In continuous casting, longitudinal cracks and depressions are some of the most dangerous defects in the cast product. Cracks and depressions can lead to substantial mitigation costs or sudden failures in the final product, and in the worst case can lead to catastrophic breakout…
This book presents papers from the International Conference on Sustainable Civil Engineering and Architecture 2019, which was held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, from 24-26 October 2019. The conference brought together international experts from both academia and industry to shar…
This book discusses bulk solids that derive their mechanical properties not from those of their base materials, but from their designed microstructures. Focusing on the negative mechanical properties, it addresses topics that reveal the counter-intuitive nature of solids, specif…
The Cell Method (CM) is a computational tool that maintains criticalmultidimensional attributes of physical phenomena in analysis. Thisinformation is neglected in the differential formulations of the classicalapproaches of finite element, boundary element, finite volume, and fin…
This book gathers the peer-reviewed proceedings of the 14th International Symposium, PRADS 2019, held in Yokohama, Japan, in September 2019. It brings together naval architects, engineers, academic researchers and professionals who are involved in ships and other floating struct…
Now in an updated second edition, this classroom-tested textbook describes essential concepts in vibration analysis of mechanical systems.The second edition includes a new chapter on finite element modeling and an updated section on dynamic vibration absorbers, as well as new st…

This book addresses the problems of fracture mechanics of materials with cracks under the loading directed along the cracks. It considers two non-classical fracture mechanisms, namely the fracture of bodies compressed along cracks and the fracture of materials with initial (resi…
The derivation and understanding of Partial Differential Equations relies heavily on the fundamental knowledge of the first years of scientific education, i.e., higher mathematics, physics, materials science, applied mechanics, design, and programming skills. Thus, it is a chall…
Collection of selected, peer reviewed papers from the Australasian Conference of Computational Mechanics 2013 (ACCM 2013), October 3-4, 2013, Sydney, Australia. The 139 papers are grouped as follows: Chapter 1: Advanced Materials and Multiscale Modelling, Chapter 2: Computationa…
This book describes the main approaches for production and synthesis of nanostructured metals and alloys, taking into account the fatigue behavior of materials in additive manufactured components. Depending on the material type, form, and application, a deep discussion of fatigu…
