Dieses Lehrbuch bietet eine einheitliche Darstellung der Theorien und der praktischen Entwurfsgrundlagen fur alle Zweige des Maschinenbaus und des Bauingenieurwesens. Fur den Studenten sind die dreizehn Abschnitte so angeordnet, dass der naturliche Fluss der Theoreme und der notwendigen Reflexionen gleichzeitig Leitfaden und Anregung bietet. Innerhalb jedes Kapitels wird der Stoff so gegliedert, dass dem Anfanger der Einstieg ermoglicht wird, um dann bis zu einem mittleren, manchmal bis zu einem hoheren Niveau vertiefend fortzuschreiten. Die mechanischen Darlegungen einschliesslich der...

Two key words for mechanical engineering in the future are Micro and Intelligence.
Materials and structures, which have self-sensing diagnosis and actuating system, called intelligent or smart, are of growing importance in advanced technology. The IUTAM symposium on Dynamics of Advanced Materials and Smart Structures aimed at a fusion of materials and structures toward their intelligence. This book represents the symposium highlights, which consist of 45 papers presented by distinguished researchers from 17 countries. The papers are ranging from the materials science for sensor and...

This symposium is the fifth in a series of IUTAM Symposia on the application of stochastic methods in mechanics. The general theme of this symposium is nonlinear stochastic dynamics of engineering systems. This is believed to be of great importance in providing the tools for basic development and progress in various fields of mechanical, structural, and aeronautical engineering, particularly in the areas of vehicle dynamics, multi-storey structural dynamics, systems identification, offshore structural dynamics, nuclear structures under various stochastic loading conditions (wind, earthquake,...

from reviews of the first edition "This book is a comprehensive treatise... with a significant application to structural mechanics_ the author has provided sufficient applications of the theoretical principles_ such a connection between theory and application is a common theme and quite an attractive feature._ The book is a unique volume which contains information not easily found throughout the related literature." _ APPL. MECH. REV. This text, suitable for courses on fluid and solid mechanics, continuum mechanics, and strength of materials, offers a unified presentation of the theories and...
