Book Computational Geomechanics

Download or read book Computational Geomechanics written by Andrew H. C. Chan and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-04-04 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: COMPUTATIONAL GEOMECHANICS The new edition of the first book to cover the computational dynamic aspects of geomechanics, now including more practical applications and up-to-date coverage of current research in the field Advances in computational geomechanics have dramatically improved understanding of the behavior of soils and the ability of engineers to design increasingly sophisticated constructions in the ground. When Professor Olek Zienkiewicz began the application of numerical approaches to solid dynamics at Swansea University, it became evident that realistic prediction of the behavior of soil masses could only be achieved if the total stress approaches were abandoned. Computational Geomechanics introduces the theory and application of Zienkiewicz’s computational approaches that remain the basis for work in the area of saturated and unsaturated soil to this day. Written by past students and colleagues of Professor Zienkiewicz, this extended Second Edition provides formulations for a broader range of problems, including failure load under static loading, saturated and unsaturated consolidation, hydraulic fracturing, and liquefaction of soil under earthquake loading. The internationally-recognized team of authors incorporates current computer technologies and new developments in the field, particularly in the area of partial saturation, as they guide readers on how to properly apply the formulation in their work. This one-of-a-kind volume: Explains the Biot-Zienkiewicz formulation for saturated and unsaturated soil Covers multiple applications to static and dynamic problems for saturated and unsaturated soil in areas such as earthquake engineering and fracturing of soils and rocks Features a completely new chapter on fast catastrophic landslides using depth integrated equations and smoothed particle hydrodynamics with applications Presents the theory of porous media in the saturated and unsaturated states to establish the foundation of the problem of soil mechanics Provides a quantitative description of soil behavior including simple plasticity models, generalized plasticity, and critical state soil mechanics Includes numerous questions, problems, hands-on experiments, applications to other situations, and example code for GeHoMadrid Computational Geomechanics: Theory and Applications, Second Edition is an ideal textbook for specialist and general geotechnical postgraduate courses, and a must-have reference for researchers in geomechanics and geotechnical engineering, for software developers and users of geotechnical finite element software, and for geotechnical analysts and engineers making use of the numerical results obtained from the Biot-Zienkiewicz formulation.

Book Dynamics of Structures

Download or read book Dynamics of Structures written by J.H. Argyris and published by North Holland. This book was released on 1991-05-22 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume covers the computational dynamics of linear and non-linear engineering systems subject to conservative as well as non-conservative loads. Available in both paperback and hardback, the volume proposes an as simple as possible numerical evaluation of dynamic phenomena.[p]Practically all known methods of linear spectral analysis like the Householder, Givens, Wiland, Lanczos, Jacobi, Guyan, Eberlein, etc., are clearly detailed with a critical appraisal of their advantages and disadvantages. A great number of flow diagrams and examples are given in order to facilitate the understanding and practical application. A technically experienced reader will no doubt appreciate the interpretative difficulties of a subject like random or stochastic vibration expounded in a special chapter. Non-model damping is also detailed and the highly topical direct integration methods of the equations of dynamic equilibrium receive a very broad description.[p]Finally non-linear oscillations are analysed mostly from the computational point of view. Here the Newmark and the Hermitean algorithms receive very detailed accounts and a critical appraisal. At the same time the subject of non-linear oscillations is introduced through a semi-analytical discussion of the Duffing equation in which the various attractor systems in phase space including strange attractors for chaotic manifestation are described.[p]This volume is the first to appear in this series of self-contained textbooks designed to present a modern, comprehensive account of computational mechanics, which will appeal to both student and experienced practitioner alike.

Book Mathematical Problems in Plasticity

Download or read book Mathematical Problems in Plasticity written by Roger Temam and published by Courier Dover Publications. This book was released on 2018-12-18 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of the problem of the equilibrium of a perfectly plastic body under specific conditions employs tools and methods that can be applied to other areas, including the mechanics of fracture and certain optimal control problems. The three-part approach begins with an exploration of variational problems in plasticity theory, covering function spaces, concepts and results of convex analysis, formulation and duality of variational problems, limit analysis, and relaxation of the boundary condition. The second part examines the solution of variational problems in the finite-energy spaces; its topics include relaxation of the strain problem, duality between the generalized stresses and strains, and the existence of solutions to the generalized strain problem. The third and final part addresses asymptotic problems and problems in the theory of plates. The text includes a substantial bibliography and a new Preface and appendix by the author.

