Book Description
La résolution de problèmes de dimensionnement et de calcul de résistance mécanique de pièces, d’assemblages et de structures utilise de manière très courante la méthode des éléments finis. Les logiciels exploitant cette méthode font maintenant partie des outils incontournables du cycle de développement de nouveaux produits et systèmes. Ce cours d'introduction à la méthode des éléments finis vise l’acquisition des connaissances théoriques de base, nécessaires à une bonne compréhension des outils logiciels de calcul par éléments finis. Les bonnes pratiques et difficultés d'utilisation de ces outils logiciels sont présentées et l'aspect théorique de la méthode est complétée par des exercices d'application avec leurs corrigés. Cette 2e édition mise à jour comporte de nouveaux développements, en particulier concernant la formulation d'éléments finis classiquement utilisés en élasticité linéaire.

Book Description
Nous appelons structure tout assemblage de pièces, destiné à supporter un chargement, à transmettre des efforts. De ce fait, une construction quelconque est toujours réalisée autour d'une structure, e.g. une machine, un véhicule, un avion, un vaisseau spatial, un navire, un pont, un bâtiment, etc. La Mécanique des Structures a pour objet essentiel l'étude du cheminement des efforts dans les pièces, des interactions entre ces pièces, des contraintes et déformations autour de chaque point, des vibrations qui peuvent prendre naissance, des ruptures possibles, etc. Cela peut être résumé en disant qu'elle étudie la réponse de la structure aux différentes sollicitations appliquées, et ceci, en fonction de la géométrie des pièces constituantes, des propriétés mécaniques des matériaux, des liaisons, des chargements imposés. Avec le développement des ordinateurs, la Méthode des Eléments Finis reste la méthode la plus puissante pour résoudre les problèmes de la Mécanique des Structures et des Matériaux. Elle consiste à discréditer la pièce, ou la structure étudiée, en un nombre fini d'éléments sur lesquels on privilégie quelques points, appelés Noeuds, où les forces et les déplacements sont calculés. Dans ce livre, les étapes du passage du continu au discret sont exposées en commençant par des structures simples (treillis et portiques), pour aller aux objets tridimensionnels, aux problèmes de vibrations, de contraintes thermiques et de matériaux composites. La deuxième partie de ce livre permet au lecteur de résoudre toute une gamme de problèmes, par l'analyse et par la M.E.F., pour comparer la proximité des résultats obtenus

Book Description
This report from the Transport Committee, examines London Underground and the Public-Private Partnership Agreements. The Government originally announced proposals for modernising the London Underground network system via Public-Private Partnership (PPP) agreements in 1998. Three contracts were drawn up with: (i) Tube Lines for the maintenance and renewal of the Jubilee, Piccadilly and Northern Lines; (ii) with Metronet Rail BVC for the maintenance and renewal of the Bakerloo, Central, Victoria & Waterloo & City Lines; (iii) with Metronet Rail SSL, responsible for the maintenance and renewal of the "sub-surface lines": the Circle, District, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan & East London Lines. These PPP Agreements, 30 years in duration, were arrangements to maintain, renew and upgrade parts of London Underground by private sector infrastructure companies (Infracos), whilst London Underground is responsible for services to customers. The PPP Agreements also set out a performance-related incentive and penalty scheme to remunerate the Infracos for the improvements they make to the network. In May 2007, Metronet admitted an overspend of £1 billion and was refused access to loan facilities by the banks. It then made a reference to the PPP Arbiter, which in turn triggered an Extraordinary Review (which occurs when extra costs are incurred above the level allowed for the bid). Metronet put in a bid for £551m but the PPP Arbiter provisionally concluded that a sum of £121m was appropriate. Metronet subsequently went into administration on 18 July 2007. The report sets out a number of conclusions and recommendations, including: contracts that were supposed to deliver 35 station upgrades, in fact delivered only 14, 40% of the requirement; stations that were supposed to cost Metronet SSL £2m, cost £7.5m, with only 65% of schedule track renewal accomplished; the Committee criticises the consequences of the imposition of PPP on Transport for London, as a "lamentable state of affairs", with the future of most of London Underground's upgrade and maintenance work in doubt; the Committee states, that the Government should remember the failure of Metronet before it considers entering similar arrangements; that the Government should publish a candid analysis of the events preceding Metronet's collapse and its consequences; the Committee believe that the PPP model was flawed and probably inferior to traditional public-sector management; that the Government needs to prioritise transparency and clarity to taxpayers and ensure that any future contracts result in clear accountability.

