Bailly: Materials & Structures under Shock & Impact

In risk studies, engineers often have to consider the consequences of an accident leading to a shock on a construction. This can concern the impact of a ground vehicle or aircraft, or the effects of an explosion on an industrial site.

This book presents a didactic approach starting with the theoretical elements of the mechanics of materials and structures, in order to develop their applications in the cases of shocks and impacts. The latter are studied on a local scale at first. They lead to stresses and strains in the form of waves propagating through the material, this movement then extending to the whole of the structure.

The first part of the book is devoted to the study of solid dynamics where nonlinear behaviors come into play. The second part covers structural dynamics and the evaluation of the transient response introduced at the global scale of a construction. Practical methods, simplified methods and methods that are in current use by engineers are also proposed throughout the book.

The aim of this book is to present theoretical elements regarding solids and structures, as well as modeling tools in order to study the vulnerability of a structure to a short duration action, generally of accidental nature. The book takes the point of view of an engineer seeking for the modeling of the physics at stake to relevantly carry out his study. The book originality is that it gathers elements from various fields of engineering sciences, for the purpose of a practical objective.

Bathias: Fatigue Limit in Metals

Is there a fatigue limit in metals? This question is the main focus of this book. Written by a leading researcher in the field, Claude Bathias presents a thorough and authoritative examination of the coupling between plasticity, crack initiation and heat dissipation for lifetimes that exceed the billion cycle, leading us to question the concept of the fatigue limit, both theoretically and technologically. 

This new, up-to-date text supplements the book Fatigue of Materials and Structures, which had been previously published by ISTE and John Wiley in 2011. A thorough review of coupling between plasticity, crack priming, and thermal dissipation for lifespans higher than a billion of cycle has led us to question the concept of fatigue limit, from both the theoretical and technological point of view. This book will address that and more.

Douglas: Introduction to Materials Science & Engineering: A Guided Inquiry

This unique textbook is designed to serve as an active learning tool that uses carefully selected information and guided inquiry questions. Guided inquiry helps students reach true understanding of concepts as they develop greater ownership over the material presented. First, background information or data is presented. Then, concept invention questions lead the students to construct their own understanding of the fundamental concepts represented. Finally, application questions provide the students with practice in solving problems using the concepts that they have derived from their own valid conclusions.

Key Features

• An active learning tool with carefully selected information. You’ll notice this textbook is slimmer than your average textbook. Students do not need to be told every detail about every topic, but they do need to learn the fundamental concepts. The focus of this book is on enabling students to actively engage in the content, struggle with the concepts, and ultimately discover those concepts for themselves.
• Guided inquiry helps students use their own valid conclusions to understand concepts–as opposed to having it simply told to them. This book can be used in many ways, but was written based on the approach of Process-Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning™ (POGIL), where students work in small groups on specially designed guided inquiry questions. To make sure that students understand the important concepts, they are guided through the information by answering 3 types of specific guided inquiry questions:
• Exploration questions ask students to find information that is already presented in the text, or that they can answer from common knowledge.
• Concept Invention questions ask students to use the answers from the exploration questions to figure out a general concept or approach to solving a problem. These are the key questions of every chapter, because this is where the discovery occurs.
• Application questions help students practice using the concepts.
• Additional features will help students master the material.
• Concept Checks test students’ understanding of key points. Answers to the Concept Checks are in the back of the book.
• Example Problems help students understand how to apply the concepts. Some of the example problems include hints that will help when they have to solve similar problems.
• Application Spotlights show how some of the concepts and ideas are actually used in engineering, with an emphasis on issues related to the environment.

Mamlouk: Materials for Civil & Construction Engineers 3rd Edition

This introduction gives students a basic understanding of the material selection process and the behavior of materials — a fundamental requirement for all civil and construction engineers performing design, construction, and maintenance. The authors cover the various materials used by civil and construction engineers in one useful reference, limiting the vast amount of information available to the introductory level, concentrating on current practices, and extracting information that is relevant to the general education of civil and construction engineers. A large number of experiments, figures, sample problems, test methods, and homework problems gives students opportunity for practice and review.

Key Features

• This text limits the vast amount of information available on civil and construction engineering to an introductory level, concentrates on current practices, and extracts information that is relevant to the general education of civil and construction engineers. The text is organized into three parts:
• Introduction to Materials Engineering: The first section introduces the basic mechanistic properties of materials, environmental influences, basic material classes, and the atomic structure of materials.
• Characteristics of Materials Used in Civil and Construction Engineering: The second section, which represents a large portion of the book, presents the characteristics of the primary material types used in civil and construction engineering: steel, aluminum, aggregate, concrete, masonry, asphalt, wood, and composites.
• Laboratory Methods for the Evaluation of Materials: The third part of the book is a lab manual that includes typical experiments performed by students at this level.
• The discussion of each type of material includes information on the following:
• Basic structure of the materials.
• Material production process.
• Mechanistic behavior of the material and other properties.
• Environmental influences.
• Construction considerations.
• Special topics related to the material discussed in each chapter.
• Each chapter includes an overview of various test procedures to introduce the test methods used with each material.
• A large number of figures display concepts and equipment.
• Numerous sample problems and homework problems in each chapter enable professors to vary assignments between semesters.
• A number of laboratory test methods are described. The number of laboratory tests in the book is more than what is needed in a typical semester in order to provide more flexibility to the instructor to use the available equipment.
• A complete set of slides and a solution manual are available to instructors.
