Nonlinear Dynamics of Compliant Offshore Structures

By: Patrick Bar-Avi

This monograph provides a general background to the modelling of a special class of offshore structures known as compliant structures. External forcing is resisted by buoyancy and tension forces which increase when the structure is slightly offset from its equilibrium. The technical development given in this book is presented in such a way as to highlight the adaptability of the modelling, and the reader is shown how the techniques described can be applied to a variety of different offshore structures.

The Sad Demise of Manpreet Singh

By: Patrick Bryson

`An important debut. Brilliant, with an authentic ?desi? touch. A must read.? ? Surender Mohan Pathak `Flavourful as butter chicken, as unputdownable as a Patiala peg.? ? Samrat Choudhury, author of The Urban Jungle Book `This brilliantly crafted noir thriller gets everything right from the determined detective to the femme fatales. It keeps you entertained as you zig and zag through the plot, feel nervous excitement during the twists, fall in love with the characters, and laugh your butts off at the funnies.? ? Jugal Mody, author of Toke `A thriller set in the Visa Section? Against all the odds, it works. Absurd fun, but with an authentic taste of India too. A bit uncharitable about the cricket team though.? ? Simon `Bruce? Denyer, author of Rogue Elephant `An electrifying thriller debut? ? Mint Lounge Dominic `Biscuit? McLeod is an expert in making the best of a bad situation. As a visa fraud investigator at the Australian High Commission, New Delhi, Biscuit is legendary for his prowess in drinking beer, playing cricket, and swearing like a Dilliwallah, until the tragic death of a junior colleague forces him to become something else ? a conspiracy theorist who can?t let go. Armed only with a hangover, a loathing for authority, and an inability to believe the lies that he is being told, Biscuit stumbles from crisis to catastrophe in a shambolic search for the truth. From the villages of Punjab to the cricket fields of Delhi, and the walled compounds of Gurgaon and Chanakyapuri, with dodgy visa agents, crooked cops, Aussie journalists, Afghani pimps and American spies for company, it looks like Biscuit will never solve the case, or leave the party early. A bold, comic debut, The Sad Demise of Manpreet Singh is a novel about the things people will do to leave the places they don?t want to be ? and the lengths others will go to try and stop them.
