In this book the real analytic solutions for the "Disc with Circular Inclusion" under normal- and shear force at plane-strain state (EVZ) are presented. The associated solution process, which was developed according to the principle of statically indeterminate systems, is docume…
In this thesis changes in the nature of seismicity are examined in the context of changes in the stress/strain field occurring as part of the earthquake process. The history of earthquake recording in Northern Pakistan, central California, and the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone…
This work deals with the underlying physical mechanisms and processes that dominate the fracture of cement based materials and their electrical properties. Electric current emissions were recorded when hardened cement pastes and cement mortars suffered mechanical loading in vari…
Background: Accurate assessment of left ventricular (LV) systolic function in chronic severe primary mitral regurgitation (MR) is important as the aim is to consider surgical repair prior to the onset of irreversible LV dysfunction. However this can be difficult to judge as conv…
A suicide attack is an extreme modus operandi of terrorism. This research examines the application of two similar sociological theories to terrorism and specifically, to suicide terrorism. Three models are built to test if Merton‘s strain theory can explain the propensities of p…
The diagnosis of a primary malignant brain tumor (PMBT) can be devastating for individuals and their families due to the limited treatment options and poor prognosis. Patients often rely on family members to manage their care; however, many caregivers feel under-prepared and ove…
Simple stresses and strains -- Composite bars and temperature stresses -- Principal stresses and strains -- Elastic constants -- Thin cylindrical and spherical shells -- Thick shells -- Shear force and bending moment diagrams -- Theory of simple bending -- Shear stresses in beam…

Updated and improved, Stress Analysis of Fiber-Reinforced Composite Materials, Hyer's work remains the definitive introduction to the use of mechanics to understand stresses in composites caused by deformations, loading, and temperature changes. In contrast to a materials scienc…
"This book provides a practical guide to the basic essentials of earthquake engineering with a focus on seismic loading and structural design. - Benefiting from the author's extensive career in structural and earthquake engineering, dynamic analysis and lecturing, it is written …
