Engineering: Mechanics of solids

Fatigue Testing and Analysis: Theory and Practice presents the latest, proven techniques for fatigue data acquisition, data analysis, and test planning and practice.

Dynamic fracture in solids has attracted much attention for over a century from engineers as well as physicists due both to its technological interest and to inherent scientific curiosity.

This volume aims to present the latest advancements in experimental, analytical, and numerical methodologies aimed at exploring the nonlinear dynamics of diverse systems across varying length and time scales.

Dr Theodore Nicholas ran the High Cycle Fatigue Program for the US Air Force between 1995 and 2003 at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and is one of the world's leading authorities on the subject, having authored over 250 papers in leading archival journals and books.

This book describes the modelling and optimisation of vibration reduction systems in an integrated fashion using nonlinear equations of motion.

This book offers a new calculation procedure of the structural behavior of grouped layout of silos, easy to use and with satisfactory responses.

There are numerous engineering applications for high-speed rotating structures which rotate about their symmetric axes.

This is the key text and reference for engineers, researchers and senior students dealing with the analysis and modelling of structures - from large civil engineering projects such as dams, to aircraft structures, through to small engineered components.

Covering theory and practical industry usage of the finite element method, this highly-illustrated step-by-step approach thoroughly introduces methods using ANSYS.

This book presents experimental techniques in the field of aerodynamics, a discipline that is essential in numerous areas, such as the design of aerial and ground vehicles and engines, the production of energy, and understanding the wind resistance of buildings.

This volume presents the proceedings of the Asia-Pacific Vibration Conference (APVC) 2019, "e;Vibration Engineering for a Sustainable Future,"e; emphasizing work devoted to numerical simulation and modelling.

This book discusses how to identify the level of adhesion in layered systems made of cement composites using a multi-scale approach based on experimental and numerical analyses.

Granular forms of common materials such as metals and ceramics, sands and soils, porous energetic materials (explosives, reactive mixtures), and foams exhibit interesting behaviors due to their heterogeneity and critical length scale, typically commensurate with the grain or pore size.
