The novel finite element formulations fall into the category of geometrically exact Kirchhoff-Love beams. A prominent characteristic of this category is that the absence of shear deformation is strongly enforced by removing two degrees of freedom. Further, the corresponding beam theories exhibit not only translational but also rotational degrees of freedom and their configurations thus form a non-additive and non-commutative space. Sophisticated interpolation schemes are required that need to be tested not only for locking, spatial convergence behavior, and energy conservation, but also...

This book presents a summary of high-pressure phase transitions of minerals and related inorganic compounds. The first part reviews the methods to investigate phase transitions by direct high-pressure and high-temperature experiments together with thermodynamic approaches that consist of calorimetric measurements and thermodynamic calculation. In the second part, phase relations and thermodynamic properties of olivine, pyroxene, garnet, spinel, perovskite, rutile, and related inorganic compounds with A₂BO₄, ABO₃, AB₂O₄, and...

This book provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of fuel cells, including their fundamental principles, technical features, and practical applications. Fuel cells, as an ideal way of hydrogen utilization, are of great significance in promoting the hydrogen society. The aim of this book is to introduce the basics of various fuel cells and to provide a detailed description of some important research fields in PEMFC, such as catalysts, systems, and degradation. The book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in energy conversion technology,...

This valuable new book provides a broad understanding of the main computational techniques used for processing reclamation of fluid and solid mechanics. The aim of these computational techniques is to reduce and eliminate the risk of mechanical systems in hydraulic machines. Using many computational methods for mechanical engineering problems, the book presents not only a platform for solving problems but also provides a wealth of information to address various technical aspects of troubleshooting of mechanical system failure.

Suitable for classroom use, the book lends...
