Product Description
This book provides a comprehensive description of the major methodologies of nonlinear finite element analysis for solid mechanics, as applied to continua and structures. Treatment of the subject is integrated in such a way that the reader can gain an understanding of the fundamental methods, a feeling for the comparative usefulness of different approaches and an appreciation of the difficulties inherent in nonlinear analysis. In-depth coverage of the following is given:
* Lagrangian and arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian treatments of continua
* many of the material laws used in todays software and research
* solution methods, including explicit and implicit time integration methods and methods for equilibrium problems
* basic concepts such as stability and smoothness, and techniques such as linearization and regularization
* methods for shells and structures
* contact-impact problems
* element technology, including multi-field elements
Ideal for self-study, no other book provides such a comprehensive description of nonlinear finite element analysis for solid mechanics. This is an invaluable reference not only for final year undergraduates, postgraduates, academics and engineers working on sophisticated finite element software and in the field of solid mechanics, but also for all users of nonlinear finite element programs.

Post-earthquake rehabilitation and reconstruction
by Franklin Y. Cheng, Y. Y. Wang
Pergamon, 1996
University of Michigan
ISBN 0080428258, 9780080428253
Damage assessment, rehabilitation, decision-making, social consequences, repair and reconstruction; these are all critical factors for considerations following natural disasters such as earthquakes. In order to address these issues, the United States of America and the Peoples Republic of China regularly organize bilateral symposia/workshops to investigate multiple hazard mitigation, particularly with respect to earthquake engineering. This book contains state-of-the-art reports presented by world-renowned researchers at the US/PRC Sympsosium Workshop on Post-Earthquake Rehabilitation and Reconstruction held in Kunming, Yunnan, China, May 1995. The following key areas are addressed: damage assessment of structures after earthquakes; lessons of post-earthquake recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction, including public policy, land use options, urban planning, and design; issues in and examples of decision-making, and implementation of rehabilitation and reconstruction plans and policies; repair, strengthening, retrofit and control of structures and lifeline systems, post-earthquake socio-economic problems covering issues of relief and recovery; human and organizational behavior during emergency response, and strategies for improvement; real-time monitoring of earthquake response and damage.

Finite Element Methods with B-Splines (Frontiers in Applied Mathematics) (No. 26)
By Klaus Höllig
* Publisher: Society for Industrial Mathematics
* Number Of Pages: 125
* Publication Date: 2003-01-22
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0898715334
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780898715330
* Binding: Hardcover
Product Description:
The finite element method (FEM) has become the most widely accepted general-purpose technique for numerical simulations in engineering and applied mathematics. Principal applications arise in continuum mechanics, fluid flow, thermodynamics, and field theory. In these areas, computational methods are essential and benefit strongly from the enormous advances in computer technology. B-splines play an important role in approximation and geometric modeling. They are used in data fitting, computer-aided design (CAD), automated manufacturing (CAM), and computer graphics. Finite Element Methods with B-Splines describes new weighted approximation techniques, combining the computational advantages of B-splines and standard finite elements. In particular, no grid generation is necessary, which eliminates a difficult and often time-consuming preprocessing step. The meshless methods are very efficient and yield highly accurate solutions with relatively few parameters. This is illustrated for typical boundary value problems in fluid flow, heat conduction, and elasticity.

A must have for every vibration analyst or engineer. I own the set of books (Vibration Analysis, Bearing Analysis and Gear Analysis Handbooks) that Mr. James Taylor has written on the subject of vibration. The Vibration Analysis Handbook particularly is a vital book that every vibration analyst or engineer must use to accurately diagnose vibration problems in rotating machinery. This book is the result of Mr. Taylor's 30 year hands on experience as a vibration analyst. I have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Taylor on several occasions. I attended all three of his week long seminars and let me tell you Mr. Taylor is the most knowledgeable vibration person I have ever met. This book is made up of 6 chapters and it is very well organized. To make a long story short, buy this book with confidence, it is worth every penny.
This is a superb reference handbook for serious engineers and vibration analysts. This book consists of 12 chapters in which there are numerous case studies with photos.
Each procedure or theory is discussed in a non-mathematical way. This book should be of interest to those involved in diagnosing gear problems, teaching gear diagnosis, or writing vibration specifications for gears. This book is based on the authors 30 years experience in the filed of vibration.

Edit reason: Post redesigned using CivilEA Post Generator. Cover image and info added. Added links from ebook-archive posted by the same member. Dead link deleted. (G)
Product Description:
This book sets out the basic principles of composite construction with reference to beams, slabs, columns and frames, and their applications to building structures. It deals with the problems likely to arise in the design of composite members in buildings, and relates basic theory to the design approach of Eurocodes 2, 3 and 4.
The new edition is based for the first time on the finalised Eurocode for steel/concrete composite structures.

Excavations and foundations in soft soils
by Hans-Georg Kempfert, Berhane Gebreselassie
Springer-Verlag, 2006
University of Michigan
ISBN 3540328947, 9783540328940
The book reviews the experiences with, as well as recent developments and research results on excavations and foundations in and on soft soil deposits. Geotechnical design and execution of civil engineering structures on very soft soils are usually associated with substantial difficulties. The aim of the authors is to give the readers an overview of the state of the art of material properties of soft soils and their application in excavations, different types of foundations and stabilization methods. The authors emphasize, however, that an underground with soft soil layer should not a priori be classified as extremely difficult and highly cost intensive. By making use of advance knowledge in soft soil engineering so far as available in the field of geotechnical engineering, it is possible to attain a technically safe and economically justifiable solution for a particular construction project. The book is expected to contribute much in this regard. The book is intended to serve practising as well as research engineers in the field of geotechnical engineering, moreover civil and structural engineers and advanced students may also find it a useful reference work
