Whether it's online, on TV, or in magazines, images of thin, beautiful-and often photo-shopped-young women are everywhere. As a result, you may feel an intense pressur[...]
"Finite Element Method for Engineers: From Theory to Practice", while emphasizing problems in solid mechanics with numerous examples, explains the theory in four fundamental steps with a flow chart to develop equations for the finite element models and the associated computer programs. The theory is[...]
The problem of stress corrosion cracking (SCC), which causes sudden failure of metals and other materials subjected to stress in corrosive environment(s), has a significant impact on a number of sectors including the oil and gas industries and nuclear power production.
