Nonlinear Mechanics for Composite Heterogeneous Structures 1

Nonlinear Mechanics for Composite Heterogeneous Structures

Description Nonlinear Mechanics for Composite Heterogeneous Structures applies both classical and multi-scale finite element analysis to thenon-linear, failure response of composite structures. These traditional and modern computational approaches are holistically presented, providing insight into a range of non-linear structural analysis problems. The classical methods include geometric and material non-linearity, plasticity, damage and contact mechanics. The cutting-edge […]

Cladding of Buildings 10

Cladding of Buildings

Description The term ‘cladding’ refers to components that are attached to the primary structure of a building to form non-structural, external surfaces. This is as opposed to buildings in which the external surfaces are formed by structural elements, such as masonry walls, or applied surfaces such as render. Building Safety Fund for the remediation of

DESIGN OF BRIDGES 11

DESIGN OF BRIDGES

Description The bridge design phase is probably the most fascinating and most difficult task for an experienced engineer if the design is original design and not industrial/repetitive work. It is unnecessary to provide the definition of the bridge design process, list the various steps required, and detail the bureaucratic procedures involved in this context. Instead,
