“The major developments in the field of fluid and solid mechanics are scattered throughout an array of scientific journals, making it often difficult to find what the real advances are, especially for a researcher new to the field. The Advances in Applied Mechanics book series draws together the 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 investigation in mechanics and various application areas.
Advances in Applied Mechanics continues to be a publication of high impact. Review articles are provided by leading scientists in the field on an invitation only basis. Many of the articles published have become classics within their fields. Volume 39 in the Mechanics series contains articles on vortex dynamics, the numerical simulation of two-phase flows, environmental problems in China, and piezoelectrics. ”

Rigid Isolated Rectangular Footing Active Area Maximum Pressure on Soil
This excel file written by myself contains macro (visual basic script) that allows the user to compute maximum pressure and active area (due to detachment) for rectangular rigid isolated footings under compression and biaxial bending.
Calculation assumptions:
- Footing is infinite rigid, no bending
Functions available:
=FootPressMax(Length,Width,N,Mx,My,pX,pY) returns maximum pressure on soil
=FootAActive(Length,Width,N,Mx,My,pX,pY) returns active area
=FootPressure(Length,Width,N,Mx,My,pX,pY) returns matrix with pressures, matrix size is px*py
Length is measured in X direction; Width is measured in Y direction
N - axial force (compression always positive)
Mx - bending moment around x axis
My - bending moment around y axis
pX,pY - number of meshing points 25*25 is most of the time enough

SMOOTHED PARTICLE HYDRODYNAMICS
A Meshfree Particle Method
by G R Liu (National University of Singapore) & M B Liu (National University of Singapore)
This is the first-ever book on smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and its variations, covering the theoretical background, numerical techniques, code implementation issues, and many novel and interesting applications.
It contains many appealing and practical examples, including free surface flows, high explosive detonation and explosion, underwater explosion and water mitigation of explosive shocks, high velocity impact and penetration, and multiple scale simulations coupled with the molecular dynamics method. An SPH source code is provided, making this a friendly book for readers and SPH users.
Contents:
* SPH Concept and Essential Formulation
* Constructing Smoothing Functions
* SPH for General Dynamic Fluid Flows
* Discontinuous SPH (DSPH)
* SPH for Simulating Explosions
* SPH for Underwater Explosion Shock Simulation
* SPH for Hydrodynamics with Material Strength
* Coupling SPH with Molecular Dynamics for Multiple Scale Simulations
* Computer Implementation of SPH and a 3D SPH Code

NORSOK (The competitive standing of the Norwegian offshore sector) is the industry initiative to add value, reduce cost and lead-time and eliminate unnecessary activities in offshore field developments and operations.
The NORSOK standards are developed by the Norwegian petroleum industry as a part of the NORSOK initiative and supported by OLF (The Norwegian Oil Industry Association) and TBL (Federation of Norwegian Engineering Industries). NORSOK standards are administered and issued by NTS (Norwegian Technology Standards Institution).
The purpose of NORSOK standards is to contribute to meet the NORSOK goals, e.g. by replacing individual oil company specifications and other industry guidelines and documents for use in existing and future petroleum industry developments.
The NORSOK standards make extensive references to international standards. Where relevant, the contents of a NORSOK standard will be used to provide input to the international standardisation process.
INTRODUCTION
This NORSOK standard provides guidelines and requirements for how to design and document offshore steel structures. The standard is intended to fulfil NPD Regulations relating to loadbearing structures in the petroleum activities /1/. The design principles follow the requirements in ISO 13819-1.
The standard gives provisions for offshore structures and references Norwegian standard NS 3472 and NS-ENV 1993 1-1 Eurocode 3. Either code may be used for design of parts where relevant.

This Guidance Note relates principally to the design and construction of deck-type and halfthrough skew bridge decks. Deck-type bridges, which comprise steel girders supporting a composite concrete slab at the top flange, are most frequently used for highways, whilst half-through decks are commonly used for railway bridges. For the purposes of this Note, a skew bridge is one where the longitudinal axis of the bridge deck is not square to the lines of its supporting piers and/or abutments. In the Note, the skew angle is taken as the angle between a line square to the supports and the longitudinal axis of the bridge. Thus the greater the skew angle, the higher (or more severe) the skew. Curved skew bridges are not covered.
