Recommendations for Fatigue Design of Welded Joints and Components

This book provides a basis for the design and analysis of welded components that are subjected to fluctuating forces, to avoid failure by fatigue. It is also a valuable resource for those on boards or commissions who are establishing fatigue design codes. For maximum benefit, readers should already have a working knowledge of the basics of fatigue and fracture mechanics. The purpose of designin…

The volume deals with the modeling of fracture and damage in smart materials, current industrial applications of fracture mechanics, and it explores advance…

The Issues and Discussion of Modern Concrete Science

Taking a number of engineering cases as examples, we experimentally studied and theoretically analyzed the errors, inadaptability, and mistakes when the current theory on concrete is applied to explaining practical construction of concrete. Moreover, we investigated the use of mixing ratios, aggregates, cement, high-performance concrete and fibers, as well as the frost resistance, cracking beha…

The ISRM Suggested Methods for Rock Characterization, Testing and Monitoring:…

This book is a collection of ISRM suggested methods for testing or measuring properties of rocks and rock masses both in the laboratory and in situ, as well as for monitoring the performance of rock engineering structures. The first collection (Yellow Book) has been published in 1981. In order to provide access to all the Suggested Methods in one volume, the ISRM Blue Book was published in 2007…

Microstructuring of Thermo-Mechanically Highly Stressed Surfaces

The fuel consumption of a modern combustion engine is one of the most important purchase criteria in contemporary society. Increasing oil prices and exhaust emissions taxes force the automotive industry to continuously improve the vehicle engines. The fuel consumption is closely related to the frictional losses of an engine. New material pairings or constructive modifications of the piston grou…

Fatigue Crack Growth Detect - Assess - Avoid

This book offers a concise introduction to fatigue crack growth, based on practical examples. It discusses the essential concepts of fracture mechanics, fatigue crack growth under constant and variable amplitude loading and the determination of the fracture-mechanical material parameters. The book also introduces the analytical and numerical simulation of fatigue crack growth as well as crack i…

Variational Principles in Classical Mechanics

The goal of this book is to introduce the reader to the intellectual beauty, and philosophical implications, of the fact that nature obeys variational principles that underlie the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian analytical formulations of classical mechanics. These variational methods, which were developed for classical mechanics during the 18 th − 19 th century, have become the preeminent form…
