UCL Explore, the library catalogue, is the principal tool to find books, journals and other materials (either in print or in electronic format) held in UCL libraries.
E-books can be accessed through Explore on any device, from anywhere and at any time.
On UCL Explore, you can look at the results of your search to quickly discover if a book is available in print or/and online: View Online means that the book is available electronically, while Available means that the book is available in print. In some cases a book is available both in print and online.
Collections of e-books can be browsed or searched. All full-text services are also searchable in Explore and can be found in the A-Z of Databases list.
Series covering new developments in computer science and information technology research and teaching. Accessibility statement for SpringerLink.
Engineering books are located on the 4th floor of the Science Library (the DMS Watson building).
Where held in print, UCL Explore will provide the location details of the materials you are looking for including library site, collection and shelfmark.
You can use our Click and Collect service to reserve books from any library and have them delivered to your library of choice for collection. Alternatively, if you need a chapter or section of a book, use our Scan and Send service to receive extracts via email
If a book location is listed as Stores, the item is kept in storage off-campus and you will need to place a request for the item.

This book provides a state-of-the-art perspective on biomaterials research in India and globally. It presents a sketch of the Indian landscape against the backdrop of the international developments in biomaterials research.
Intelligent Biomedical Technologies and Applications for Healthcare 5.0, covers artificial health intelligence, biomedical image analysis, 5G, the Internet of Medical Things, intelligent healthcare systems, and extended health intelligence (EHI).
This book includes fundamental information related to IoDT architecture design and features; reviews the state of the art in hardware and software platforms to deploy, connect, and control drones or swarms of drones; and covers the latest developments in innovative drone-facilitated applications and services that can significantly improve efficiency, productivity, and sustainability of various operations in modern society and a growing number of its industries.
In a world grappling with resource depletion and environmental degradation, this work empowers readers to foster sustainable urban environments, while promoting a deeper understanding of the intricate relationship between new technologies and cutting-edge economic theory.
A long-standing, best-selling, comprehensive textbook covering all the mathematics required on upper level engineering mathematics undergraduate courses. Its unique approach takes you through all the mathematics you need in a step-by-step fashion with a wealth of examples and exercises.
From the 1870s to the mid-twentieth century, European explorers, climatologists, colonial officials, and planners were avidly interested in large-scale projects that might actively alter the climate. Uncovering this history, Desert Edens looks at how arid environments and an increasing anxiety about climate in the colonial world shaped this upsurge in ideas about climate engineering.
For a variety of historical reasons, transport and land use are quite divorced in practice. This text aims to bridge the chasm, helping engineers understand the elements of access that are associated not only with traffic, but also with human behaviour and activity location, and helping planners understand the technology underlying transport engineering, the processes, equations, and logic that make up the transport half of the accessibility measure.
Float! Building on Water to Combat Urban Congestion and Climate Change proposes a new way of building: on water instead of on land. Although the concept may seem revolutionary, it is an obvious solution to overcrowded metropolises. Most world cities are situated on the water and have too little space where it's most needed: in the city center. Building on water allows inner-city areas to expand.
This book serves as a guide, leading readers towards a world where waste ceases to be a burden, but a wellspring of possibilities. Whether the goal is to enhance expertise, ignite creativity, or develop a thorough grasp of waste's transformative possibilities, this book serves to achieve a more sustainable and prosperous future. It provides an invaluable treasure of knowledge for readers, researchers, working professionals, and academics alike, and offers a comprehensive roadmap to address the waste crisis with sustainable solutions.
A comprehensive introduction to hybrid control systems and design. In Hybrid Feedback Control, Ricardo Sanfelice presents a self-contained introduction to hybrid control systems and develops new tools for their analysis and design. Hybrid behaviour can occur in one or more subsystems of a feedback system, and Sanfelice offers a unified control theory framework, filling an important gap in the control theory literature.
Materials Selection in Mechanical Design describes the procedures for material selection in mechanical design to ensure that the most suitable materials for a given application are identified from the full range of materials and section shapes available. Recognized as the world’s leading materials selection textbook, users will find a unique and innovative resource for students, engineers, and product/industrial designers.
A concise introduction to the fundamental concepts of mathematics that are closely related to civil engineering.
