Micromechanics of Materials, with Applications
Author: Mark KachanovPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319762044
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 723
Book Description
This book on micromechanics explores both traditional aspects and the advances made in the last 10–15 years. The viewpoint it assumes is that the rapidly developing field of micromechanics, apart from being of fundamental scientific importance, is motivated by materials science applications. The introductory chapter provides the necessary background together with some less traditional material, examining e.g. approximate elastic symmetries, Rice’s technique of internal variables and multipole expansions. The remainder of the book is divided into the following parts: (A) classic results, which consist of Rift Valley Energy (RVE), Hill’s results, Eshelby’s results for ellipsoidal inhomogeneities, and approximate schemes for the effective properties; (B) results aimed at overcoming these limitations, such as volumes smaller than RVE, quantitative characterization of “irregular” microstructures, non-ellipsoidal inhomogeneities, and cross-property connections; (C) local fields and effects of interactions on them; and lastly (D) – the largest section – which explores applications to eight classes of materials that illustrate how to apply the micromechanics methodology to specific materials.
Design and Analysis of Piping, Vessels, and Components--2002
Author: Artin A. DermenjianPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Annotation This volume of proceedings from the August 2002 conference consists of 26 technical papers from six sessions on the design and analysis of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, piping, and components. Among the topics are a structural evaluation of a piping system subject to thermal stratification, dynamic pipe stresses during water hammer, and fatigue life prediction for short dents in petroleum pipelines. Other topics include the design of ellipsoidal heads using elastic finite element analysis, vibration modes of spherical shells and containment vessels, and convergence of the axisymmetric Bessel function solution to the pipe strap anchor problem.

Author: Methodologies for Assessing Pipe Failure Rates in Advanced Water Cooled Reactors
Author: IAEAPublisher: International Atomic Energy Agency
ISBN: 9201505221
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
This publication, which draws upon the outcome of an IAEA coordinated research project, presents methodologies for assessing pipe failure rates in advanced water cooled reactors (WCRs), including a comprehensive review of good practices for the assessment of piping reliability parameters for advanced WCRs. Good practices are those processes and analytical tasks that would be expected in piping reliability analysis in order for the results to be realistic representations of piping structural integrity. This publication builds on technical insights that have been obtained using different methodologies when applied in multiple analytical contexts and responding to the requirements of different national codes and standards. It provides Member States with a strong technical basis for establishing design and plant centric piping reliability parameters for input into probabilistic safety assessment studies, in-service inspection programme development, and operational support. Additionally, an objective evaluation and inter-comparison of methods used in participating Member States is outlined leading to a harmonization of the practices relevant to newly deployable advanced WCRs.
Probabilistic Safety Assessment and Management
Author: Cornelia SpitzerPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 0857294105
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 3803
Book Description
A collection of papers presented at the PSAM 7 – ESREL ’04 conference in June 2004, reflecting a wide variety of disciplines, such as principles and theory of reliability and risk analysis, systems modelling and simulation, consequence assessment, human and organisational factors, structural reliability methods, software reliability and safety, insights and lessons from risk studies and management/decision making. This volume covers both well-established practices and open issues in these fields, identifying areas where maturity has been reached and those where more development is needed.
Proceedings of the ASME Turbo Expo 2002 Presented at the 2002 ASME Turbo Expo, June 3-6, 2002, Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Author: Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 622
Book Description
Annotation This is Volume 1 of five volumes that comprise the proceedings of the June 2002 conference, sponsored by the International Gas Turbine Institute (IGTI), a technical institute of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. The purpose of the conference was to facilitate international exchange and development of educational and technical information related to the design, application, manufacture, operation, maintenance, and environmental impact of all types of gas engines. With an emphasis upon the need for more efficient, cleaner, and more reliable gas turbines, the approximately 130 articles cover various technical aspects of aircraft engines; coal, biomass, and alternative fuels; combustion and fuels; education; electric power; and vehicular and small turbomachines.

Philosophical Transactions
Author: Pattern Recognition for Reliability Assessment of Water Distribution Networks
Author: N. TrifunovicPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1466558024
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
This study investigates the patterns that describe reliability of water distribution networks focusing to the node connectivity, energy balance, and economics of construction, operation and maintenance. A number of measures to evaluate the network resilience has been developed and assessed to arrive at more accurate diagnostics of regular and irreg
