This book contains 12 chapters with original and innovative research studies in the issues related to the broadly defined creep effect, which concerns not only the area of construction materials but also natural phenomena. The emphasis on the discussion of a new trend of experimental creep testing, which binds the classic creep methods to seek the correlation of parameters obtained in tests, deserves particular attention. This book aims to provide the readers, including, but not limited to, students and doctoral students and also the research personnel and engineers involved in the operation of equipment and structural components as well as specialists in high-temperature creep-resisting materials, with a comprehensive review of new trends in the field of creep-exposed materials and their research methodology. The chapters of this book were developed by respected and well-known researchers from different countries.
Failure Analysis - Structural Health Monitoring of Structure and Infrastructure Components is a collection of chapters written by academicians, researchers, and practicing engineers from all over the world. The chapters focus on some developments as well as problems in structural health monitoring (SHM) in civil engineering structures and infrastructures. The book covers a variety of multidisciplinary topics, including SHM, risk analysis, seismic analysis, and various modeling and simulation methodologies. This book is an excellent resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students, academics, and researchers across a wide variety of engineering disciplines, as well as for practicing engineers and other professionals in the engineering industry.
Advances in Fatigue and Fracture Testing and Modelling explores various aspects related to fatigue and fracture in metallic and non-metallic materials in terms of mechanical testing and numerical modelling. The book provides results of research work conducted by experts worldwide. It discusses fatigue failure of materials and presents possible numerical solutions. It also presents predictive models and finite element (FE) activities to illustrate the behaviour of materials in real-life conditions.
"Spots of a leopard" is a quest into manhood. When journalist Aernout Zevenbergen moved to Kenya, he had no idea that his encounters with life would inspire him unto a journey of self-discovery. What is love? When is a man a good father? Can friendship conquer loneliness?Zevenbergen asks questions few have dared to ask men. Faced with their honesty, the author gets to confront his own demons too.
This book, Casting Processes and Modelling of Metallic Materials, explores the various casting and modelling activities related to metallic alloy systems. The book provides results of research work conducted by experts from all over the globe to add to the research community in the era of the casting process and modelling. The book was edited by two experts in the field of materials science and modelling, Dr. Abdallah and Dr. Aldoumani, whom both have several publications in peer-reviewed journals, worldwide conferences, and scientific books. The book introduces the casting processes and then discusses the various issues and possible solutions. Over the past years, various models have been proposed and utilized to predict the performance of castings. Some of these models proved to be accurate whereas others failed to predict the casting performance. The strength of any predictive tool depends on the employment of physically meaningful parameters that replicate the real-life conditions. This has been illustrated in the current book with such predictive models and finite element (FE) modelling to illustrate the behaviour of castings in real-life conditions.
Utrecht, 2015. Abdallah en Sophie voeden hun zoon Ilias op met het beste van twee culturen, Marokko en Nederland. Oost en west raken in hem met elkaar verstrengeld. Aan hun mooie leven komt een tragisch einde als Ilias wordt aangereden, en overlijdt. Sophie deelt haar verdriet, Abdallah keert in zichzelf. Beiden ervaren verlies, maar hun rouw is volstrekt verschillend. Door het wegvallen van Ilias komt hun enerverende, biculturele relatie waarin liefde en genegenheid centraal staan onder druk te staan. Paradijsvogel boven de Hoge Woerd is gebaseerd op een waargebeurd verhaal.
Throughout the decade that predated the 1967 war, Jordan's declared views regarding Israel and the Arab-Israeli conflict were not basically different from those of the Arab consensus - namely, rejection of Israel's legitimacy. This work talks about this conflict.
