Transportation in cities, with related environmental and social concerns, continues to be a topic of the utmost priority for urban authorities and central governments around the world. Frequently, the concern is not orderly but driven by safety crises, which take place regularly, and even the best-planned urban transport systems require considerable studies to keep them operational, well-maintained, safe and secure. On a broader front, the continuing need for better urban transport systems in general and the need for a healthier environment has led to an increased level of research around the...

This book contains papers presented at the Third International Conference on Fluid Structure Interaction and the Eighth International Conference on Computational Modelling and Experimental Measurements of Free and Moving Boundary Problems. The first section is concerned with the interaction of fluids with a variety of structures encountered by the flow such as wind, current, biofluids, ocean waves, tall buildings, ocean structures, cables, towers, bridges, risers and biological structures. The second part deals with particular problems where the position of the border or interphase boundaries...

This book contains the papers presented at the ninth International Conference on Structures Under Shock and Impact. The shock and impact behaviour of structures is a challenging area, not only because of the obvious time-dependent aspects, but also because of the difficulties in specifying the external dynamic loading characteristics for structural designs and hazard assessments and in obtaining the dynamic properties of materials. Thus, it is important to recognise and utilise fully the contributions and understanding emerging from theoretical, numerical and experimental studies on...
