This book was released on 1989 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discussion centers on the formulation of a constitutive model for brittle solids satisfying two conflicting requirements: simplicity and accuracy. Owing to the inherent complexity of the problem, stemming from the random distribution of interacting defects, analytical expressions relating macro-fields are possible only under some restrictive conditions emphasizing modest levels of defect concentrations.
Download or read book Dynamic Mechanical Behaviors and Constitutive Model of Roller Compacted Concrete written by Sherong Zhang and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-01 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book systematically illustrates the dynamic mechanical behaviors and discusses the fundamentals of the constitutive modeling of roller-compacted concrete (RCC), influenced by the construction technique and mix design. Four typical problems are analyzed using laboratory tests, numerical simulation and theoretical analysis, i.e., to illustrate the special dynamic mechanical behaviors of RCC, to reveal the dynamic size-dependence of mechanical properties, to discuss the aggregate size effect on dynamic mechanical properties, and to modify the dynamic constitutive model for RCC. Generally, the constitutive modeling of RCC needs a comprehensive understanding of dynamic size-dependence and aggregate size effect of concrete that coupled with the strain-rate sensitivity. So that, readers can master the modified dynamic constitutive model of RCC to analyze and solve the problems in blast-resistance analysis and protective design of RCC dams. This book can be used as a postgraduate textbook for civil and hydraulic engineering in colleges and universities, and as an elective course for senior undergraduates. It can also be used as a reference for relevant professional scientific researchers and engineers in field of protective design of concrete structures.

Download or read book Computational Mesomechanics of Composites written by Leon L. Mishnaevsky, Jr and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2007-08-20 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mechanical properties of composite materials can be improved by tailoring their microstructures. Optimal microstructures of composites, which ensure desired properties of composite materials, can be determined in computational experiments. The subject of this book is the computational analysis of interrelations between mechanical properties (e.g., strength, damage resistance stiffness) and microstructures of composites. The methods of mesomechanics of composites are reviewed, and applied to the modelling of the mechanical behaviour of different groups of composites. Individual chapters are devoted to the computational analysis of the microstructure- mechanical properties relationships of particle reinforced composites, functionally graded and particle clusters reinforced composites, interpenetrating phase and unidirectional fiber reinforced composites, and machining tools materials.

This book was released on 2001-12-28 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stability and Time-Optimal Control of Hereditary Systems is the mathematical foundation and theory required for studying in depth the stability and optimal control of systems whose history is taken into account. In this edition, the economic application is enlarged, and explored in some depth. The application holds out the hope that full employment and high income growth will be compatible with low prices and low inflation, provided that the control matrix has full rank, i.e., the existing controls are fully effectively used. The book concludes with a new appendix containing complete programs, data, graphs and quantitative results for the US economy.

Download or read book Evolution Equations And Approximations written by Kazufumi Ito and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2002-05-24 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an approximation theory for a general class of nonlinear evolution equations in Banach spaces and the semigroup theory, including the linear (Hille-Yosida), nonlinear (Crandall-Liggett) and time-dependent (Crandall-Pazy) theorems.The implicit finite difference method of Euler is shown to generate a sequence convergent to the unique integral solution of evolution equations of the maximal monotone type. Moreover, the Chernoff theory provides a sufficient condition for consistent and stable time integration of time-dependent nonlinear equations. The Trotter-Kato theorem and the Lie-Trotter type product formula give a mathematical framework for the convergence analysis of numerical approximations of solutions to a general class of partial differential equations. This book contains examples demonstrating the applicability of the generation as well as the approximation theory.In addition, the Kobayashi-Oharu approach of locally quasi-dissipative operators is discussed for homogeneous as well as nonhomogeneous equations. Applications to the delay differential equations, Navier-Stokes equation and scalar conservation equation are given.

Download or read book SOLID MECHANICS FOR MATERIALS ENGINEERS Principles and Applications of Mesomechanics written by Yunan Prawoto and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book follows a model of modern pedagogy. It is interdisciplinary and uses specific examples to teach general principles. This text is organized into three main sections. The first section reviews aspects of solid mechanics, with topics normally covered in standard materials courses but also dealing with purer mechanics concepts of relevance in materials science. The second section deals with analytical and computational ideas. The third section is called Experimental Method though it is really a series of examples based on Prof. Prawoto's personal experience. This type of presentation- the use of particular examples to demonstrate broader concepts - is powerful.
Download or read book High dimensional Nonlinear Diffusion Stochastic Processes written by Yevgeny Mamontov and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2001 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation This book is one of the first few devoted to high-dimensional diffusion stochastic processes with nonlinear coefficients. These processes are closely associated with large systems of Ito's stochastic differential equations and with discretized-in-the-parameter versions of Ito's stochastic differential equations that are nonlocally dependent on the parameter. The latter models include Ito's stochastic integro-differential, partial differential and partial integro-differential equations.The book presents the new analytical treatment which can serve as the basis of a combined, analytical -- numerical approach to greater computational efficiency. Some examples of the modelling of noise in semiconductor devices are provided
