Engineering Mechanics: Proceedings of the 11th Conference

by Y.K. Lin (Editor), T.C. Su (Editor)

A two-volume set comprising the proceedings of the Eleventh Engineering Mechanics Conference, held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, May 1996. Compiling nearly 300 contributions, the set includes three keynote papers addressing new trends in biomechanics, basic concepts and application of structural control, and recent advances in environmental fluid mechanics. Summary papers include those of three symposia (poroelasticity, smart structures, and computational geomechanics). The rest of the papers cover mechanics in life sciences; turbulence; fluid structure interaction; granular flow; stochastic mechanics; system identification; soil-structure interaction; nondestructive evaluation of bridges and infrastructures; retrofitting and health monitoring of structures; damage and failure of composites; reinforced concrete and other engineering materials; modeling of material with discontinuities and heterogeneities; and mechanics of plates shells and beams.
