Publisher: Spr inge r; 2nd edition 2005 | 369 Pages | ISBN: 1402028636 | DJVU | 2 MB New developments in the applications of fracture mechanics to engineering problems have taken place in the last years. Composite materials have extensively been used in engineering problems. Quasi-brittle materials including concrete, cement pastes, rock, soil, etc. all benefit from these developments. Layered materials and especially thin film/substrate systems are becoming important in small volume... 

Publisher: Ellis Horwood Ltd , Publisher 1988 | 324 Pages | ISBN: 0745805396 , 0470212241 | DJVU | 3 MB The early books on stability of structures by S.P. Timoshenko, and F. Bleich treat a variety of problems normally encountered in engineering. However, the discussion in these excellent texts is limited to classical techniques and to metallic materials. In view of the rapid advance- advancement in computer technology and the development of new techniques for solving engineering problems, the classical... 

Publisher: Sp,ring.er 2004 | 808 Pages | ISBN: 1402018282 | PDF | 5 MB Through his voluminous and influential writings, editorial activities, organizational leadership, intellectual acumen, and strong sense of history, Clifford A. Truesdell (1919-2000) was the main architect for the renaissance of rational continuum mechanics since the middle of the 20th century. This collection of 42 essays and research papers pays tribute to this man of mathematics, science, and natural... 

Publisher: Spr,ing.er; 2nd edition 2005 | 353 Pages | ISBN: 3540232044 | DJVU | 2 MB Provides a short survey of recent advances in the mathematical modelling of the mechanical behavior of anisotropic solids under creep conditions, including principles, methods, and applications of tensor functions. Some examples for practical use are discussed, as well as experiments by the author to test the validity of the modelling. The monograph offers an overview of other experimental investigations... 

W.rld Sci.ntific Publishing C.mpany | 2007 | ISBN: 9812706208 | 340 pages | PDF | 10 MB One of the most important discoveries of this century cold fusion was summarily rejected by science and the media before sufficient evidence had been accumulated to make a rational judgment possible. Enough evidence is now available to show that this rejection was wrong and that the discovery of a new source of clean energy may help solve some serious problems currently facing mankind. The book catalogues...
