Phenomenological Creep Models of Composites and Nanomaterials Deterministic and Probabilistic Approach

Phenomenological Creep Models of Composites and Nanomaterials Deterministic and Probabilistic Approach

The use of new engineering materials in the aerospace and space industry is usually governed by the need for enhancing the bearing capacity of structural elements and systems improving the performance of specific applications reducing structural weight and improving its cost-effectiveness. Crystalline composites and nanomaterials are used to design lightweight structural elements because such materials provide stiffness strength and low density/weight. This book reviews the effect of high temperature creep on structural system response and provides new phenomenological creep models (deterministic and probabilistic approach) of composites and nanomaterials. Certain criteria have been used in selecting the creep functions in order to describe a wide range of different behavior of materials. The experimental testing and evaluation of time variant creep in composite and nanomaterials is quite complex expensive and at times time consuming. Therefore the analytical analysis of creep properties and behavior of structural elements made of composite and nanocomposite materials subjected to severe thermal loadings conditions is of great practical importance. Composite elements and heterogeneous materials from which they are made make essential changes to the classical scheme for constructing the phenomenological creep model of composite elements because it reflects the specificity of the composite material and manifests itself in the choice of two basic functions of the creep constitutive equation namely memory and instantaneous modulus of elasticity functions. As such the concepts and analytical techniques presented here are important. But the principal objective of this book is to demonstrate how nonlinear viscoelastic engineering creep theory can be incorporated into the general theory of mechanics of materials so that composite components can be designed and analyzed. The results are supported by step-by-step practical structural design examples and will be useful for structural engineers code developers as well as material science researchers and university faculty. The phenomenological creep models presented in this book provide a usable engineering approximation for many applications in composite engineering. | Phenomenological Creep Models of Composites and Nanomaterials Deterministic and Probabilistic Approach

Post-Tensioned Concrete Floors

Post-Tensioned Concrete Floors

Post-tensioning is the most versatile form of pre-stressing a technique which enables engineers to make the most effective use of the material properties of concrete and so to design structural elements which are strong slender and efficient. Design in post-tensioned concrete is not difficult and if done properly can contribute significantly to the economy and the aesthetic qualities of a building. Post-tensioned floors have found widespread use in office buildings and car park structures and are also frequently employed in warehouses and public buildings. However in spite of this most prestressed concrete texts devote comparatively little attention to floors concentrating instead on beam elements. This book answers the need for a comprehensive treatment of post-tensioned floor design. | Post-Tensioned Concrete Floors

Process Safety Key Concepts and Practical Approaches

Process Safety Key Concepts and Practical Approaches

Effective process safety programs consist of three interrelated foundations—safety culture and leadership process safety systems and operational discipline—designed to prevent serious injuries and incidents resulting from toxic releases fires explosions and uncontrolled reactions. Each of these foundations is important and one missing element can cause poor process safety performance. Process Safety: Key Concepts and Practical Approaches takes a systemic approach to the traditional process safety elements that have been identified for effective process safety programs. More effective process safety risk reduction efforts are achieved when these process safety systems based on desired activities and results rather than by specific elements are integrated and organized in a systems framework. This book provides key concepts practical approaches and tools for establishing and maintaining effective process safety programs to successfully identify evaluate and manage process hazards. It introduces process safety systems in a way that helps readers understand the purpose design and everyday use of overall process safety system requirements. Understanding what the systems are intended to achieve understanding why they have been designed and implemented in a specific way and understanding how they should function day-to-day is essential to ensure continued safe and reliable operations. | Process Safety Key Concepts and Practical Approaches

Building Acoustics

Building Acoustics

Building or architectural acoustics is taken in this book to cover all aspects of sound and vibration in buildings. The book covers room acoustics but the main emphasis is on sound insulation and sound absorption and the basic aspects of noise and vibration problems connected to service equipment and external sources. Measuring techniques connected to these fields are also brought in. It is designed for advanced level engineering studies and is also valuable as a guide for practitioners and acoustic consultants who need to fulfil the demands of building regulations. It gives emphasis to the acoustical performance of buildings as derived from the performance of the elements comprising various structures. Consequently the physical aspects of sound transmission and absorption need to be understood and the main focus is on the design of elements and structures to provide high sound insulation and high absorbing power. Examples are taken from all types of buildings. The book aims at giving an understanding of the physical principles involved and three chapters are therefore devoted to vibration phenomena and sound waves in fluids and solid media. Subjective aspects connected to sound and sound perception is sufficiently covered by other books; however the chapter on room acoustics includes descriptions of measures that quantify the acoustic quality of rooms for speech and music. | Building Acoustics

Alcohol Drugs and Impaired Driving Forensic Science and Law Enforcement Issues

Alcohol Drugs and Impaired Driving Forensic Science and Law Enforcement Issues

Alcohol Drugs and Impaired Driving addresses many theoretical and practical issues related to the role played by alcohol and other psychoactive drugs on driving performance road-traffic safety and public health. Several key forensic issues are involved in the enforcement of laws regulating driving under the influence of alcohol and/or other drugs including analytical toxicology pharmacology of drug action as well as the relationships between dose taken concentration levels in the body and impairment of performance and behavior. Our knowledge of drunken driving is much more comprehensive than drugged driving so a large part of this book is devoted to alcohol impairment as well as impairment caused by use of drugs other than alcohol. For convenience the book is divided into four main sections. The first section gives some historical background about measuring alcohol in blood and breath as evidence for the prosecution of traffic offenders. The important role of the Breathalyzer instrument in traffic-law enforcement especially in Australia Canada and the USA is presented along with a biographical sketch of its inventor (Professor Robert F. Borkenstein of Indiana University) with focus on the man his work and his impact. The second section discusses several issues related to forensic blood and breath-alcohol alcohol analysis as evidence for prosecution of traffic offenders. This includes how the results should be interpreted in relation to impairment and an evaluation of common defense challenges. Because most countries have adopted concentration per se laws the main thrust of the prosecution case is the suspect’s measured blood- or breath-alcohol concentration. This legal framework necessitates that the analytical methods used are fit for purpose and are subjected to rigorous quality assurance procedures. The third section gives a broad overview of the current state of knowledge about driving under the influence of non-alcohol drugs in various countries. This includes adoption of zero-tolerance laws concentration per se statutes and clinical evidence of driver impairment based on field sobriety tests and drug recognition expert evidence. The fourth section deals with epidemiology enforcement and countermeasures aimed at reducing the threat of drunken and drugged driving. All articles have appeared previously in the international journal Forensic Science Review but all are completely updated with current data references and the latest research on developments since the articles were published. This book contains a convenient collection of the best articles covering recommendations for blood and breath testing methods public policy relating to such methods and forensic and legal implications of the enforcement of measures to counter driving under the influence. | Alcohol Drugs and Impaired Driving Forensic Science and Law Enforcement Issues
