Download or read book Design and Computation of Modern Engineering Materials written by Andreas Öchsner and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of this monograph is to present the latest results related to design and computation of engineering materials and structures. The contributions cover the classical fields of mechanical, civil and materials engineering up to biomechanics and advanced materials processing and optimization. The materials and structures covered can be categorized into modern steels and titanium alloys, composite materials, biological and natural materials, material hybrids and modern joining technologies. Analytical modelling, numerical simulation, the application of state-of-the-art design tools and sophisticated experimental techniques are applied to characterize the performance of materials and to design and optimize structures in different fields of engineering applications.
