This book uses a novel concept to teach the finite element method, applying it to solid mechanics. This major conceptual shift takes away lengthy theoretical derivations in the face-to-face interactions with students and focuses on the summary of key equations and concepts; and to practice these on well-chosen example problems.

For this new, 2nd edition, many examples and design modifications have been added, so that the learning-by-doing features of this book make it easier to understand the concepts and put them into practice.

Andreas Ochsner bietet eine Einfuhrung in die unterschiedlichen Theorien der statischen Balkenbiegung sowie deren Annahmen und Limitierungen. Er behandelt insbesondere die Theorien nach Euler-Bernoulli, Timoshenko und Levinson bei kleinen Verformungen und Dehnungen. Dieses Wissen bildet die Grundlage fur die Anwendung moderner Berechnungsmethoden, zum Beispiel der Methode der finiten Elemente (FEM). Das Buch bietet eine kompakte und schnelle Anleitung zur Anwendung der unterschiedlichen Balkentheorien. Die Annahmen und Limitierungen werden hier vergleichend in einem Werk dargestellt. Die...

This book presents the developments in engineering design application. The chapters on mechanical, materials, computer and process engineering provide the foundation for the design and development of improved structures, materials and processes. They present alternatives with cost reduction and environmental demands. The book content links the interaction of classical engineering with the health, medical and environmental sector.

These eleven stories take us from the Czech Republic to Alaska, from Siberia to West Texas, as they stake out territories straddling the border between life and death. In the title story the usual thoroughness of an insurance claims investigator spirals into obsession when Howard learns that a beautiful, drowned policyholder was a childhood neighbor he never knew. He is left uncentered, and his wife is convinced that he is having an affair. In "How the Dead Live" Karen keeps her late father's spirit trapped in her home until her newly detected pregnancy drives her thoughts outward and...
