Advancement of Optical Methods in Experimental Mechanics, Volume 3 of the Proceedings of the 2016 SEM Annual Conference & Exposition on Experimental and Applied Mechanics, the third volume of ten from the Conference, brings together contributions to this important area of research and engineering. The collection presents early findings and case studies on a wide range of optical methods ranging from traditional photoelasticity and interferometry to more recent DIC and DVC techniques, and includes papers in the following general technical research areas:...

Japan's famous samurai warriors were more than just soldiers -- they were adherents to a strict code of honor who respected the deeper, spiritual meaning of the way of the sword. To the samurai, battle was sacred.

This indispensable guide to theory and practice respects both the physical and spiritual aspects of martial arts practice with the katana. This sword book features:

• Beautiful, step-by-step photos and easy-to-understand text
• Guidance for selecting,...

This volume introduces a comprehensive theory of deformation and fracture to engineers and applied scientists. Here "comprehensive" means that the theory can describe all stages of deformation from elastic to plastic and plastic to fracturing stage on the same basis (equations). The comprehensive approach is possible because the theory is based on a fundamental physical principle called the local symmetry, or gauge invariance, as opposed to phenomenology.

Professor Yoshida explains the gist of local symmetry (gauge invariance) intuitively so that engineers and applied physicists can...

Action Duels have become a global sensation, but what is the dark secret behind them that threatens to destroy the world?

After his Duel with Sora Shiunin, Yuya wakes up back in his hideout, where his alter egos tell him about a mysterious power called the Adam Factor. Yuya's quest to learn the secret of the Adam Factor and its connection to the Genesis Omega Dragon will take him into the lost memories of his past--and bring him face-to-face with his rival Reiji Akaba