Book Constitutive Equations for Engineering Materials

Download or read book Constitutive Equations for Engineering Materials written by Wai-Fah Chen and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 595 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constitutive Equations for Engineering Materials, Volume 1: Elasticity and Modeling, Revised Edition focuses on theories on elasticity and plasticity of engineering materials. The book first discusses vectors and tensors. Coordinate systems, vector algebra, scalar products, vector products, transformation of coordinates, indicial notation and summation convention, and triple products are then discussed. The text also ponders on analysis of stress and strain and presents numerical analysis. The book then discusses elastic stress-strain relations. Basic assumptions; need for elastic models; isotropic linear stress-strain relations; principle of virtual work; strain energy and complementary energy density in elastic solids; and incremental relations grounded on secant moduli are described. The text also explains linear elasticity and failure criteria for concrete and non-linear elasticity and hypoelastic models for concrete. The selection further tackles soil elasticity and failure criteria. Mechanical behavior of soils; failure criteria of soils; and incremental stress-strain models based on modification of the isotropic linear elastic formulation are considered. The text is a good source of data for readers interested in studying the elasticity and plasticity of engineering materials.

Book Manifolds  Tensor Analysis  and Applications

Download or read book Manifolds Tensor Analysis and Applications written by Ralph Abraham and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to provide core material in nonlinear analysis for mathematicians, physicists, engineers, and mathematical biologists. The main goal is to provide a working knowledge of manifolds, dynamical systems, tensors, and differential forms. Some applications to Hamiltonian mechanics, fluid me chanics, electromagnetism, plasma dynamics and control thcory arc given in Chapter 8, using both invariant and index notation. The current edition of the book does not deal with Riemannian geometry in much detail, and it does not treat Lie groups, principal bundles, or Morse theory. Some of this is planned for a subsequent edition. Meanwhile, the authors will make available to interested readers supplementary chapters on Lie Groups and Differential Topology and invite comments on the book's contents and development. Throughout the text supplementary topics are given, marked with the symbols ~ and {l:;J. This device enables the reader to skip various topics without disturbing the main flow of the text. Some of these provide additional background material intended for completeness, to minimize the necessity of consulting too many outside references. We treat finite and infinite-dimensional manifolds simultaneously. This is partly for efficiency of exposition. Without advanced applications, using manifolds of mappings, the study of infinite-dimensional manifolds can be hard to motivate.

Download or read book Plasticity written by Ronaldo I. Borja and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-14 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been many excellent books written on the subject of plastic deformation in solids, but rarely can one find a textbook on this subject. “Plasticity Modeling & Computation” is a textbook written specifically for students who want to learn the theoretical, mathematical, and computational aspects of inelastic deformation in solids. It adopts a simple narrative style that is not mathematically overbearing, and has been written to emulate a professor giving a lecture on this subject inside a classroom. Each section is written to provide a balance between the relevant equations and the explanations behind them. Where relevant, sections end with one or more exercises designed to reinforce the understanding of the “lecture.” Color figures enhance the presentation and make the book very pleasant to read. For professors planning to use this textbook for their classes, the contents are sufficient for Parts A and B that can be taught in sequence over a period of two semesters or quarters.

Book Introduction to Continuum Mechanics

Download or read book Introduction to Continuum Mechanics written by David Rubin and published by Newnes. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Continuum mechanics studies the response of materials to different loading conditions. The concept of tensors is introduced through the idea of linear transformation in a self-contained chapter, and the interrelation of direct notation, indicial notation and matrix operations is clearly presented. A wide range of idealized materials are considered through simple static and dynamic problems, and the book contains an abundance of illustrative examples and problems, many with solutions. Through the addition of more advanced material (solution of classical elasticity problems, constitutive equations for viscoelastic fluids, and finite deformation theory), this popular introduction to modern continuum mechanics has been fully revised to serve a dual purpose: for introductory courses in undergraduate engineering curricula, and for beginning graduate courses.
