DOWNLOAD EBOOKInternational Series of Monographs in Aeronautics and Astronautics, Division 1: Solid and Structural Mechanics, Volume 8: The Design of Structures of Least Weight focuses on the design of structures. This book reviews the considerations that determine the minimal structure weight and illustrates how these considerations may be expected to influence design. Topics discussed include the theory in design, structure loading coefficients and struts, wide struts, panels, and design of beams to transmit pure bending. The design of cantilevers, detail design of braced frames, basic theory of layout, and layout in practical design are also deliberated in this publication. This volume is recommended for design engineers and specialists intending to acquire knowledge of design structures of least weight.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book traces the evolution of theory of structures and strength of materials - the development of the geometrical thinking of the Renaissance to become the fundamental engineering science discipline rooted in classical mechanics. Starting with the strength experiments of Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo, the author examines the emergence of individual structural analysis methods and their formation into theory of structures in the 19th century. For the first time, a book of this kind outlines the development from classical theory of structures to the structural mechanics and computational mechanics of the 20th century. In doing so, the author has managed to bring alive the differences between the players with respect to their engineering and scientific profiles and personalities, and to create an understanding for the social context. Brief insights into common methods of analysis, backed up by historical details, help the reader gain an understanding of the history of structural mechanics from the standpoint of modern engineering practice. A total of 175 brief biographies of important personalities in civil and structural engineering as well as structural mechanics plus an extensive bibliography round off this work.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDas Werk liefert eine einheitliche Darstellung der Baustatik auf der Grundlage der Technischen Mechanik. Es behandelt Stab- und Flächentragwerke nach der Elastizitäts- und Plastizitätstheorie. Es betont den geschichtlichen Hintergrund und den Bezug zur praktischen Ingenieurtätigkeit und dokumentiert erstmals in umfassender Weise die spezielle Schule, die sich in den letzten 50 Jahren an der ETH in Zürich herausgebildet hat. Als Lehrbuch enthält das Werk viele durchgearbeitete Beispiele und Aufgaben zum vertieften Studium. Die einzelnen Kapitel werden durch Zusammenfassungen abgeschlossen, welche die wichtigsten Lehrinhalte in prägnanter Form hervorheben. Die verwendeten Fachausdrücke sind in einem Anhang definiert. Als Nachschlagewerk enthält das Buch ein umfassendes Stichwortverzeichnis. Die Gliederung des Inhalts und Hervorhebungen im Text erleichtern die Übersicht. Bezeichnungen, Werkstoff- und Querschnittswerte sowie Abrisse der Matrizenalgebra, der Tensorrechnung und der Variationsrechnung sind in Anhängen zusammengefasst. Insgesamt richtet sich das Buch als Grundlagenwerk an Studierende und Lehrende ebenso wie an Bauingenieure in der Praxis. Es bezweckt, seine Leser zu einer sinnvollen Modellierung und Behandlung von Tragwerken zu befähigen und sie bei den unter ihrer Verantwortung vorgenommenen Projektierungs- und Überprüfungsarbeiten von Tragwerken zu unterstützen.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe design of many structures such as pressure vessels, aircrafts, bridge decks, dome roofs, and missiles is based on the theories of plates and shells. The degree of simplification needed to adopt the theories to the design of various structures depends on the type of structure and the re quired accuracy of the results. Hence, a water storage tank can be satis factorily designed using the membrane shell theory, which disregards all bending moments, whereas the design of a missile casing requires a more precise analysis in order to minimize weight and materials. Similarly, the design of a nozzle-to-cylinder junction in a nuclear reactor may require a sophisticated finite element analysis to prevent fatigue failure while the same junction in an air accumulator in a gas station is designed by simple equations that satisfy equilibrium conditions. Accordingly, this book is written for engineers interested in the theories of plates and shells and their proper application to various structures. The examples given throughout the book subsequent to derivation of various theories are intended to show the engineer the level of analysis required to achieve a safe design with a given degree of accuracy. The book covers three general areas. These are: bending of plates; membrane and bending theories of shells; and buckling of plates and shells. Bending of plates is discussed in five chapters. Chapters 1 and 2 cover rectangular plates with various boundary and loading conditions.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOrganization Structures: Theory and Design, Analysis and Prescription describes how to organize people to achieve a desired outcome. This is accomplished by establishing sets of rules from "real world" organization contexts. Moreover, the development of these rules within "real world" contexts means that the rules must be true, general, operational, technically sound, and easy to use. With an understanding of rules and the processes of their use, organization structures can be identified, which in turn form the basis of a theoretical framework. This book discusses, examines, and demonstrates the interrelationship of the design rules, their theoretical use within these organization structures, along with their practical implications. Throughout the book, an extended example of the Masters Brewing Corporation (MBC) is used to illustrate the conceptual material and to make the implications of the organizational analysis explicitly concrete.
