"This book deals with the most recent numerical modeling of adhesive joints. Advances in damage mechanics and extended finite element method are described in the context of the finite element method with examples of application. The book also introduces the classical continuum mechanics and fracture mechanics approach and discusses the boundary element method and the finite difference method with indication of the cases they are most adapted to. At the moment there a no numerical technique that can solve any problem and the analyst needs to be aware of the limitations involved in each case."

"This textbook provides a step-by-step approach to numerical methods in engineering modelling. The authors provide a consistent treatment of the topic, from the ground up, to reinforce for students that numerical methods are a set of mathematical modelling tools which allow engineers to represent real-world systems and compute features of these systems with a predictable error rate. Each method presented addresses a specific type of problem, namely root-finding, optimization, integral, derivative, initial value problem, or boundary value problem, and each one encompasses a set of algorithms to solve the problem given some information and to a known error bound. The authors demonstrate that after developing a proper model and understanding of the engineering situation they are working on, engineers can break down a model into a set of specific mathematical problems, and then implement the appropriate numerical methods to solve these problems."

"ABSTRACTThe development and extension of large cities creates a need of multiple shallow tunnels in the soft ground of built areas. Excavating a tunnel generates ground displacements and deformations which can affect existing buildings and services in urban sites and can lead to unacceptable damages. Prediction of the ground settlement caused by the tunnel excavation has been a major engineering challenge. A numerical simulation using finite element method was implemented in the aim of developing a procedure for forecasting the movement induced by tunneling. This study describes the modelling procedure, comparing one procedure in a complete stages of modelling (called phases modelling) taking into account different phases simulating the different kinds of interaction between the tunnel and the soil (deconfinement, lining installation, pore pressure applied on the lining, and weight of the lining) and one in a simple way called `deconfinement modeling', simulating the excavation using a stress decrease vector exerted on the excavation boundary in the opposite to the initial ground stress described by a scalar parameter A. (the deconfinement rate). A shallow lined tunnel is analyzed in a two dimensional analyses, and observations are made for the settlement at the surface and at the tunnel crown, the deformations of the tunnel opening, and the stress path around the tunnel. Comparison is conducted using two soil models : the Mohr-Coulomb model and the CJS model. Observations of the results and comparison with the experimental data demonstrate that the deconfinement modeling is adequate for the analyses of settlement induced by tunneling only if a good modeling of the soil behavior is considered."

"This book presents new methods of numerical modelling of tube heat exchangers, which can be used to perform design and operation calculations of exchangers characterized by a complex flow system. It also proposes new heat transfer correlations for laminar, transition and turbulent flows. A large part of the book is devoted to experimental testing of heat exchangers, and methods for assessing the indirect measurement uncertainty are presented. Further, it describes a new method for parallel determination of the Nusselt number correlations on both sides of the tube walls based on the nonlinear least squares method and presents the application of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modeling to determine the air-side Nusselt number correlations. Lastly, it develops a control system based on the mathematical model of the car radiator and compares this with the digital proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. The book is intended for students, academics and researchers, as well as for designers and manufacturers of heat exchangers."

"Written by leading experts in the field, this book brings together the most recent concepts, advances, challenges and ideas associated with intelligent modelling and simulation frameworks, tools and applications. "

"This book arises as the natural continuation of the International Spring School "Advances and challenges in space-time modelling of natural events," which took place in Toledo (Spain) in March 2010. This Spring School above all focused on young researchers (Master students, PhD students and post-doctoral researchers) in academics, extra-university research and the industry who are interested in learning about recent developments, new methods and applications in spatial statistics and related areas, and in exchanging ideas and findings with colleagues."

"It is commonly accepted that the majority of engineering failures happen due to fatigue or fracture phenomena. Adhesive bonding is a prevailing joining technique, widely used for critical connections in composite structures. However, the lack of knowledge regarding fatigue and fracture behaviour, and the shortage of tools for credible fatigue design, hinders the potential benefits of adhesively bonded joints. The demand for reliable and safe structures necessitates deep knowledge in this area in order to avoid catastrophic structural failures.This book reviews recent research in the field of fatigue and fracture of adhesively-bonded composite joints. The first part of the book discusses the experimental investigation of the reliability of adhesively-bonded composite joints, current research on understanding damage mechanisms, fatigue and fracture, durability and ageing as well as implications for design. The second part of the book covers the modelling of bond performance and failure mechanisms in different loading conditions."
