Mechanics of Metamaterials with Negative Parameters (Engineering Materials)
by Teik-Cheng LimThis book discusses bulk solids that derive their mechanical properties not from those of their base materials, but from their designed microstructures. Focusing on the negative mechanical properties, it addresses topics that reveal the counter-intuitive nature of solids, specifically the negativity of properties that are commonly positive, such as negative bulk modulus, negative compressibility, negative hygroexpansion, negative thermal expansion, negative stiffness phase, and negative Poisson’s ratio. These topics are significant not only due to the curiosity they have sparked, but also because of the possibility of designing materials and structures that can behave in ways that are not normally expected in conventional solids, and as such, of materials that can outperform solids and structures made from conventional materials.The book includes illustrations to facilitate learning, and, where appropriate, reference tables. The presentation is didactic, starting with simple cases, followed by increasingly complex ones. It provides a solid foundation for graduate students, and a valuable resource for practicing materials engineers seeking to develop novel materials through the judicious design of microstructures and their corresponding mechanisms.
Mechanics of Moving Materials
by Pekka Neittaanmäki Nikolay Banichuk Juha Jeronen Tytti Saksa Tero TuovinenThis book deals with theoretical aspects of modelling the mechanical behaviour of manufacturing, processing, transportation or other systems in which the processed or supporting material is travelling through the system. Examples of such applications include paper making, transmission cables, band saws, printing presses, manufacturing of plastic films and sheets, and extrusion of aluminium foil, textiles and other materials. The work focuses on out-of-plane dynamics and stability analysis for isotropic and orthotropic travelling elastic and viscoelastic materials, with and without fluid-structure interaction, using analytical and semi-analytical approaches. Also topics such as fracturing and fatigue are discussed in the context of moving materials. The last part of the book deals with optimization problems involving physical constraints arising from the stability and fatigue analyses, including uncertainties in the parameters. The book is intended for researchers and specialists in the field, providing a view of the mechanics of axially moving materials. It can also be used as a textbook for advanced courses on this specific topic. Considering topics related to manufacturing and processing, the book can also be applied in industrial mathematics.

Mechanics of Solid Materials
by Jean Lemaitre Jean-Louis ChabocheElasticity, plasticity, damage mechanics and cracking are all phenomena which determine the resistance of solids to deformation and fracture. The authors of this book discuss a modern method of mathematically modelling the behaviour of macroscopic volume elements. The book is self-contained and the first three chapters review physical mechanisms at the microstructural level, thermodynamics of irreversible processes, mechanics of continuous media, and the classification of the behaviour of solids. The rest of the book is devoted to the modelling of different types of material behaviour. In each case the authors present characteristic data for numerous materials, and discuss the physics underlying the phenomena together with methods for the numerical analysis of the resulting equations.
Mechanics of Solids and Materials

The extensive use of transform methods to generate solutions makes the book also of interest to structural, mechanical, and aerospace engineers. Plasticity theories, micromechanics, crystal plasticity, energetics of elastic systems, as well as an overall review of math and thermodynamics are also covered in the book.
Mechanics of Solids and Structures (Applied and Computational Mechanics)
by Roger T. Fenner J.N. Reddy Arun R. SrinivasaThe third edition of Mechanics of Solids and Structures makes use of computational methods such as the finite element method that has revolutionized the field to solve problems while retaining all the basic principles and foundational information needed for mastering advanced engineering mechanics principles and acquiring problem-solving skills. The authors have updated the text to include the integration of numerical approaches and MATLAB® computer programs into the body of the text for carrying out analysis of truss, beam, and frame structures. The third edition also offers an update to Chapters 1 through 4 as follows. All material related to determinate trusses and cables is moved to Chapter 1, as most students most likely were introduced to these topics in a course on statics. Thus, Chapter 1 of the current edition is a review of statics. The concepts of stress and strain and associated examples were moved from Chapter 1 to Chapter 2, with additional discussion of concepts and examples. Chapter 3 in the new edition deals with stress-strain relations with applications to determinate systems, including trusses and thin-walled pressure vessels. Indeterminate trusses and associated computer implementation have been moved from Chapter 4 of the second edition to Chapter 7 of the current edition. Other indeterminate systems from old Chapter 4 have been retained in new Chapter 4. The second major change is the updating of all the computational tools from FORTRAN to MATLAB and providing interactive tools (i.e., APPs) in Chapters 7, 10, and 12 of the new edition. All computational examples from Chapters 4 and 6 on trusses and beams of the second edition are consolidated into a new chapter, Chapter 7 with numerous examples and applications of newly included TRUSS2d, BEAM, and FRAME2d APPs. Chapter 7 also introduces finite element analysis of plane frames (a new topic). The authors have also added new examples and exercise problems throughout the book that allow students to practice and apply the concepts and formulas to solve problems.

Mechanics of Strain Gradient Materials (CISM International Centre for Mechanical Sciences #600)
by Samuel Forest Albrecht BertramOver the past 50 years, strain gradient material theories have been developed for the continuum modeling of size effects in materials and structures in terms of their elasticity, plasticity and fracturing. This book puts forward a unifying perspective to combine existing theories involving the higher order gradient of the strain tensor, or of plastic strain. It begins by reviewing experimental findings on the existence (or non-existence) of size effects on the mechanics of materials. In turn, the book devises first, second and higher order strain gradient theories from general principles, and presents constitutive frameworks that satisfy thermodynamic requirements. The special case of strain gradient plasticity is then developed and illustrated via computational analyses of size effects on the plasticity of metals at small scales. In closing, the book explains the origin of gradient effects in the case of lattice structures by drawing on homogenization theory.

Mechanik – Mikromechanik – Nanomechanik: Vom Eigenschaftsverstehen zur Eigenschaftsverbesserung
by Goerg H. MichlerUm das mechanische Verhalten von Werkstoffen einerseits besser zu verstehen und andererseits gezielt verbessern zu können, müssen die Prozesse und Mechanismen, die bei mechanischer Belastung im Material in Abhängigkeit von den Materialstrukturen ablaufen (die sog. „Struktur- Eigenschafts-Korrelationen“), bekannt sein. Grundlegend sind die Prozesse auf mikro- und nanoskopischer Größenebene, d.h. im Größenbereich von 0,1 mm bis herab zu 0,1 nm (d.h. sog. Mikro- und Nanomechanik). Der Autor charakterisiert anschaulich diese mikro- und nanomechanischen Mechanismen mit aussagefähigen Schemata und Bildern auf der Grundlage hauptsächlich von elektronenmikroskopischen Analysen. Neben allgemeingültigen Prozessen und Mechanismen wird auch auf materialspezifische Effekte (z.B. Crazes, Chevrons, Dünnschichtfließen) eingegangen.Die Produktfamilie WissensExpress bietet Ihnen Lehr- und Lernbücher in kompakter Form. Die Bücher liefern schnell und verständlich fundiertes Wissen.
