Author: Yalchin Efendiev, Thomas Y. Hou | Size: 4.5 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Springer | Year: February 5, 2009 | pages: 246 | ISBN: 0387094954, ISBN-13: 978-0387094953
This expository book surveys the main concepts and recent advances in multiscale finite element methods. This monograph is intended for the broader audiences including engineers, applied scientists and those who are interested in multiscale simulations. The book is self-contained, starts from the basic concepts and proceeds to the latest developments in the field. Each chapter of the book starts with a simple introduction and the description of the proposed methods as well as with motivating examples. Numerical examples demonstrating the significance of the proposed methods are presented in each chapter. The book addresses mathematical and numerical issues in multiscale finite element methods and connects them to real-world applications. Narrative introduction provides a key to the book's organization and its scope. To make the presentation accessible to a broader audience, the analyses of the methods are given in the last chapter. Yalchin Efendiev is a Professor at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas and Thomas Hou is the Charles Lee Powell Professor at California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California.

This book examines the experimental and theoretical aspects of bifurcation analysis as applied to geomechanics. Coverage includes basic continuum mechanics for dry and fluid unfiltrated porous media, bifurcation and stability analyses applied to layered geological media and granular materials, and theories for generalized continua as applied to materials with microstructure and in relation to strain localization phenomena.

High-Precision Methods in Eigenvalue Problems and Their Applications
(Differential and Integral Equations and Their Applications)
Author: Leonid D. Akulenko, Sergei V. Nesterov | Size: 2.12 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Chapman and Hall/CRC | Year: October 15, 2004 | pages: 235 | ISBN: 041530993X, ISBN-13: 978-0415309936
This book presents a survey of analytical, asymptotic, numerical, and combined methods of solving eigenvalue problems. It considers the new method of accelerated convergence for solving problems of the Sturm-Liouville type as well as boundary-value problems with boundary conditions of the first, second, and third kind. The authors also present high-precision asymptotic methods for determining eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of higher oscillation modes and consider numerous eigenvalue problems that appear in oscillation theory, acoustics, elasticity, hydrodynamics, geophysics, quantum mechanics, structural mechanics, electrodynamics, and microelectronics.

Proceedings of the international symposium on slope stability engineering
- IS- Shikoku’99 / Matsuyama / Shikoku / Japan / 8- 11 November 1999.
Edited by
Norio Yagi - Ehime Universio, Japan
Takuo Yamagami & Jing-Cai Jiang - University of Tokushima, Japan
Volume 1
It is of a great concern to civil, geotechnical, and environmental engineers to overcome different problems caused by natural disasters, human errors and geo-environmental problems, whch are
related directly or indirectly to the soil and rock properties. Although significant progress in the field of geotechmcal engineering has been made in past few decades, there are still a number of problems that arise in geotechnical analyses, designs, and specifications to prevent the possible damages due to unexpected disasters like landslides, debris flows, earthquakes, etc. So, figuring out these problems and tackling them very professionally are the main challenges at present-day world of geotechnical engineering.
With this objective, the International Symposium on Slope Stability Engineering: Geotechnical and Geo-environmental Aspects - IS-Shikoku’99 was held at Matsuyama, Ehime from November 8 to 1 I , 1999. The symposium was sponsored by the Japanese Geotechnical Society on its 50th anniversary under the auspices of the technical committee on landslides (TC-11) of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) and the Japan Landslide Society. The aim of the symposium was to bring different professionals from different disciplines and backgrounds together into a place to broaden the knowledge and understand the problems all over the world from various perspectives.
This symposium covers a broad range of topics such as site investigation, seismic effect, soil strength parameters, damage assessment, remediation techniques, land development, waste disposal, landslide hazard, simulation, analysis, etc on slope stability engineering. The main themes of the symposium are as follows:
1. Site investigation;
2. Stability analysis of soil and rock slopes;
3. Effects of seismicity and rainfall;
4. Design strength parameters of natural slopes;
5. Effect of land development;
6. Slope stability of waste materials;
7. Stability of landfills;
8. Stabilization and remedial works;
9. Reinforced steep slopes;
10. Probabilistic slope stability;
11. Landslide inventory and landslide hazard zonation;
12. Simulation and analysis of debris flow.

Modelling and predicting how porous media deform when subjected to external actions and physical phenomena, including the effect of saturating fluids, are of importance to the understanding of geophysics and civil engineering (including soil and rock mechanics and petroleum engineering), as well as in newer areas such as biomechanics and agricultural engineering.
Starting from the highly successful First Edition, Coussy has completely re-written Mechanics of Porous Continua/Poromechanics to include:
New material for:
Partially saturated porous media
Reactive porous media
Macroscopic electrical effects
A single theoretical framework to the subject to explain the interdisciplinary nature of the subject
Exercises at the end of each chapter to aid understanding
The unified approach taken by this text makes it a valuable addition to the bookshelf of every PhD student and researcher in civil engineering, petroleum engineering, geophysics, biomechanics and material science.
From the Back Cover
Modelling and predicting the mechanical behaviour of fluid-infiltrated porous media is vital to geophysics, petroleum and civil engineering, as well as to newer disciplines such as biomechanics and agricultural engineering. This book, based on the successful Mechanics of Porous Continua, has been revised and updated to strengthen the basics of this emerging field of 'Poromechanics'. Serving as a self-contained guide, Poromechanics provides a unified approach to the fundamental concepts of continuum poromechanics and to the coupling of the deformation of porous continua with various physical processes.
This book:
Describes deformation and stress and the thermodynamics of fluid-infiltrated porous continua.
Details the standard problems of saturated poroelasticity.
Analyses unsaturated poroelastic media, the effects of capillary pressure and of the surface energy between components.
Discusses non-line ar and inelastic behaviours.
Deals with penetration fronts and surfaces of discontinuity.
Addresses the mechanical behaviour of chemically active porous materials.
Gives some insights on microporomechanics.
Offers advanced analyses at the end of each chapter.
Poromechanics will appeal to postgraduates students and researchers in disciplines as varied as biomechanics, geophysics, soil and rock mechanics, agricultural engineering and materials science in a broad sense. This book is also a valuable resource for advanced courses on poromechanics.

Synthesis Report from Task Group 2.2 and Individual Contributions
The Task Group has been active since February 1992 and published in 1993 Bulletin 218, a first collection of individual contributions. Now the final synthesis report in part 1 of this Bulletin summarises research results and strives to give a harmonised view on the topic. It suggests proposals that by and large endorse the CEB-FIP Model Code 1990. Further research needs are identified. The individual contributions in part 2 of this Bulletin report on research performed since 1993 within the framework of the Task Group. Although extensively discussed within the group, the papers express the individual views of their authors, all of them being members of the Task Group.
