This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the fundamental aspects of structural geology with the emphasis on both classical concepts and modern developments. There is a detailed account of the techniques of geometrical analysis and a sound background to the principles of geological deformation and in-depth analysis of mechanisms of formation of geological structures. Many new features are included such as detailed discussions on rotation of rigid inclusions and passive markers, boudinage (including chocolate tablet boudins, foliation boudins and shear fracture boudins), structural implications of basement-cover relations and time-relation between crystallisation and deformation. The book presents the methods of structural analysis from microscopic to map scale, describes modern techniques used in field and laboratory and presents a balanced picture of modern structural geology as it emerges from combined field, experimental and theoretical studies.

Presents a comprehensive and  up-to-date account of the fundamental aspects of structural geology, emphasising both classical concepts and modern developments. A detailed account of the techniques of geometrical analysis is provided, giving a sound background to principles of geological deformation and in-depth analysis of mechanisms of formation of geological structures. Many new features are included such as detailed discussions on rotation of rigid inclusions and passive markers, boudinage (including chocolate tablet boudins, foliation boudins and shear fracture boudins), structural implications of basement-cover relations and time-relation between crystallation and deformation. The book presents the methods of structural analysis from microscopic to map scale, describes modern techniques used in field and laboratory and offers a balanced picture of modern structural geology as it emerges from combined field, experimental and theoretical studies.

In order to develop more efficient types of gears, further investigations into the theories of engagement is necessary. Up until now most of the research work on the theories of engagement has been carried out separately on different groups, and based on individual types of profiles. This book aims at developing some universal theories, which can not only be used for all types of gears, but can also be utilized in other fields such as sculptured surfaces. The book has four characteristics: the investigations are concentrated on mismatched tooth surfaces; all the problems are dealt with from a differential geometry point of view; most theories and algorithms are universal in application; and the algorithms are easy to follow and can be used in real situations. In the process of developing the algorithms, the authors have introduced some mathematical methods which are believed to be innovative with regard to the theories of engagement known so far. A theoretical treatment is presented throughout the book, supported by numerical examples and experiments. With the computer programmes listed at the end of the volume, any of the proposed methods can be easily utilized in practice. The book is intended for postgraduate students, lecturers, professors, or research staff in mechanical/manufacturing engineering, mathematics and R&D departments of research institutes and universities. It should also be useful for engineers working in the gear manufacturing sector of industry.

DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING is rapidly gaining applications in various fields of earth resource management, preparation of cadastral maps, biomedical application and other diverse fields of material science, robotics etc. This book deals primarily with analysis of digital images acquired by satellite. The first four chapters of the book deals with concepts of image formation, its characteristics, file formats and the possible softwares for analysis of digital data or images. The next six chapters are devoted to outlining the various processes and techniques as required to undertake the analysis of digital satellite data in generally. The book has been written with the sole aim to provide a simple understanding to the various concepts of image processing to beginners in this area.
