Dimensions : 18.42 x 3.81 x 26.04 cmLangues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : orthotropic materials finite element analysis elasticity laminates buckling micromechanics viscoelasticity damage machanics delaminations Index. décimale : 531 Résumé : Developed from the author's course on advanced mechanics of composite materials, Finite Element Analysis of Composite Materials with Abaqus(R) shows how powerful finite element tools tackle practical problems in the structural analysis of composites. This Second Edition includes two new chapters on "Fatigue" and "Abaqus Programmable Features" as well as a major update of chapter 10 "Delaminations" and significant updates throughout the remaining chapters. Furthermore, it updates all examples, sample code, and problems to Abaqus 2020.
Unlike other texts, this one takes theory to a hands-on level by actually solving problems. It explains the concepts involved in the detailed analysis of composites, the mechanics needed to translate those concepts into a mathematical representation of the physical reality, and the solution of the resulting boundary value problems using Abaqus. The reader can follow a process to recreate every example using Abaqus graphical user interface (CAE) by following step-by-step directions in the form of pseudo-code or watching the solutions on YouTube.
The first seven chapters provide material ideal for a one-semester course. Along with offering an introduction to finite element analysis for readers without prior knowledge of the finite element method, these chapters cover the elasticity and strength of laminates, buckling analysis, free edge stresses, computational micromechanics, and viscoelastic models for composites. Emphasizing hereditary phenomena, the book goes on to discuss continuum and discrete damage mechanics as well as delaminations and fatigue. The text also shows readers how to extend the capabilities of Abaqus via "user subroutines" and Python scripting.
Aimed at advanced students and professional engineers, this textbook features 62 fully developed examples interspersed with the theory, 82 end-of-chapter exercises, and 50+ separate pieces of Abaqus pseudo-code that illustrate the solution of example problems. The author's website offers the relevant Abaqus and MATLAB model files available for download, enabling readers to easily reproduce the examples and complete the exercises: https: //barbero.cadec-online.com/feacm-abaqus/index.html. Video recording of solutions to examples are available on YouTube with multilingual captions.

ISBN-13 : 978-0429652127Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : stresses strains soil mechanics compaction embankments Index. décimale : 624.15 Mécanique des Sols - Fondations Résumé : At first glance, roads seem like the simplest possible geotechnical structures. However, analysis of these structures runs up against complexities related to the intense stresses experienced by road surfaces, their intense interaction with climate, and the complicated behavior of the materials used in road construction.
Modern mechanistic approaches to road design provide the tools capable of developing new technical solutions. However, use of these approaches requires deep understanding of the behavior of constituent materials and their interaction with water and heat which has recently been acquired thanks to advances in geotechnical engineering. The author comprehensively describes and explains these advances and their use in road engineering in the two-volume set Geotechnics of Roads, compiling information that had hitherto only been available in numerous research papers.
Geotechnics of Roads: Advanced Analysis and Modeling develops 23 extended examples that cover most of the theoretical aspects presented in the book Geotechnics of Roads: Fundamentals. Moreover, for most examples, Volume 2 describes algorithms for solving complex problems and provides Matlab® scripts for their solution. Consequently, Volume 2 is a natural complement of the book Geotechnics of Roads: Fundamentals.
This unique book will be of value to civil, structural and geotechnical engineers worldwide.
Biographie de l'auteur
Bernardo Caicedo obtained his undergraduate degree in civil engineering at the Universidad del Cauca in Colombia in 1985. Because of his academic achievements, he received the Francisco José de Caldas Medal, which is only awarded about once one every 10 years. He did his doctoral work at L'Ecole Centrale de Paris in 1991 and at the Laboratoire Central des Ponts et Chaussées in Paris.
He joined the "Universidad de los Andes, Uniandes" in Colombia in 1991. He have been involved in teaching, research and administrative duties here for around 29 years now. During his first period at Uniandes, his research focused on bringing the laboratory to a high standard of international competitiveness. This effort has met with relatively good success. One example of this work was the design and construction, under his leadership, of two geotechnical centrifuges used for teaching and research. One of these machines is equipped with an environmental chamber including leading technologies to simulate climate in experiments using the centrifuge. Other major laboratory apparatus designed and constructed under his direction were a large hollow cylinder apparatus, a linear test track for physical modeling of pavements, a 60 ton shaking table.
His research activities cover a broad spectrum of areas in geotechnical engineering. They include studies of soil dynamics, unsaturated soils, physical modeling of unsaturated soils (expansive and collapsing soils), study of the behavior of unbound granular materials for pavements, the development of new pavement design methods based on mechanistic concepts with climatic interactions, and the study of the mechanical behavior of multi-phase soils (unsaturated soils) including chemical (chemo-mechanics) and biological aspects. His efforts to develop laboratory facilities has allowed him to publish several documents: at present, he has published more than 200 documents including 2 books, 65 papers in indexed journals, 5 keynote lectures, 89 papers in reviewed international conferences, 12 in other international conferences, and 51 in local conferences. Bernardo Caicedo is member of the editorial panel of two international journals: Transportation Geotechnics (Elsevier) and Acta Geotechnica. In addition, he is member of the board of the TC202 committee (Transportation Geotechnics) and vice chair of the TC 106 committee (Unsaturated Soils) of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering ISSMGE.
Bernardo Caicedo has received several awards from The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE): the Telford Premium in 2016, the Geotechnical Research Medal in 2018 and the Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya Award in 2020.Note de contenu : Bibliog;

