La Bolivie est le pays d'Amérique latine qui a connu les périodes les plus longues d'instabilité politique et sociale depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Afin d'expliquer les raisons de cette instabilité, Jean-Pierre Lavaud analyse avec finesse la mobilisation des groupes sociaux qui, d'une manière plus ou moins directe et déterminante, influencent le jeu politique national et concourent aux changements gouvernementaux : la classe politique, tant civile que militaire, les gestionnaires du travail collectif, mais aussi les mineurs et les paysans. À cette concurrence nationale pour le pouvoir, il faut ajouter celle d'agences étrangères, principalement nord-américaines. Au terme de l'analyse, il apparaît que des secteurs importants de la société civile se trouvent être si dépendants de l'Etat qu'il est vital pour eux de les contrôler : les luttes croisées qui en résultent entretiennent l'instabilité... Au-delà du cas bolivien, c'est un remarquable modèle d'explication du phénomène d'instabilité politique de l'Amérique latine que nous propose ici Jean-Pierre Lavaud.

In this book, we study theoretical and practical aspects of computing methods for mathematical modelling of nonlinear systems. A number of computing techniques are considered, such as methods of operator approximation with any given accuracy; operator interpolation techniques including a non-Lagrange interpolation; methods of system representation subject to constraints associated with concepts of causality, memory and stationarity; methods of system representation with an accuracy that is the best within a given class of models; methods of covariance matrix estimation;methods for low-rank

La question de la bonne foi repose sur des problèmes fondamentaux et permanents de chaque ordre juridique. Il faut distinguer ses diverses composantes. La bonne foi subjective a trait à l’ignorance d’un fait excusée par le droit. La bonne foi objective constitue un principe général de droit. Il vise surtout la protection de la confiance légitime. Il peut viser aussi la protection de certaines finalités communes contre les détournements motivés par une place excessive faite aux seuls intérêts particuliers (par exemple la théorie de l’interdiction de l’abus du droit). Le principe de bonne foi est donc une notion solidariste. Elle tempère le volontarisme qui règne traditionnellement en droit international en y introduisant les considérations objectives de sécurité, de stabilité et de justice. Le volontarisme ne considère que la sphère du sujet qui agit : l’obligation n’est censée naître que de sa volonté. La bonne foi vise à rééquilibrer ce rapport qui préside à la création, à la mise en œuvre, à la modification et à la terminaison de la règle. Elle commande de tenir compte des attentes légitimes et des finalités objectives d’un rapport considéré dans sa bilatéralité. C’est à travers tout le droit international, des sources au règlement des différends, que l’auteur conduit l’enquête pour montrer les incidences pratiques et les perspectives ouvertes par ce principe. Il fait preuve d’une maîtrise exceptionnelle de la littérature de théorie et de l’histoire du droit, ainsi que du droit international positif, dans les langues les plus diverses. En plus de la doctrine, la pratique internationale est analysée de manière fouillée et exhaustive. C’est bien une vision générale du droit international tout entier qui nous est offerte à travers l’un de ses principes fondamentaux.

This collection of papers, written by friends and colleagues of Josef Singer, presents a comprehensive and timely review of the theoretical mechanics of thin shell-structures. Topics of great current interest such as the buckling of composite plates and shells, the plastic buckling of thin-walled structures and the optimum design of buckling sensitive curved composite panels are examined by experts, using a great diversity of approaches, whereby theoretical predictions are compared with experimental results whenever possible.Other topics reviewed include the buckling and post-buckling behaviou

The study of flight dynamics requires a thorough understanding of the theory of the stability and control of aircraft, an appreciation of flight control systems and a comprehensive grounding in the theory of automatic control. Flight Dynamics provides all three in an accessible and student focussed text. Written for those coming to the subject for the first time the book is suitable as a complete first course text. It provides a secure foundation from which to move on to more advanced topics such a non-linear flight dynamics, simulation and advanced flight control, and is ideal for tho

"Covers theory and background of localbuckling, presenting simple design calculations which address this intriguing phenomenon. Attempts to master the process of buckling are described, citing both successes and failures. A number of failure case studies are presented as well.The final section of the book presents easy-to-follow design examples which conform to the latest Eurocode. Intended tointroducesenior students in Bridge and Structural Engineering to the phenomenon of buckling, with special focus on thin-walled plated bridge girders. Suitable as a course instruction guide for itshighly visual and descriptive style. Moreovere a good reference on buckling for practising and consulting engineers."--Provided by publisher.

The subject of coupled instabilities is a fascinating field of research with a wide range of practical applications, particularly in the analysis and design of metal structures. Despite the excellent body of existing results concerning coupled instability structural behaviour, this situation has not yet been adequately translated into design rules or specifications. In fact, only to a small extent do modern design codes for metal structures take advantage of the significant progress made in the field.This book, which contains all the invited general reports and selected papers presented at the

This book is the consequence of research undertaken by the authors in the field of advanced problems of structural mechanics. Stability analysis of structures comes under this area because of the complex models and computational methods needed for analysis. In the mid seventies, a joint effort began between a group of researchers and teachers of the Department of Civil Engineering and Computer Center of the Cracow University of Technology. One of the important results of the collaboration has been this publication.
