Design and Analysis of Materials and Engineering Structures [Paperback]

The idea of this monograph is to present the latest results related to design and analysis of materials and engineering structures. The contributions cover the field of mechanical and civil engineering, ranging from automotive to dam design, transmission towers and up to machine design and exmaples taken from oil industry. Well known experts present their research on damage and fracture of material and structures, materials modelling and evaluation up to image processing and visualization for advanced analyses and evaluation

This monograph sets out the latest data on the design and analysis of materials and engineering structures. Contributions cover the spectrum of mechanical and civil engineering, from automotive to dam design and from transmission towers to the oil industry.
