Evolutionary Topology Optimization of Continuum Structures: Methods and Applications (For FEM)
Evolutionary Topology Optimization of Continuum Structures treads new ground with a comprehensive study on the techniques and applications of evolutionary structural optimization (ESO) and its later version bi-directional ESO (BESO) methods. Since the ESO method was first introduced by Xie and Steven in 1992 and the publication of their well-known book Evolutionary Structural Optimization in 1997, there have been significant improvements in the techniques as well as important practical applications. The authors present these developments, illustrated by numerous interesting and detailed examples. They clearly demonstrate that the evolutionary structural optimization method is an effective approach capable of solving a wide range of topology optimization problems, including structures with geometrical and material nonlinearities, energy absorbing devices, periodical structures, bridges and buildings.
Presents latest developments and applications in this increasingly popular & maturing optimization approach for engineers and architects;
Authored by leading researchers in the field who have been working in the area of ESO and BESO developments since their conception;
Includes a number of test problems for students as well as a chapter of case studies that includes several recent practical projects in which the authors have been involved;
Accompanied by a website housing ESO/BESO computer programs at

vibrations of solids and structures under moving loads
# Author: Ladislav Fryba 1
# Paperbound ISBN: 978-0-7277-3539-3
# Ebook ISBN: 978-0-7277-3996-4
# Publication Date: May 1999
This book analyses the effects of moving loads on elastic and inelastic solids, elements and parts of structures and on elastic media, namely beams, continuous beams, beams on elastic foundations, rigid-plastic beams and thin-walled beams, frames, arches, strings, plates elastic spaces and half spaces etc. Vibrations in these structures are produced by various types of moving force (loads), such as vehicles with the inertial effects of their masses and by random loads which move with constant or variable speeds along the structure. This type of loading (varying in time and space) may be found in transport engineering structures which need to carry faster and heavier vehicles while the structures over which the vehicles move are becoming slenderer and lighter. The book provides theoretical formulations for the problem, and mathematical solutions for all cases and their application to civil, mechanical, transport, naval and aircraft structures. The extensive and up-to-date bibliography gives a worldwide survey of the problem. The monograph describes ways to prolong the life of existing/older structures and presents a theoretical guide to the economic design of new civil, mechanical and other engineering structures, such as bridges, rails, sleeper, roadways, airport runways, tunnels, foundations for all types of highways and railways, cranes and other transport structures. This book will be of great value to civil, mechanical and transport engineers, researchers, project engineers, designers, postgraduate and undergraduate students and all those interested in structural dynamics.

I create a very complex FEM model with triangular and square elements but when i got the results, noticed that RISA gives them only on local coordinates. Is it possible to get the results on Global Coordinates.
Thanks,
Sorry ... is it possible to get the results on Global Coordinates ???
Deep Excavations: A Practical Manual - 1st Edition
This book assembles the practical rules and details for the efficient and economical execution of deep excavations. It draws together a wealth of experience of both design and construction from published work and the lifetime practice of the author. This second edition is extensively revised to include changes in design emphasis including those due to Eurocode 7 and descriptions of the latest equipment, construction techniques and geotechnical processes. Additional details include those of the latest piling and diaphragm wall equipment and innovations in top-down construction applied to basements and cut-and-cover works. The section on caissons has been expanded to include design methods. The successful conceptual design of temporary and permanent works for the support of deep excavations requires both freshness of ideas and experience of similar construction. The purpose of this book is to present varied international examples in sufficient detail to allow this to succeed.

Principles of Hyperplasticity: An Approach to Plasticity Theory Based on Thermodynamic Principles
Principles of Hyperplasticity: An Approach to Plasticity Theory Based on Thermodynamic Principles
Publisher: Springer | Pages: 351 | 2006-12-28 | ISBN: 184628239X | PDF | 9 MB
The approach to plasticity theory developed here is firmly rooted in thermodynamics. Emphasis is placed on the use of potentials and the derivation of incremental response, necessary for numerical analysis. The derivation of constitutive models for irreversible behaviour entirely from two scalar potentials is shown. The use of potentials allows models to be very simply defined, classified and, if necessary, developed and it permits dependent and independent variables to be interchanged, making possible different forms of a model for different applications. The theory is extended to include treatment of rate-dependent materials and a powerful concept, in which a single plastic strain is replaced by a plastic strain function, allowing smooth transitions between elastic and plastic behaviour is introduced. This monograph will benefit academic researchers in mechanics, civil engineering and geomechanics and practising geotechnical engineers; it will also interest numerical analysts in engineering mechanics

Analysing Buildings from Context to Detail in Time. ABCD Research Method By H. Zijlstra
Analysing Buildings from Context to Detail in Time. ABCD Research Method By H. Zijlstra
Publisher: IOS Press 2009 | 228 Pages | ISBN: 1607500205 | PDF | 13 MB
Technology provided the author of this book with the inspiration to develop a more comprehensive research method to assess buildings: Analysing Buildings from Context to Detail in time: ABCD Research Method. Technology, at academic level, should be considered in the analysis of a building. In this book the focus is on construction engineering, the study of the requirements associated with constructing buildings. Providing information on practice is a key element in construction engineering, which is a learning process. Changes are made during the life of a building and they might be made differently if the history and technical aspects of the building were studied in greater detail. Both maintenance and changes require us to understand the building concerned. In essence, a building can be described in detail using the ABCD research method. Experience obtained with other buildings can lead to better considered solutions when designing and building new buildings or intervening in existing buildings. We can recognize layers where changes may have led to interventions in what existed at one time. The ABCD research method is an instrument to show us how changes happened and what the original concepts for the building were. We have to investigate the history of the design and construction of a building to distil this essence.

P.J.M. Bartos, J.J. Hughes, P. Trtik , W. Zhu , "Nanotechnology in Construction"
Royal Society of Chemistry; 1 edition (July 13, 2004) | ISBN:0854046232 | 374 pages | PDF | 19 Mb
The importance of nanotechnology related research and development has become recognised worldwide. Substantial public and private investment is now being ploughed into research and development in a number of industrial sectors, where nanotechnology has become established and has led to new commercial products. The construction industry, having major economic significance with nano-scale research and development which is only emerging, offers a wide scope for exploitation of nanotechnology.
With international contributions from experts in the field, Nanotechnology in Construction amalgamates previously fragmented research and emerging trends. It reflects the inherent multi-disciplinary nature of nano-scale research in construction and contributions cover a wide spectrum, from highly scientific investigations to futuristic applications. The books is organised into four broad sections, the first reviews and analyses the prospects of exploitation of nanotechnology in construction, the second discusses novel tools and their capabilities, the final two sections show existing significant products where nanotechnology has been already been exploited or where product development is under-way.
Nanotechnology in Construction will appeal to researchers already working in this field as well as those wishing to enter it. It will also inform governmental and other funding agencies of the most promising future directions and their related timescales. Practical applications are considered and explanations of the underlying basics are given, raising awareness and understanding of what nanotechnology can offer to construction professionals in general.