The spread of this term, and of mechatronics itself, has been growing in the years, including new aspects and disciplines, like control engineering, computer engineering and communication/information engineering.
Nowadays mechatronics has a well-defined and fundamental role, in strict relation with robotics. Drawing a sharp border between mechatronics and robotics is impossible, as they share many technologies and objectives. Advanced robots could be defined as mechatronic devices equipped with a “smart brain”, but there are also up-to-date mechatronic devices, used in tight interaction with humans, that are governed by smart architectures (for example, for safety purposes).
Aim of this book is to offer a wide overview of new research trends and challenges for both mechatronics and robotics, through the contribution of researchers from different institutions, providing their view on specific subjects they consider as “hot topics” in both fields, with attention to new fields of application, new challenges to the research communities and new technologies available.
The reader of this book will enjoy the various contributions, as they have been prepared with actual applications in mind, along a journey from advanced actuators and sensors to human-robot interaction, through robot control, navigation, planning and programming issues. The book presents several state-of-the-art solutions, like multiple-stage actuation to cope with conflicting specification of large motion-spans, ultra-high accuracy, model-based control for high-tech mechatronic systems, modern approaches of software systems engineering to robotics, aand humanoids for human assistance. The reader can also find new techniques in approaching the design of mechatronic systems in some possible industrial and service robotics scenarios, with a particular attention for the interaction between humans and mechanisms.

Simultaneously, huge progress has been achieved in microscopy. These circumstances underline the need for a reference that delineates the differences of various types of nanostructures in multiphase polymer-based materials. Multiphase Polymer-Based Materials: An Atlas of Phase Morphology at the Nano and Micro Scale presents up-to-date coverage of developments in this field in a practical and easy to use format.
Illustrates Microscopic Tools for Phase Morphology Investigation
The author sifted through an encyclopedic amount of information to provide a selection of more than 550 microscopy pictures resulting from the observation of multiphase polymer-based materials. These illustrations include micro and nanopolymer blends, micro and nanocomposites, micro and nano phases in copolymers, thermosets, and thermoplastic blends that were intensively developed over the past decade. Each picture includes a detailed explanation of how to attain these materials, how the samples were prepared, and how the observations were conducted.
A Practical Straightforward Approach to Microscopic Observation
The book examines the various microscopic tools employed for the investigation of the phase morphology, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each. It provides a practical, straightforward approach for dealing with the microscopic observation of phase morphology in multicomponent polymer blends and nanocomposites.

Simultaneously, huge progress has been achieved in microscopy. These circumstances underline the need for a reference that delineates the differences of various types of nanostructures in multiphase polymer-based materials. Multiphase Polymer-Based Materials: An Atlas of Phase Morphology at the Nano and Micro Scale presents up-to-date coverage of developments in this field in a practical and easy to use format.
Illustrates Microscopic Tools for Phase Morphology Investigation
The author sifted through an encyclopedic amount of information to provide a selection of more than 550 microscopy pictures resulting from the observation of multiphase polymer-based materials. These illustrations include micro and nanopolymer blends, micro and nanocomposites, micro and nano phases in copolymers, thermosets, and thermoplastic blends that were intensively developed over the past decade. Each picture includes a detailed explanation of how to attain these materials, how the samples were prepared, and how the observations were conducted.
A Practical Straightforward Approach to Microscopic Observation
The book examines the various microscopic tools employed for the investigation of the phase morphology, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each. It provides a practical, straightforward approach for dealing with the microscopic observation of phase morphology in multicomponent polymer blends and nanocomposites.
