Thin-Walled Structural Members Under Web Crippling Loadings: Finite Element Analysis, Design, and Integrated Testing addresses a critical and specialized area in structural engineering focused on the behavior, analysis, and design of thin-walled steel members subjected to web crippling loadings. This reference integrates experimental testing, advanced numerical modeling, and international design codes to improve understanding and practical design of cold-formed steel structures worldwide. The book offers in-depth coverage of experimental testing procedures and finite element analysis, including practical guidance on software tools, model verification, and validation best practices. It includes design examples that demonstrate real-world applications across multiple international codes. The book also presents integrated comparisons of experimental, numerical, and design results, discusses failure modes, and incorporates reliability analyses and parametric studies. This book serves as a

The Oxford Handbook of Russian Poetry brings together forty original chapters by scholars, critics, and poets from across North America, Russia, and Europe, offering a wide-ranging account of the Russian poetic tradition from the early modern period to the present. Responding to evolving critical priorities and the expanded sense of Russian poetic practice in recent decades, the Handbook aims not to settle the canon but rather to model a range of approaches to poetic history. Chapters are attentive to rupture, reinvention, and literature's changing social and institutional conditions. In particular, the volume engages with an increasingly complex understanding of Russian twentieth-century literature-one that treats, separately and together, censored, uncensored, and 幦igr?writing, and that engages with multilingualism and rapidly shifting cultural boundaries. Collectively, the contributions consider texts both well-known and newly recovered, metropolitan and diasporic, official and unde

One of three surviving collections of Latin bucolic poetry, the seven Eclogues transmitted under the name of Calpurnius Siculus are generally assigned to the reign of Nero, although the debate on dating continues, with proposals ranging between the later first and third centuries CE. Calpurnius follows Vergil's Eclogues as his main model, but reaches back to Theocritus for additional pastoral features, and the poems show the influences of later works of Vergil, Ovid, and other elegists. Two factors have made Calpurnius a "marginal" poet: the collection's lack of historical context and the status of bucolic poetry as a minor, discontinuous genre. This literary study embraces these factors as an opportunity for a de-historicized reading of Calpurnius by interpreting the poems closely and within the context of the bucolic tradition but without reference to any kind of contemporary context. In doing so, Yelena Baraz explores questions about the working of tradition in Latin poetry, but als
