Bøger i Solid Mechanics and Its Applications serien

This self-contained book presents problems in classical elasticity, tailored for the geotechnician. Each begins with an examination of prevailing symmetries, and moves from a search for balanced stress fields to the associated strain and displacement fields.

This book offers a step-by-step tutorial for the application of the Boundary Integral Equation Method in mechanics. Two major parts of the book are devoted to the solution of problems in homogeneous and inhomogeneous solids.

The book shows how the formidable developments that blossomed in the twentieth century (and perused in a previous book of the author in the same Springer Series: "Continuum Mechanics through the Twentieth Century", Springer 2013) found rich compost in the constructive foundational achievements of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Held in Fairbanks, Alaska, USA, 13-16 June 2000

by the author to the English edition The book aims to present a powerful new tool of computational mechanics, complex variable boundary integral equations (CV-BIE). The first chapter of the book contains a simple exposition of the theory of real variable potentials, including the hypersingular potential and the hypersingular equations.

Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium held in Bangalore, India, 12-14 December 2000

This book is written by leading experts with both profound knowledge and rich practical experience in advanced mechanics and the microelectronics industry essential for current and future development. It aims to provide the cutting edge knowledge and solutions for various mechanical related problems, in a systematic way.

Contains the proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium on Elastohydrodynamics and Micro-elastohydrodynamics held in Cardiff from 1-3 September 2004. This volume offers 31 articles. The emphasis in the Symposium was upon fundamental issues such as: solution methods; lubricant rheological models, thermal effects; fluid traction; and dynamic effects.

The main body of work in this area is concerned with the control of time-dependent displacements and stresses, and assumes linear elastic conditions, namely linear elastic material behavior and small defor- tion.

Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium held in Bangalore, India, 12-14 December 2000

Synthesizing the contents of three classic textbooks by the authors, this book offers a comprehensive approach to theory and practice, problems, solutions and exercises which thoroughly explore the mathematical principles of Elasticity and Thermal Stress.

This book describes an effective method for modeling advanced materials like polymers, composite materials and biomaterials, which are, as a rule, inhomogeneous.

The German Research Council (DFG) decided 1987 to establish a nationwide five year research project devoted to dynamics of multibody systems.

Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium held in Cairo, Egypt, 9-12 March 1997

The well documented increase in the use of high performance composites as structural materials in aerospace components is continuously raising the demands in terms of dynamic performance, structural integrity, reliable life monitoring systems and adaptive actuating abilities.

1 Preliminary Concepts A cam mechanism is a mechanical system consisting of three basic components: a driving element, called the cam;

The Boundary Element Method is a simple, efficient and cost effective computational technique which provides numerical solutions - for objects of any shap- for a wide range of scientific and engineering problems.

This book presents important concepts in metal fatigue in a straightforward manner, for the benefit of readers who must understand more advanced documents on a wide range of metal fatigue topics.

This text is designed for teaching structural analysis of aerospace structures. It can be used for third and fourth year students in aerospace engineering as well as first and second year graduate students in aerospace and mechanical engineering.

This monograph presents theoretical methods, computational results and experimental demonstrations of this concept applied to discrete and continuous coupled nonlinear oscillators. It demonstrates the wide applicability of targeted nonlinear energy transfer.

Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium held in Monticello, IL, USA, 26-30 August 2002

Research into and development of high-precision systems, microelectromechanical systems, distributed sensors/actuators, smart structural systems, high-precision controls, etc.

Three mechanical engineering problems are presented: (i) a vibro-impact system in the form of a moling device, (ii) the influence of the opening and closing of a fatigue crack on the host system dynamics, and (iii) nonlinear interactions between a rotor and snubber ring system.

Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium held in Beijing, China, 2-5 September 1997

This book collects peer-reviewed lectures of the IUTAM Symposium on the 100th anniversary of Boundary Layer research. Covers classification, definition and mathematics of boundary layers; instability of boundary layers and transition; boundary layers control; turbulent boundary layers; numerical treatment and boundary layer modelling;

In this context, one can think of applications related to the control of structures' vib- tion isolation, control of vehicle dynamics, noise control, control of machines and mechanisms and control of ?uid-structure-interaction.

This book examines the mechanisms and underlying mechanics of failure in materials including metals, ceramics, polymers, composites and bio-materials. Covers fracture, fatigue, buckling, bio-material failure in prosthetic heart valves and hip joints and more.
