Hutchinson J.W., Wu T.Y. Advances in Applied Mechanics

Springer, 2006. - 375 p. Today, Fracture Mechanics is a well known topic within the scientific community. Applications of Fracture Mechanics can be found in various fields ranging from solid mechanics and structures to materials sciences and computational mechanics. However, most of these results apply only to linear fracture mechanics of two-dimensional and homogeneous isotropic solids. Therefore there are still incompletely solved problems; s...

2nd edition, Springer Science+Business Media, 2007, 221 pages This book deals with the mechanics of solid bodies in contact, a subject intimately connected with such topics as fracture, hardness, and elasticity. Coverage begins with an introduction to the mechanical properties of materials, general fracture mechanics, and the fracture of brittle solids. It then provides a detailed description of indentation stress fields for both elastic and el...

1979, 101 P. The notes contained within were prepared in conjunction with a set of lectures delivered during the fall of 1978 at The Solid Mechanics Department of the Technical University of Denmark under the auspices of the Danish Center for Applied Mathematics and Mechanics. Starting more or less from scratch in the subject, but assuming at least a limited knowledge of plasticity. I have tried to bring the reader right up to some of the topics...

Cambridge University Press, 2003. - 480 p. The increased use of composites in aerospace, land, and marine applications has resulted in a growing demand for engineers versed in the design of structures made of fiber-reinforced composite materials. To satisfy this demand, and to introduce engineers to the subject of composites, numerous excellent texts have been published dealing with the mechanics of composites. These texts deal with those fndame...

ASM International, 2005, ISBN: 0871708027, 458 pages This text is for readers who want an introductory overview on the mechanical and material factors of fracture in design analysis, material evaluation, and failure prevention. Both fundamental and practical concepts of fracture are described in terms of stress analysis and the mechanical behavior of materials. The metallurgical aspects of deformation and fracture in metals are also discussed....

Springer, 2011. 363 p. ISBN-10:3642153712 This book describes significant tractable models used in solid mechanics - classical models used in modern mechanics as well as new ones. The models are selected to illustrate the main ideas which allow scientists to describe complicated effects in a simple manner and to clarify basic notations of solid mechanics. A model is considered to be tractable if it is based on clear physical assumptions which a...

Elsevier, 2001. - 412 p. This book is concerned with the topical problems of mechanics of advanced composite materials whose mechanical properties are controlled by high-strength and high-stiffness continuous fibers embedded in polymeric, metal, or ceramic matrix. Although the idea of combining two or more components to produce materials with controlled properties has been known and used from time immemorial, modern composites have been develop...

Springer, 2005. - 336 Pages. This textbook makes use of the popular computer program MATLAB as the major computer tool to study mechanics of composite materials. It is written specifically for students in engineering and materials science, examining step-by-step solutions of composite material mechanics problems using MATLAB. Each of the 12 chapters is well structured and includes a summary of the basic equations, MATLAB functions used in the ch...

Монография. Boca Raton: CHAPMAN & HALL, 2004. – 685 с. Tremendous advances in computer technologies and methods have precipitated a great demand for refinements in the constitutive models of plasticity. Such refinements include the development of a model that would account for material anisotropy and produces results that compare well with experimental data. Key to developing such models-and to meeting many other challenges in the field- is a...
