Book Synopsis Scaling of Structural Strength by : Z. P. Bažant
Download or read book Scaling of Structural Strength written by Z. P. Bažant and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questions of size effect and scaling on the integrity of structures have been around since at least the time of Leonardo da Vinci. Bazant (civil engineering and materials science, Northwestern U.) sketches the history of size effect studies before exploring size effect on fracture and crack mechanics in a number of materials. He explores applications of the known size effect law for the measurement of material fracture properties and the modeling of the size effect by the cohesive crack model, nonlocal finite element models, and discrete element models. Applications to quasibrittle materials, including concrete, fiber composites, sea ice, rocks, and ceramics are presented. The role of size effect in some famous structural catastrophes is then examined. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

Book Synopsis Mechanical Properties and Deformation Behavior of Materials Having Ultra-Fine Microstructures by : Michael Anthony Nastasi
Download or read book Mechanical Properties and Deformation Behavior of Materials Having Ultra-Fine Microstructures written by Michael Anthony Nastasi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1993 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the emerging class of new materials characterized by ultra-fine microstrucures. The NATO ASI which produced this book was the first international scientific meeting devoted to a discussion of the mechanical properties and deformation behavior of materials having grain sizes down to a few nanometers. Topics covered include superplasticity, tribology, and the supermodulus effect. Review chapters cover a variety of other themes including synthesis, characterization, thermodynamic stability, and general physical properties. Much of the work is concerned with the issue of how far conventional techniques and concepts can be extended toward atomic scale probing. Another key issue concerns the structure of nanocrystalline materials, in particular, what is the structure and composition of the internal boundaries. These ultra-fine microstructures have proved to challenge even the finest probes that the materials science community has today.
Book Synopsis The Kiloparsec-Scale Structure and Kinematics of High-Redshift Star-Forming Galaxies by : David R. Law
Download or read book The Kiloparsec-Scale Structure and Kinematics of High-Redshift Star-Forming Galaxies written by David R. Law and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2008-09 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study the spatially resolved properties of star-forming galaxies at redshift z 2 - 3 on scales 1 kpc using a combination of morphological and kinematic analyses in an effort to characterize the major mechanisms of galaxy formation in the young universe. Using a sample of 216 galaxies which have been spectroscopically confirmed to lie between redshifts z = 1.8 - 3.4 in the GOODS-N field we demonstrate that rest-UV morphology (as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope) is statistically uncorrelated with physical properties such as star formation rate and is therefore unable to support the hypothesis that the prevalence of irregular morphologies indicates a high major merger fraction. Further, we present a sample of 13 galaxies observed with the OSIRIS integral field spectrograph and the Keck laser-guide star adaptive optics system which demonstrate the prevalence of high velocity dispersions 80 km/s and generally little in the way of spatially resolved velocity gradients, inconsistent with favored rotating disk models. We discuss the implications of these results for galaxy formation models, including gas accretion via cold flows and gravitational instability of early gas-rich galactic disks. There is some evidence for a trend towards stronger rotational signatures in galaxies with more massive stellar populations.

Book Synopsis Multi-Scale Modeling of Structural Concrete by : Koichi Maekawa
Download or read book Multi-Scale Modeling of Structural Concrete written by Koichi Maekawa and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2008-11-28 with total page 670 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increases in computer power have now enabled engineers to combine materials science with structural mechanics in the design and the assessment of concrete structures. The techniques developed have become especially useful for the performance assessment of such structures under coupled mechanistic and environmental actions. This allows effective management of infrastructure over a much longer life cycle, thus satisfying the requirements for durability and sustainability. This ground-breaking new book draws on the fields of materials and structural mechanics in an integrated way to address the questions of management and maintenance. It proposes a realistic way of simulating both constituent materials and structural responses under external loading and under ambient conditions. Where the research literature discusses component or element technology related to performance assessment, this book uniquely covers the subject at the level of the whole system including soil foundation, showing engineers how to model changes in concrete structures over time and how to use this for decision making in infrastructure maintenance and asset management.
Download or read book Scaling of Structural Failure written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article attempts to review the progress achieved in the understanding of scaling and size effect in the failure of structures. Particular emphasis is placed on quasibrittle materials for which the size effect is complicated. Attention is focused on three main types of size effects, namely the statistical size effect due to randomness of strength, the energy release size effect, and the possible size effect due to fractality of fracture or microcracks. Definitive conclusions on the applicability of these theories are drawn. Subsequently, the article discusses the application of the known size effect law for the measurement of material fracture properties, and the modeling of the size effect by the cohesive crack model, nonlocal finite element models and discrete element models. Extensions to compression failure and to the rate-dependent material behavior are also outlined. The damage constitutive law needed for describing a microcracked material in the fracture process zone is discussed. Various applications to quasibrittle materials, including concrete, sea ice, fiber composites, rocks and ceramics are presented.

Book Synopsis Concrete Model Analysis of Structural Elements Developing Strength Reduction Concepts by : John M. Ferrito
Download or read book Concrete Model Analysis of Structural Elements Developing Strength Reduction Concepts written by John M. Ferrito and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dimensional analysis develops the scale factors for direct and strength-reduction models. A method is presented for designing model concretes suitable for use in small-scale models that will produce strength characteristics essentially the same as prototype concrete. Bond strength of model concrete reinforcement was studied, and an apparatus was developed to put deformations in wire. Pullout tests were conducted to evaluate the bond strength developed by laboratory-deformed wires. To develop the concepts of strength-reduction modeling, a series of beam tests was conducted. These tests revealed that models will accurately reproduce prototype failure modes and ultimate strengths. The accuracy of strains and deflections depends on the significance of distortion in the model. The shear strength of the model was found to be dependent upon the square root of the ultimate concrete compressive stress; strength scale factors should be applied to the square root value. Further tests involved columns, prestressed beams, and flat slabs. (Author).
