Annotation This collection of 33 papers from the August 2002 conference addresses thermal-hydraulic problems in vessels, piping, and components; sloshing and fluid-structure interaction; and structures under extreme loading conditions. Among the topics are a case study of a valve failure due to condensation induced waterhammer, an evaluation of shutdown cooling transients using simplified models, the behavior of chimney walls when submitted to an internal explosion, and modeling of munitions fragmentation and interaction with shielding systems. No subject index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).

This important, self-contained reference deals with structural life assessment (SLA) and structural health monitoring (SHM) in a combined form. SLA periodically evaluates the state and condition of a structural system and provides recommendations for possible maintenance actions or the end of structural service life. It is a diversified field and relies on the theories of fracture mechanics, fatigue damage process, and reliability theory. For common structures, their life assessment is not only governed by the theory of fracture mechanics and fatigue damage process, but by other factors such as corrosion, grounding, and sudden collision. On the other hand, SHM deals with the detection, prediction, and location of crack development online. Both SLA and SHM are combined in a unified and coherent treatment.
