Adaptive, tolerant and efficient composite structures
Composite structures are most efficient in performance and production cost when combined with smart materials making them adaptable to changing operational conditions. The specific production processes of composites offer the possibility to integrate more functions thus making the structure more valuable. Active functions can be realized by smart materials, e.g. morphing, active vibration control, active structure acoustic control or structure health monitoring. The foundation is a sound understanding of materials, design methods, design principles, production technologies and adaptronics. Along the complete process chain this disciplines together deliver advanced lightweight solutions for applications ranging from mechanical engineering to vehicles, airframe and finally space structures. This book provides the scientific foundations as well as inspiring new ideas for engineers working in the field of composite lightweight structures.
Buckling and Postbuckling Structures
Provides an in-depth treatment of the study of the stability of engineering structures. This book is useful for professional engineers, graduate students and researchers interested in structural stability.
Advances in Computational Stability Analysis
Stability is a basic concern in both design and analysis of load-carrying systems and constitutes a major topic in the field of engineering science and mechanics. Since structural instability may lead to catastrophic failure of engineering structures, stability requirements must be satisfied besides requirements related to material failure. Knowledge on stability is of great importance in the areas of Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Aerospace Engineering; and all these disciplines have their own literature related to the subject. This book is intended to present state-of-the art in the stability analysis and to bring a number of researches together exposing the advances in the field. It consists of original and innovative research studies exhibiting various investigation directions.
Human-Animal Interactions in the Eighteenth Century
How did humans respond to the eighteenth-century discovery of countless new species of animals? This book explores the gamut of human-animal interactions: from love to cultural identifications, moral reflections, philosophical debates, classification systems, mechanical copies, insults and literary creativity.
