quantum fluids, namely quantum gases and liquids, where trapped
atomic gases are always used as an example to compare the outcome of theory with experiments. After a detailed derivation of [...]
