I need your help please, I'm doing my thesis which develops membrane and plate elements, then form the shell element, but I have problems in developing the coordinate transformation matrix for the shell element, because I have no bibliography on this, please someone can give me some information on the transformation matrix with respect to their formulation and computer programming, i would appreciate a lot it if you could help me.

Product Description
Concrete expands and then contracts because of the increase in temperature during hydration of cement and subsequent fall in temperature. In continuous structures, if this movement is restrained, tensile stresses will develop which can cause cracks to form. Although it is accepted that there will be cracks in reinforced concrete structures, the degree and magnitude of cracking should be controlled. In the design of liquid retaining structures, it is essential to restrict the width of cracks in structures. The maximum design surface crack widths (w) in BS8007 for direct tension and flexure or restrained temperature and moisture effects are as follows: w = 0.2 mm for severe or very severe exposure; and, w = 0.1 mm for critical aesthetic appearance.The design calculations of both the serviceability limit state of cracking due to thermal and moisture effects and flexural can be tedious and time consuming. In the preliminary design stage, the design tables in this document will assist and 'short-cut' the design process and therefore save valuable time. "Design tables to BS8007" has been divided into two parts. Part 1 provides calculations of minimum reinforcement, crack spacing, and crack widths in relation to temperature and moisture effects. It summarises the design formulae and tables A1 to A6 provide calculated reinforcements required for control of thermal and shrinkage cracking. Part 2 provides calculations of crack widths in mature concrete under structural loading. It summarises the design formulae and tables B1 to B36 tabulate the service and ultimate flexural capacity of a range of slab thickness and reinforcement arrangements under differing conditions of crack width limitation, concrete strength and cover.

Damage from corrosion costs billions of dollars per year. Controlling corrosion requires a fundamental, in-depth understanding of the mechanisms and phenomena involved, and this understanding is best achieved through advanced analytical methods. The first book to treat both surface analytical and electrochemical techniques in a single reference, Analytical Methods in Corrosion Science and Engineering equips you with hands-on tools for solving corrosion problems and improving corrosion resistance.
The book begins with the major surface analytical techniques, their principles, instrumentation, and the exact nature of the information derived from their measurements. Individual chapters are devoted to electron spectroscopy, ion analytical methods, nanoprobes, synchrotron methods, infrared spectroscopy, and glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy followed by recent developments in the application of radiotracer methods, nanoscratching, and nanoindentation. Coverage then moves to electrochemical techniques, beginning with an introduction to electrochemical instrumentation that reveals the requirements for accurate and meaningful measurements as well as potential errors and how to avoid them. The authors provide a thorough background of each technique and illustrate its use for a variety of corrosion systems, in many cases using examples of practical industrial applications.
Contributed by a team of prominent experts from major universities and national research laboratories around the world, Analytical Methods in Corrosion Science and Engineering is the most comprehensive guide available for investigating surface corrosion.

The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 covers different types
of sports facilities, sports provision within buildings, the significance
of sports facilities in urban developments and the exciting
possibilities of sports-led urban regeneration. Part 2 covers sports
facilities planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance.
Part 3 is about the technologies that are making such
facilities increasingly desirable places to be. While Part 1 is
sports-specific, the content of Parts 2 and 3 is of wider application
and implication.
The book is written against a background of major and rapid
changes – in the UK alone during the period 2006–08 new building
regulations, wiring regulations and construction (design and
management) regulations were implemented. In addition to meeting
new requirements, sports facilities designers and managers
everywhere are taking advantage of emerging and developing
technologies to achieve comfort and delight for building users,
while at the same time working to achieve ever-more stringent
energy-efficiency targets.
This book is about sports facilities and their adaptation to the
needs and aspirations of modern societies. We have chosen to
use local examples from different parts of the world, to demonstrate
ways of addressing global issues, rather than incorporate
in our content sports facilities project case studies of a general
nature.

Oliver M. O'Reilly, "Engineering Dynamics: A Primer"
Springer | 2010-05-01 | ISBN: 1441963596 | 240 pages | PDF | 1,2 MB
This primer is intended to provide the theoretical background for the standard undergraduate, mechanical engineering course in dynamics. It grew out of the author's desire to provide an affordable compliment to the standard texts on the subject in which the gap between the theory presented and the problems to be solved is oftentimes too large. The book contains several worked examples and at the end of each chapters summaries and exercises to aid the student in their understanding of the chapter. Teachers who wish to have a source of more detailed theory for the course, as well as graduate students who need a refresher course on undergraduate dynamics when preparing for certain first year graduate school examinations, and students taking the course will find the work very helpful.
