Product: Marine Concrete Structures: Design, Durability and Performance (Woodhead Publishing Series in Civil and Structural Engineering Book 64)
Description: Marine Concrete Structures: Design, Durability and Performance comprehensively examines structures located in, under, or in close proximity to the sea. A major emphasis of the book is on the long-term performance of marine concrete structures that not only represent major infrastructure investment and provision, but are also required to operate with minimal maintenance.

Chapters review the design, specification, construction, and operation of marine concrete structures, and examine their performance and durability in the marine environment. A number of case studies of significant marine concrete structures from around the world are included which help to reinforce the principles outlined in earlier chapters and provide useful background to these types of structures. The result is a thorough and up-to-date reference source that engineers, researchers, and postgraduate students in this field will find invaluable.

Covers, in detail, the design, specification, construction, and operation of marine concrete structures

Examines the properties and performance of concrete in the marine environment

Provides case studies on significant marine concrete structures and durability-based design from around the world

Product: Guide to Load Analysis for Durability in Vehicle Engineering (Automotive Series)
Description: The overall goal of vehicle design is to make a robust and reliable product that meets the demands of the customers and this book treats the topic of analysing and describing customer loads with respect to durability.

Guide to Load Analysis for Vehicle and Durability Engineering supplies a variety of methods for load analysis and also explains their proper use in view of the vehicle design process. In Part I, Overview, there are two chapters presenting the scope of the book as well as providing an introduction to the subject. Part II, Methods for Load Analysis, describes useful methods and indicates how and when they should be used. Part III, Load Analysis in view of the Vehicle Design Process, offers strategies for the evaluation of customer loads, in particular characterization of customer populations, which leads to the derivation of design loads, and finally to the verification of systems and components.

Key features:
• Is a comprehensive collection of methods for load analysis, vehicle dynamics and statistics
• Combines standard load data analysis methods with statistical aspects on deriving test loads from surveys of customer usage
• Sets the methods used in the framework of system dynamics and response, and derives recommendations for the application of methods in engineering practice
• Presents a reliability design methodology based on statistical evaluation of component strength and customers loads
• Includes case studies and illustrative examples that translate the theory into engineering practice

Developed in cooperation with six European truck manufacturers (DAF, Daimler, Iveco, MAN, Scania and Volvo) to meet the needs of industry, Guide to Load Analysis for Vehicle and Durability Engineering provides an understanding of the current methods in load analysis and will inspire the incorporation of new techniques in the design and test processes.

Product: Damage Tolerance and Durability of Material Systems
Description: A daring, original approach to understanding and predicting the mechanical behavior of materials
"Damage is an abstraction . . . Strength is an observable, an independent variable that can be measured, with clear and familiar engineering definitions."
-from the Preface to Damage Tolerance and Durability of Material Systems
Long-term behavior is one of the most challenging and important aspects of material engineering. There is a great need for a useful conceptual or operational framework for measuring long-term behavior. As much a revolution in philosophy as an engineering text, Damage Tolerance and Durability of Material Systems postulates a new mechanistic philosophy and methodology for predicting the remaining strength and life of engineering material. This philosophy associates the local physical changes in material states and stress states caused by time-variable applied environments with global properties and performance.
There are three fundamental issues associated with the mechanical behavior of engineering materials and structures: their stiffness, strength, and life. Treating these issues from the standpoint of technical difficulty, time, and cost for characterization, and relationship to safety, reliability, liability, and economy, the authors explore such topics as:
* Damage tolerance and failure modes
* Factors that determine composite strength
* Micromechanical models of composite stiffness and strength
* Stiffness evolution
* Strength evolution during damage accumulation
* Non-uniform stress states
* Lifetime prediction
With a robust selection of example applications and case studies, this book takes a step toward the fulfillment of a vision of a future in which the prediction of physical properties from first principles will make possible the creation and application of new materials and material systems at a remarkable cost savings.
