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…
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…
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…
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…
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 study attempts to explore the strains that terror organization members experience prior to the training process in the organization. The primary goal of this research is to understand the relationship between the earlier experienced strains of terrorists and their violent b…
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…
"With the author's experience of teaching the courses on Finite Element Analysis to undergraduate and postgraduate students for several years, the author felt need for writing this book. The concept of Finite Element Analysis, finding properties of various elements and assemblin…
Elementary elasticity -- Mechanical behaviour of materials -- Fixed beams -- Continuous beams -- Torsion of non-circular shafts -- Statically intermediate structures -- Rotational stresses -- Stain gauges -- Photoelasticity -- Brittle coating technique -- Moire fringes technique…
Experimental Stress Analysis deals with different aspects of stress analysis, highlighting basic and advanced concepts, with a separate chapter on aircraft structures. The inclusion of a large number of figures, tables, and solved problems ensure a clear and thorough understandi…
