Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book attempts to bring the essence of shell structures within the grasp of engineers. It tackles the fundamental question of how bending and stretching effects combine and interact in shell structures from a physical point of view; and shows that this approach leads to an understanding of the structural mechanics of shells in general.

Examples are automobile bodies, water and oil tanks, pipelines, aircraft fuselages, nanotubes, graphene sheets or beer cans. Also nature is full of living shells such as leaves of trees, blooming flowers, seashells, cell membranes, the double helix of DNA or wings of insects. In the human body arteries, the shell of the eye, the diaphragm, the skin or the pericardium are all shells as well. Shell Structures: Theory and Applications, Volume 3 contains 137 contributions presented at the 10th Conference “Shell Structures: Theory and Applications” held October 16-18, 2013 in Gdansk, Poland. The papers cover a wide spectrum of scientific and engineering problems which are divided into seven broad groups: general lectures, theoretical modelling, stability, dynamics, bioshells, numerical analyses, and engineering design. The volume will be of interest to researchers and designers dealing with modelling and analyses of shell structures and thin-walled structural elements.

Book excerpt: This book contains research papers presented at the 7th International Conference on Civil Engineering, which was held in Singapore from 24-26 March 2023. Significant results contained in the book show the importance of technology in solving engineering issues throughout the world. Highlighted topics include climate change, disaster relief, resilience, pollution control and management techniques for construction, mitigation and adaptation. Many techniques are utilized in a variety of contexts to solve engineering and urban management problems in both developed and developing countries. This volume consists of refereed submissions authored by a wide variety of international researchers and practitioners from many perspectives discussing emerging issues in civil and environmental engineering. Practical solutions to worldwide issues in hazard mitigation, pollution control, transportation infrastructure and energy production are emphasized. The chapters provide an in-depth look at current issues in these areas of engineering that should benefit interested individuals at all levels of expertise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The geotechnical behavior of shell foundations was investigated experimentally, numerically, and theoretically. Experimental investigation was carried out on nine prototype foundation models in loose, medium, and dense sands. Experimental set-up was organized and instrumented to perform the testing program. Loading tests were conducted on surface as well as embedded footings. Triangular, conical, and pyramidal shell models were tested against conventional strip, circular, and square flat counterparts, respectively. The influences of shell configuration on the ultimate bearing capacity, settlement, contact pressure distribution, and stresses within the soil mass, were investigated. Special loading tests using colored sand layers in a Plexiglas tank were performed to determine the failure mechanism of shell foundations. Numerical modelling, using the finite element code "CRISP," was conducted to simulate the experimental tests conditions of the plane strain models. Elastic perfectly plastic soil model, employing Mohr-Coulomb's yield criteria, was adopted to simulate the behavior of the tested sand. Deformed meshes, displacement vectors, stresses, strains, and displacements of the plane strain models are analyzed and presented. A theoretical model to predict the ultimate bearing capacity of shell foundations was developed. The theory provides kinematically and statically admissible solution. The effects of shell configuration on the shape of rupture surface and accordingly on the ultimate bearing capacity were incorporated. A computer program "BC-Shell" was developed to perform the mathematical calculations of the theoretical analysis. The program "BC-Shell" was then designed in an interactive mode for an easy application to predict the ultimate bearing capacity. Parametric study was conducted to examine the sensitivity of the governing parameters on the ultimate bearing capacity. Design charts and design tables are also presented to determine the bearing capacity coefficients and depth factors. In addition, the theory was extended to predict the ultimate bearing capacity of shell foundations in axisymmetrical and three dimensional conditions by introducing shape factors for shell foundations. The results of this study support that shell foundations should come into wider use in the geotechnical field as a serious alternative to shallow and deep foundations.

Book excerpt: Max reappeared in the doorway of the inn, and the crowd on deck shouted in delight as he stopped, bowed to his audience, and took a huge gulp from the open bottle. Gretchen shuddered against Helgas shoulder, and Hermies fist pounded the rail as he muttered between clenched teeth, Come on, Papa. Its all right. The captain will wait. Paul breathed into his cupped hands. The ship began its laboring surge as the black, swirling water of the Weser River churned up waves that grew from undulating ripples to frothy caps. Still Max whirled and danced and tipped his bottle as he headed almost casually toward the departing ship. The laughter died, and in a body the crowd began coaxing him to jump, make one mad leap, to entertain them one more time. Helga pulled the children tighter against her, holding them, willing them not to watch. And then Max jumped, tossing the empty bottle into the water as his body floated, suspended, arms extended, fingers spread, wildly grasping for the slowly arching rail. His face suddenly twisted to disbelieving shock as his fingers missed their grip, and he dropped like a slender arrow straight down into the roiling, icy water without causing the slightest splash. After three long months at sea, Helga Heinrich and her four children sail into the thriving Indianola seaport on the Texas coast in 1853 to begin a new chapter.
Download or read book Mechanics of laminated Composite doubly curvel shell structures written by Francesco Tornabene and published by Società Editrice Esculapio. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 824 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manuscript comes from the experience gained over ten years of study and research on shell structures and on the Generalized Differential Quadrature method. The title, Mechanics of Laminated Composite Doubly-Curved Shell Structures, illustrates the theme followed in the present volume. The present study aims to analyze the static and dynamic behavior of moderately thick shells made of composite materials through the application of the Differential Quadrature (DQ) technique. A particular attention is paid, other than fibrous and laminated composites, also to “Functionally Graded Materials” (FGMs). They are non-homogeneous materials, characterized by a continuous variation of the mechanical properties through a particular direction. The GDQ numerical solution is compared, not only with literature results, but also with the ones supplied and obtained through the use of different structural codes based on the Finite Element Method (FEM). Furthermore, an advanced version of GDQ method is also presented. This methodology is termed Strong Formulation Finite Element Method (SFEM) because it employs the strong form of the differential system of equations at the master element level and the mapping technique, proper of FEM. The connectivity between two elements is enforced through compatibility conditions.
