This book develops basic meshing algorithms to deal with problems with specific requirements such as adaptive and anisotropic meshing and mesh optimization. It explains the fundamentals of popular techniques, describing and illustrating each approach with examples. Beyond the algorithms, the book al..

ANSYS is extensively used in the design cycle by industry leaders in the U.S. and around the world and is available in computer labs in most universities. This volume focuses on the use of ANSYS in solving practical engineering problems, providing students and practicing engineers with the fundament..

This third edition covers design concerns and philosophies, touches on regulatory control, the behavior of natural fires through to the properties of various engineering materials at elevated temperatures. Focusing on the fire sections of the Eurocodes, the book provides detailed design advice, toge..

Flexural-Torsional Buckling of Structures..

These proceedings deal with a variety of topics relating to flow-induced vibration and noise, such as, vortex-induced vibration and noise, vibration of heat-exchanger tube bundles and vibration of hydraulic structures...

Forensic Engineering Investigation is a compendium of the investigative methods used to evaluate 21 of the more common types of failures and catastrophic events. The book offers an extensive discussion of the scientific method as it applies to forensic science and provides tips on organizing and wri..

Most books on forensic engineering focus on civil engineering failures rather than consumer or general mechanical products. Unique both in scope and style, this treatment is built upon case studies of real accidents, broadly focused on consumer products, and dedicated to problem solving through scie..

This book presents the analysis and design of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bridge decks, which have been increasingly implemented in rehabilitation projects and new construction due to their reduced weight, lower maintenance costs, and enhanced durability. It compiles the necessary information, ba..

This book is a practical reference to the global structural analysis of buildings for professional civil and structural engineers in construction firms, consultancies and building research organisations...
