To design a structure or component one must carefully consider the intimate relationship between how the component is supposed to perform and the properties of the material from which it is made. This can be a tricky balancing act, even with isotropic, homogeneous materials.
By their very nature, composite materials can present complex problems in the testing of their structural performance. Focusing on composites of advanced fibres in a plastic matrix, Mechanical Testing of Advanced Fibre Composites provides the background and general principles to tackle such problems. Expert contributors examine how these materials react to all types of loading, including tensile, compressive, shear, short- or long-term, and in various environments that might significantly modify their behavior. They explore sample preparation for testing, address tensile, flexural, compression, shear, impact, and out-of-plane testing, and discuss fatigue and fracture mechanics.
Bringing together a wide range of test methods applicable across the spectrum of composite materials, Mechanical Testing of Advanced Fibre Composites forms a practical handbook full of expert analysis. Materials scientists, engineers, and designers will all find it a valuable tool in understanding and using composites in creating structures that perform within their design requirements.

This book covers the basics of the engineering fluid mechanics without delving into deeper more mathematical concepts. Building from most basic concepts such as physical properties of fluids, the book covers the topics in fluid statics and dynamics. Hydrostatic pressure, buoyancy and forces on immersed bodies are discussed under fluid statics.
Under fluid dynamics, Bernoulliβs principle is introduced. Furthermore, the nature of fluid flows is discussed in engineering context. Laminar and turbulent flows in pipes are explained in detail.
Finally hydraulic design is discussed paying attention to pump capacity calculations.
This textbook is levelled at first year undergraduate students.
A good knowledge of Fluid mechanics is essential for Chemical, Mechanical and Civil engineers. As a result it is taught at a very early stage in degree courses on those disciplines.

That web site have section for proceedings but unfortunately no papers can be found.
Created in 1975, LMT-Cachan is a joint laboratory Ecole Normale Superieure de Cachan, Pierre & Marie Curie (Paris 6) University and the French Research Council CNRS (Department of Engineering Sciences). The Year 2000 marked the 25th anniversary of LMT. On this occasion, a series of lectures was organized in Cachan in September-October, 2000. This publication contains peer-reviewed proceedings of these lectures and is aimed to present engineers and scientists with an overview of the latest developments in the field of damage mechanics. The formulation of damage models and their identification procedures were discussed for a variety of materials.

An excel spreadsheet written to analyze and design concrete one cell box culverts.
I have written this spreadsheet for a project which contains design of some culverts. I have uploaded it to let all of you civileans comment on that in order to make it more complete.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ali Akbar

The seismic response of a single-story asymmetric structure supported on various base isolation systems during impact with adjacent structures is investigated. Eccentricities arising due to elastic forces in the columns at the top-deck and the restoring forces in the isolation systems at the base-raft are considered. The adjacent structures (i.e. retaining walls or entry bridges) surrounding the base-isolated structure on all four sides are modeled in the form of springs and dashpots. The coupled differential equations of motion for the isolated system are derived and solved in incremental form using Newmarkβs method to obtain the seismic response with and without impact. The variation of superstructure acceleration and isolation level displacement during impact upon the adjacent structures under the action of real earthquakes are computed to study the behavior of torsionally coupled structures and compare the performance of various isolation systems. The torsional impact response of isolated structures is studied under the variation of important system parameters such as the sizes of gaps, the stiffness of adjacent structures, superstructure flexibility and different eccentricities in the base-isolated structure. It is concluded that the lateral-torsional response of the base-isolated structure is adversely affected when impact takes place with the adjacent structures. The superstructure acceleration increases and the base-raft displacement decreases due to impact with the adjacent structures; nevertheless, the isolation remains effective as compared to the nonisolated case.

I have a suggestion to open a discussion on how to improve "Engineering Problems" section.
Going thru the section we can see that most of the time questions are asked without proper data and people who are trying to help end up asking Β for more info in order to help.
Considering the person who has a difficult situation in hand, I think we may try to come up some come kind of fill-in the blanks approach for them to post their questions and get answers faster
For example in Engineering books there are Β a lot of formats, Β we can gather a format for different types of questions.
I am just making up some format here just to get this topic started:
1- Question is about: Β Analysis, design, foundation, beam, concrete , wood, etc (Say: Analysis)
2- Given: Applied code, loading, sketch of the problem (a picture worth a lot of words)
3- Answer requested for: (Having difficulty with ......?)
I think doing something like this will encourage forum members to answer the questions., and forum activity increases.
The person who is asking the question gets better and faster answers.
Saves time for everybody
