Minimal highlighting, o/w in Very good condition. An introduction for practicing engineers or students at the beginning graduate or advanced undergraduate level, emphasizing the application of fracture mechanics to preventing fracture and fatigue failures in structures, rather than the theoretical aspects of the field. The topics include stress analysis for members with cracks, resistance forces, fatigue crack initiation, and fitness for service. Among the case studies are bridges, oil tankers, and steel casings.

Writer and engineer David Bennett presents the remarkable story of the rise of underground travel over the past 160 years. He traces technological progress and explores the architecture of the most dramatic and inspiring stations ever built, including the Bauhaus-influenced lines of Berlin's U-Bahn, the grandeur of the Moscow Metro's "socialist" architecture, and the exuberance of the Hollywood Red Line in Los Angeles. Thought-provoking, informative, ... View More...

Elevated temperatures and extreme temperature gradients arise in a large va riety of engineering problems, and often produced thermal stresses and ther mal deformations that crucially affect the life of the materials and the sy stems involved. Early examples arose with the advent of high-speed rocket-p owered flight and the development of nuclear energy sources. More recent ap plications can be found in fields ranging from reentry heating and ablation... View More...

In the recent decades, computational procedures have been applied to an increasing extent in engineering and the physical sciences. Mostly, two separate fields have been considered, namely, the analysis of solids and structures and the analysis of fluid flows. These continuous advances in analyses are of much interest to physicists, mathematicians and in particular, engineers. Also, computational fluid and solid mechanics are no longer treated as enti...

This book presents a modern continuum mechanics and mathematical framework to study shell physical behaviors, and to formulate and evaluate finite ele ment procedures. With a view towards the synergy that results from physical and mathematical understanding, the book focuses on the fundamentals of sh ell theories, their mathematical bases and finite element discretizations. The complexity of the physical behaviors of shells is analysed, and the dif ficulties to obtain uniformly optimal finite element procedures are identif ied and studied. Some modern finite element methods are presented for l... View More...

This book introduces the key concepts of nonlinear finite element analysis procedures. The book explains the fundamental theories of the field and pro vides instructions on how to apply the concepts to solving practical engine ering problems. Instead of covering many nonlinear problems, the book focus es on three representative problems: nonlinear elasticity, elastoplasticity , and contact problems. The book is written independent of any particular s oftware, but tutorials and examples using four commercial programs are incl uded as appendices: ANSYS, NASTRAN, ABAQUS, and MATLAB. In particular... View More...
