Fracture Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications, Fourth Edition is the most useful and comprehensive guide to fracture mechanics available. It has been adopted by more than 150 universities worldwide and used by thousands of engineers and researchers. This new edition reflects the latest research, industry practices, applications, and computational analysis and modeling. It encompasses theory and applications, linear and nonlinear fracture mechanics, solid mechanics, and materials science with a unified, balanced, and in-depth approach. Numerous chapter problems have been added or...

The book Maintenance Engineering and Management deals with the management principles and practices that govern the maintenance function apart from the engineering techniques. It gives the maintenance engineer the latest developments in maintenance engineering techniques like wear debris analysis, preventive maintenance and condition monitoring as well as management concepts like reliability based maintenance, logical fault location and lean maintenance.

Synthetic biology manipulates the stuff of life. For synthetic biologists, living matter is programmable material. In search of carbon-neutral fuels, sustainable manufacturing techniques, and innovative drugs, these researchers aim to redesign existing organisms and even construct completely novel biological entities. Some synthetic biologists see themselves as designers, inventing new products and applications. But if biology is viewed as a malleable, engineerable, designable medium, what is the role of design and how will its values apply?

In this book, synthetic biologists,...

The scientific analysis of design thinking is of considerable interest to academic scholars and design practitioners across many disciplines. This research tradition has generated a growing corpus of studies examining how designers think when creating innovative products, although there has been limited analysis of how designers think when creating less tangible deliverables (e.g., concepts and user-insights). This book brings together 28 contributions from internationally-leading academics with an interest in design thinking who examine professional designers working on a project...

The International Symposium on Dynamics of Vehicles on Roads and Tracks is the leading international gathering of scientists and engineers from academia and industry in the field of ground vehicle dynamics to present and exchange their latest ideas and breakthroughs. The International Association of Vehicle System Dynamics (IAVSD) was established in Vienna in 1977 and has since held its biennial symposia throughout Europe and in the USA, Canada, Japan, South Africa and China.

The IAVSD, while celebrating its first 40 years, held the 25th Symposium at Rockhampton, Queensland,...

APPLIED ELASTICITY and PLASTICITY is designed for senior-level and 1st year graduate students in Civil, Mechanical, Aeronautical and Metallurgical Engineering who are learning the theory and application of elasticity and plasticity. Based on the author's many years of teaching and professional engineering, the text provides clear explanation of mechanics concepts with a wealth of detailed examples. Finite element analysis is covered, with examples using ANSYS for applied elasticity, and ABAQUES for plasticity. The text progresses from two-dimensional to three-dimensional concepts, with...
