Creep and fatigue are the most prevalent causes of rupture in superalloys, which are important materials for industrial usage, e.g. in engines and turbine blades in aerospace or in energy producing industries. As temperature increases, atom mobility becomes appreciable, affecting a number of metal and alloy properties. It is thus vital to find new characterization methods that allow an understanding of the fundamental physics of creep in these materials as well as in pure metals.
Here, the author shows how new in situ X-ray investigations and transmission electron microscope studies lead to novel explanations of high-temperature deformation and creep in pure metals, solid solutions and superalloys. This unique approach is the first to find unequivocal and quantitative expressions for the macroscopic deformation rate by means of three groups of parameters: substructural characteristics, physical material constants and external conditions.
Creep strength of the studied up-to-date single crystal superalloys is greatly increased over conventional polycrystalline superalloys.

It's a good idea open possibility to post interesting and curious links about structures (in general). I'm not referring a existing "Famous Projects" forum.
If yes, where is the best place?
The idea is put links like:

The book offers a careful introduction to modern non-linear mechanics. The used mathematical tools, such as tensor algebra and analysis are given in detail. The general theory of mechanical behaviour is particularized for the broad and important classes of elasticity and plasticity. It is intended to bring the reader close to the fields of today's research activities. A list of notations and an index help the reader to find specific topics. The book is based on three decades of teaching experience in this field.

Buildings are designed per building code regulations, aptly termed Prescriptive Based Design. It is a methodology based upon meeting all of the specific requirements of the code.
In prescriptive based design, the normal engineering analysis practice is to assume linear-elastic behavior for structural members, which fails to reliably account for redistribution of forces due to member nonlinear behavior and dissipation of energy due to material yielding. Because of this, considerable damage has been observed and life safety goals was not achieved from major earthquakes in recent decades in residential and commercial buildings. Safety is understood as the structures ability to deform in the inelastic range but no collapsed is allowed.
During high seismic excitation, the building generally responds well beyond its elastic and linear capacity. There are two inelastic nonlinear options available for assessing the performance of a structure subjected to earthquake load; namely Pushover Analysis and Inelastic Nonlinear Time History Analysis. These two methods of analyses are used in Performance Based Design. It is a methodology using advanced engineering tools and methods to provide solutions to complex life safety problems in order to achieved life safety goals.
The purpose of this presentation is to explain the procedure in performing Inelastic Nonlinear Analysis using the professional software XTRACT v3.0.8 and PERFORM-3D v4.0.3, to evaluate the performance of multi-storey buildings (designed by traditional linear static and linear dynamic load procedures) when subjected to earthquake ground motion.
NOTES/COMMENTS:
1. To run the presentation, double click the filename "Performance.pps".
2. The hyphotetical RC moment resisting frame building investigated in the presentation was also investigated by performing Pushover and Inelastic Nonlinear Time History analysis in MIDAS Gen 7.0.2., and the results of the building performance are the same. The advantage of using MIDAS Gen is that, no need to use XTRACT to calculate inelastic strength and plastic rotation capacity, and to compute manually the center of mass of the floor, translational mass, and rotational mass of moment of inertia.

Landslides: Risk Analysis and Sustainable Disaster Management
By Kyoji Sassa
Publisher: Springer
Number Of Pages: 386
Publication Date: 2005-11-28
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 3540286640
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9783540286646
Based on contributions to the first General Assembly of the International Consortium on Landslides, this reference and status report emphasizes the mechanisms of different types of landslides, landslide risk analysis, and sustainable disaster management. It comprises the achievements of the ICL over the past three years, since the Kyoto assembly. It consists of three parts: research results of the International Programme on Landslides (IPL); contributions on landslide risk analysis; and articles on sustainable disaster management. In addition, the history of the ICL activities (under the support of UNESCO, WMO, FAO, UN/ISDR, and UNU) is recounted to create a comprehensive overview of international activity on landslides. The contributions reflect a wide range of topics and concerns, randing from field studies, identification of objects of cultural heritage at landslide risk, as well as landslide countermeasures.

Boundary Stabilization of Thin Plates (Studies in Applied and Numerical Mathematics)
Author: John E. Lagnese (Author) | Size: 0 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Society for Industrial Mathematics | Year: January 1, 1987 | pages: 184 | ISBN: 0898712378, 9780898712377
Presents one of the main directions of research in the area of design and analysis of feedback stabilizers for distributed parameter systems in structural dynamics. Important progress has been made in this area, driven, to a large extent, by problems in modern structural engineering that require active feedback control mechanisms to stabilize structures which may possess only very weak natural damping. Much of the progress is due to the development of new methods to analyze the stabilizing effects of specific feedback mechanisms.
Boundary Stabilization of Thin Plates provides a comprehensive and unified treatment of asymptotic stability of a thin plate when appropriate stabilizing feedback mechanisms acting through forces and moments are introduced along a part of the edge of the plate. In particular, primary emphasis is placed on the derivation of explicit estimates of the asymptotic decay rate of the energy of the plate that are uniform with respect to the initial energy of the plate, that is, on uniform stabilization results.
The method that is systematically employed throughout this book is the use of multipliers as the basis for the derivation of a priori asymptotic estimates on plate energy. It is only in recent years that the power of the multiplier method in the context of boundary stabilization of hyperbolic partial differential equations came to be realized. One of the more surprising applications of the method appears in Chapter 5, where it is used to derive asymptotic decay rates for the energy of the nonlinear von Karman plate, even though the technique is ostensibly a linear one.
