This book presents recent advances related to the following two topics: how mechanical fields close to material or geometrical singularities such as cracks can be determined; how failure criteria can be established according to the singularity degrees related to these discontinuities. Concerning the determination of mechanical fields close to a crack tip, the first part of the book presents most of the traditional methods in order to classify them into two major categories. The first is based on the stress field, such as the Airy function, and the second resolves the problem from functions related to displacement fields. Following this, a new method based on the Hamiltonian system is present...
Focusing on fundamental principles, Hydro-Environmental Analysis: Freshwater Environments presents in-depth information about freshwater environments and how they are influenced by regulation. It provides a holistic approach, exploring the factors that impact water quality and quantity, and the regulations, policy and management methods that are necessary to maintain this vital resource. It offers a historical viewpoint as well as an overview and foundation of the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics affecting the management of freshwater environments. The book concentrates on broad and general concepts, providing an interdisciplinary foundation. The author covers the methods o...

We are delighted to present the proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Advances in Additive Manufacturing Technologies (ICAAMT 2023). This conference serves as a premier forum for researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to share their latest findings, innovations, and insights in the field of additive manufacturing. The rapid advancements and the increasing adoption of these technologies across various sectors underscore the importance of this gathering. The conference was held from November 27-29, 2023, in Chennai, India and organized by the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Chennai Institute of Technology, Chennai, India.
Avoiding or controlling fatigue damage is a major issue in the design and inspection of welded structures subjected to dynamic loading. Life predictions are usually used for safe life analysis, i.e. for verifying that it is very unlikely that fatigue damage will occur during the target service life of a structure. Damage tolerance analysis is used for predicting the behavior of a fatigue crack and for planning of in-service scheduled inspections. It should be a high probability that any cracks appearing are detected and repaired before they become critical. In both safe life analysis and the damage tolerance analysis there may be large uncertainties involved that have to be treated in a logi...
This volume highlights the latest developments and trends in advanced materials and their properties, the modeling and simulation of non-classical materials and structures, and new technologies for joining materials. It presents the developments of advanced materials and respective tools to characterize and predict the material properties and behavior.
Les objectifs de la mécanique de la rupture sont double, d'une part ils concernent la description des champs mécaniques au voisinage de la pointe de la fissure et les énergies qui leur sont associées et d'autre part, ils traitent de l'évaluation de la nocivité d'une fissure en terme de la propagation de celle-ci. Deux champs d'étude constituent la structure de cet ouvrage, l'un relatif à la modélisation de la singularité induite par la pointe d'une fissure qui est relatée dans le premier tome intitulé : Modélisation des champs mécaniques en pointe de fissure et des singularités. Après un premier volume intitulé "Mécanique de la rupture par fissuration", ce deuxième tome tr...
