Modeling of Creep for Structural Analysis
Springer 2007; US$ 189.99"Creep Modeling for Structural Analysis" develops methods to simulate and analyze the time-dependent changes of stress and strain states in engineering structures up to the critical stage of creep rupture. The principal subjects of creep mechanics are the formulation of constitutive equations for creep in structural materials under multi-axial stress... more...
Cellular and Porous Materials in Structures and Processes
Springer 2011; US$ 169.99This book covers the state-of-the-art treatment in modelling and experimental investigation of the mechanical behaviour of cellular and porous materials. Starting from the continuum mechanical modelling, to the numerical simulation, several important questions related to applications such as the fracture and impact behaviour are covered. more...
Shell-like Structures
Springer 2011; US$ 139.99In this volume, scientists and researchers from industry discuss the new trends in simulation and computing shell-like structures. The focus is put on the following problems: new theories (based on two-dimensional field equations but describing non-classical effects), new constitutive equations (for materials like sandwiches, foams, etc. and which... more...
Advanced Materials Modeling for Structures
Springer 2013; US$ 139.99This volume presents the major outcome of the IUTAM symposium on Advanced Materials Modeling for Structures. It discusses advances in high temperature materials research, and also to provides a discussion the new horizon of this fundamental field of applied mechanics. The topics cover a large domain of research but place a particular... more...

Complex material behavior sometimes cannot... more...
Surface Effects in Solid Mechanics
Springer 2013; US$ 99.99This book summarizes the actual state of the art and future trends of surface effects in solid mechanics. Surface effects are more and more important in the precise description of the behavior of advanced materials. One of the reasons for this is the well-known from the experiments fact that the mechanical properties are significantly influenced if... more...
