Book Description
Rapid Penetration into Granular Media: Visualizing the Fundamental Physics of Rapid Penetration introduces readers to the variety of methods developed to visualize, observe, and model the rapid penetration of natural and man-made projectiles into earth materials while providing seasoned practitioners with a standard reference that showcases the topic's most recent developments in research and application. There has been a flurry of recently funded research both in the U.S. and Europe on studying the behavior of projectiles in granular media. This book compiles the findings of recent research on the subject and outlines the fundamental physics of rapid earth penetration, and assembles a comprehensive collection of experimental and numerical techniques to study the problem. - Presents a comprehensive interdisciplinary review of the latest research developments in the response of granular media to impact and impulsive loading - Combines the experience of prominent researchers from different disciplines focusing on the challenges presented by impact loading of granular media - Introduces recently developed methods for visualizing the fundamental physics of rapid penetration into granular media

Book Description
Proceedings of a Symposium sponsored by the Engineering Mechanics Division of ASCE (Committee on Properties of Materials and Committee on Fluid Mechanics) and the Applied Mechanics Division of American Society of Mechanical Engineers) (Committee on Geomechanics) Evanston, IL, June 29-July 2, 1997. Presenting a collection of recent advances in the areas of granular solids and granular fluids, these proceedings examine a variety of theoretical approaches including micromechanical methods, with the consideration of particle interactions, and conventional continuum mechanics methods. Complementary, computational, and experimental techniques that have been developed that study phenomena ranging from particle-level to bulk behavior are also covered.

Handbook of Structural Life Assessment
Author: Raouf A. IbrahimPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 111913546X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 580
Book Description
This important, self-contained reference deals with structural life assessment (SLA) and structural health monitoring (SHM) in a combined form. SLA periodically evaluates the state and condition of a structural system and provides recommendations for possible maintenance actions or the end of structural service life. It is a diversified field and relies on the theories of fracture mechanics, fatigue damage process, and reliability theory. For common structures, their life assessment is not only governed by the theory of fracture mechanics and fatigue damage process, but by other factors such as corrosion, grounding, and sudden collision. On the other hand, SHM deals with the detection, prediction, and location of crack development online. Both SLA and SHM are combined in a unified and coherent treatment.