Book Description
This handbook dicussess tyre-road contact forces generated by heavy vehicles covering their influence on road surface and bridge response and damage, as well as ways of regulating and improving vehicles so as to minimize road damage.;The main incentive for understanding vehicle-road interaction is the possibility of reducing the road damage caused by heavy vehicles and the very high associated costs. This may be achieved by highway authorities, through improved design and construction of roads; by government agencies, through regulations intended to encourage the use of more "road-friendly" vehicles; or by vehicle engineers, through design of improved vehicle configurations and suspensions, which minimize road damage.;The book provides a unified mechanistic approach to the entire subject, covering vehicle dynamics; dynamic tyre forces; weigh-in-motion; pavement and bridge response; damage mechanisms of paving materials; vehicle-guideway interaction; suspension design to minimize road damage; and assessing road damaging potential of vehicles for regulatory purposes. It includes 25 literature reviews, covering topics from asphalt deformation to weigh-in-motion, and citing over 500 references. In addition, it discusses both the fundamental mechanics of the mechanical and civil engineering systems, as well as practical and implementation issues.

Book Description
Over a period of several years the field of probabilistic mechanics and com putational mechanics have progressed vigorously, but independently. With the advent of powerful computational hardware and the development of novel mechanical techniques, the field of stochastic mechanics has progressed in such a manner that the inherent uncertainty of quite complicated systems can be addressed. The first International Conference on Computational Stochastic Mechanics was convened in Corfu in September 1991 in an ef fort to provide a forum for the exchanging of ideas on the current status of computational methods as applied to stochastic mechanics and for identi fying needs for further research. The Conference covered both theoretical techniques and practical applications. The Conference also celebrated the 60th anniversary of the birthday of Dr. Masanobu Shinozuka, the Sollenberger Professor of Civil Engineering at Princeton University, whose work has contributed in such a great measure to the development of Computational Stochastic Mechanics. A brief sum mary of his career and achievements are given in the Dedication. This book comprises some of the papers presented at the meeting and cov ers sections on Theoretical Reliability Analysis; Damage Analysis; Applied Reliability Analysis; Theoretical Random Vibrations; Stochastic Finite Ele ment Concept; Fatigue and Fracture; Monte Carlo Simulations; Earthquake Engineering Applications; Materials; Applied Random Vibrations; Applied Stochastic Finite Element Analysis, and Flow Related Applications and Chaotic Dynamics. The Editors hope that the book will be a valuable contribution to the grow ing literature covering the field of Computational Stochastic Mechanics.

Book Description
Ces notes de cours (Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées, DEA de Mécanique de Paris VI) présentent la méthode des éléments finis dans un cadre mathématique rigoureux. En accordant une place fondamentale aux conditions inf-sup, elles s'affranchissent du cadre réducteur Lax-Milgram/Galerkin standard. Elles couvrent un spectre d'applications relativement large et apportent de nombreuses précisions sur la mise en oeuvre numérique. Trois plans de lecture sont proposés: le premier conçu pour un lecteur intéressé par les aspects mathématiques, le deuxième s' adressant aux ingénieurs et le troisième limité aux aspects élémentaires. Les prérequis mathématiques, de niveau 2ème cycle universitaire, sont rappelés dans deux annexes.
