Book Description
Bringing together the world's leading researchers and practitioners of computational mechanics, these new volumes meet and build on the eight key challenges for research and development in computational mechanics. Researchers have recently identified eight critical research tasks facing the field of computational mechanics. These tasks have come about because it appears possible to reach a new level of mathematical modelling and numerical solution that will lead to a much deeper understanding of nature and to great improvements in engineering design.The eight tasks are: The automatic solution of mathematical models Effective numerical schemes for fluid flows The development of an effective mesh-free numerical solution method The development of numerical procedures for multiphysics problems The development of numerical procedures for multiscale problems The modelling of uncertainties The analysis of complete life cycles of systems Education - teaching sound engineering and scientific judgement Readers of Computational Fluid and Solid Mechanics 2003 will be able to apply the combined experience of many of the world's leading researchers to their own research needs. Those in academic environments will gain a better insight into the needs and constraints of the industries they are involved with; those in industry will gain a competitive advantage by gaining insight into the cutting edge research being carried out by colleagues in academia. Features Bridges the gap between academic researchers and practitioners in industry Outlines the eight main challenges facing Research and Design in Computational mechanics and offers new insights into the shifting the research agenda Provides a vision of how strong, basic and exciting education at university can be harmonized with life-long learning to obtain maximum value from the new powerful tools of analysis

Book Description
Performance under static and fatigue loads are evaluated for two different wearing surfaces for possible use on the steel orthotropic deck of San Mateo Hayward Bridge in the bay area of California. The two wearing surface materials studied include a 2" thick (nominal) premixed polyester concrete (PC) and a 2" thick (nominal) epoxy asphalt concrete (EAC). Flexural specimens that comprise a "steel-plate - wearing surface" composite simulating the surfacing system and geometry specific to the orthotropic steel deck of the San Mateo Hayward Bridge are used for the static and fatigue tests. Flexural tests were conducted at different dynamic loading frequencies (0.0167, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0 and 15.0 Hz) and at several different temperatures (20.°F- 120°F) to study the temperature dependency and loading rate effects. Following these tests, the fatigue tests were conducted on replicate EAC and PC composite specimens at each of room (70°F), cold (32°F) and hot (120°F) temperatures. Both wearing surface systems performed well at the cold temperatures, surviving 10 million fatigue cycles. Both wearing surfaces experienced cracking at the room and hot temperatures prior to 10 million cycles and these cracks did not result in wearing surface delamination or local debonding. The comparative study in this exhaustive laboratory investigation has shown that the 2" thick PC material could perform equally well as the original EAC wearing surface existing on San Mateo Hayward Bridge.
