Advances In Applied Mechanics

The major developments in the fields of fluid and solid mechanics are scattered throughout an array of technical journals, often making it difficult to find what the real advances are, especially for a researcher new to the field or an individual interested in discovering the state-of-the-art in connection with applications. The Advances in Applied Mechanics book series draws together recent significant advances in various topics in applied mechanics. Published since 1948, Advances in Applied Mechanics aims to provide authoritative review articles on topics in the mechanical sciences, primarily of interest to scientists and engineers working in the various branches of mechanics, but also of interest to the many who use the results of investigations in mechanics in various application areas such as aerospace, chemical, civil, environmental, mechanical and nuclear engineering. Advances in Applied Mechanics continues to be a publication of high visibility and impact. Review articles are provided by active, leading scientists in the field by invitation of the editors. Many of the articles published have become classics within their fields. Volume 41 in the series contains articles on topological fluid mechanics, electrospinning, vortex dynamics and self-assembly. Covers all fields of the mechanical sciences Highlights classical and modern areas of mechanics that are ready for review Provides comprehensive coverage of the field in question

Advances in Applied Mechanics

Modern computer simulations make stress analysis easy. As they continue to replace classical mathematical methods of analysis, these software programs require users to have a solid understanding of the fundamental principles on which they are based.Develop Intuitive Ability to Identify and Avoid Physically Meaningless PredictionsApplied Mechanics o

This book includes the outcomes of the 59th Symposium “Modelowanie w Mechanice” (Engineering Modelling in Mechanics) held in Ustroń from 22 February to 26 February 2020. The International Conference has an over 58-year-old history and is organized by the Department of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of Silesian University of Technology under the patronage of the Polish Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, Gliwice Branch. Subjects of the conference are modelling of mechatronic systems, machinery dynamics, control systems, sensitivity analysis and optimization, numerical modelling and experimental methods in mechanics, biomechanics, heat flow analysis, fluid mechanics, etc. The papers are dealing with interdisciplinary problems in which mechanical phenomena are of decisive importance. The potential reader of this book will find their set of papers concentrated on the use of computer-aided design, virtual modelling, numerical simulations, fast prototyping and experimental tests of mechanical systems. It is an area of versatile and interdisciplinary research trends with one of the mainstreams focusing on applied mechanics.

Applied Mechanics and Civil Engineering VI includes the contributions to the 6th International Conference on Applied Mechanics and Civil Engineering (AMCE 2016, Hong kong, China, 30-31 December 2016), and showcases the challenging developments in the areas of applied mechanics, civil engineering and associated engineering practice. The book covers a wide variety of topics: - Applied mechanics and its applications in civil engineering; - Bridge engineering; - Underground engineering; - Structural safety and reliability; - Reinforced concrete (RC) structures; - Rock mechanics and rock engineering; - Geotechnical in-situ testing & monitoring; - New construction materials and applications; - Computational mechanics; - Natural hazards and risk, and - Water and hydraulic engineering. Applied Mechanics and Civil Engineering VI will appeal to professionals and academics involved in the above mentioned areas, and it is expected that the book will stimulate new ideas, methods and applications in ongoing civil engineering advances.

Mechanics of Composite Materials: Recent Advances covers the proceedings of the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (IUTAM) Symposium on Mechanics of Composite Materials. The book reviews papers that emphasize fundamental mechanics, developments, and unresolved problems of the field. The text covers topics such as mechanical properties of composite materials; influence of microstructure on the thermoplastics and transport properties of particulate and short-fiber composites; and further applications of the systematic theory of materials with disordered constitution. The selection also explains the curved thermal crack growth in the interface of a unidirectional carbon-aluminum composite and energy release rates of various microcracks in short-fiber composites. The book will be of great interest to researchers and professionals whose line of work requires the understanding of the mechanics of composite materials.
