Dieses Lehrbuch beschreibt die numerische Berechnung von Nichtlinearitaten in der Strukturmechanik, d. h. grosse Drehungen, grosse Dehnungen (geometrische Nichtlinearitaten), nichtlineares Materialverhalten, besonders Plastizitat und zeitabhangiges Verhalten, und Kontakt. Darauf aufbauend werden Stabilitatsprobleme und Traglastberechnungen behandelt. Dabei wird am Beispiel einfacher Systeme die Problematik erlautert, formelmassig erfasst, in den Kontext der Finiten Elemente eingebunden und bis zum Dreidimensionalen verallgemeinert. Die einzelnen Schritte werden detailliert bis hin zu...

This book deals with ship design and in particular with methodologiesof the preliminary design of ships. The book is complemented by a basic bibliography and five appendices with useful updated charts for the selection of the main dimensions and other basic characteristics of different types of ships (Appendix A), the determination of hull form from the data of systematic hull form series (Appendix B), the detailed description of the relational method for the preliminary estimation of ship weights (Appendix C), a brief review of thehistorical evolution of shipbuilding science and...

Creativity and design creativity in particular are being recognized as playing an increasing role in the social and economic wellbeing of a society. As a consequence creativity is becoming a focus of research. However, much of this burgeoning research is distributed across multiple disciplines that normally do not intersect with each other and researchers in one discipline are often unaware of related research in another discipline.

This volume brings together contributions from design science, computer science, cognitive science and neuroscience on studying visual and spatial...

Exploring the concept of quality management from a new point of view, this book presents a holistic model of how consumers judge the quality of products. It links consumer perceptions of quality to the design and delivery of the final product, and presents models and methods for improving the quality of these products and services. It offers readers an improved understanding of how and why the design process must consider how the consumer will perceive a product or service. In order to facilitate the presentation and understanding of these concepts, illustrations and case examples are also...

While investigations into both theories and models has remained a major strand of engineering design research, current literature sorely lacks a reference book that provides a comprehensive and up-to-date anthology of theories and models, and their philosophical and empirical underpinnings; An Anthology of Theories and Models of Design fills this gap.

The text collects the expert views of an international authorship, covering:

- significant theories in engineering design, including CK theory, domain theory, and the theory of technical systems;

- current models of...

This book treats corrosion as it occurs and affects processes in real-world situations, and thus points the way to practical solutions. Topics described include the conditions in which petroleum products are corrosive to metals; corrosion mechanisms of petroleum products; which parts of storage tanks containing crude oils and petroleum products undergo corrosion; dependence of corrosion in tanks on type of petroleum products; aggressiveness of petroleum products to polymeric material; how microorganisms take part in corrosion of tanks and pipes containing petroleum products; which...

The approach to the solution within the CRC/TR 96 financed by the German Research Foundation DFG aims at measures that will allow manufacturing accuracy to be maintained under thermally unstable conditions with increased productivity, without an additional demand for energy for tempering. The challenge of research in the CRC/TR 96 derives from the attempt to satisfy the conflicting goals of reducing energy consumption and increasing accuracy and productivity in machining.

In the current research performed in 19 subprojects within the scope of the CRC/TR 96, correction and...
