Mechanics of Materials $65.95 One of the most important subjects for any student of engineering or materials to master is the behaviour of materials and structures under load. The way in which they react to applied forces, the deflections resulting and the stresses and strains set up in the bodies concerned are all vital considerations when designing a mechanical component such that it will not fail under predicted load during its service lifetime. Building upon the fundamentals established in the introductory volume Mechanics of Materials 1, this book extends the scope of material covered into more complex areas such as unsymmetrical bending, loading and deflection of struts, rings, discs, cylinders plates, diaphragms and thin walled sections. There is a new treatment of the Finite Element Method of analysis, and more advanced topics such as contact and residual stresses, stress concentrations, fatigue, creep and fracture are also covered. Each chapter contains a summary of the essential formulae which are developed in the chapter, and a large number of worked examples which progress in level of difficulty as the principles are enlarged upon. In addition, each chapter concludes with an extensive selection of problems for solution by the student, mostly examination questions from professional and academic bodies, which are graded according to difficulty and furnished with answers at the end.

Prologue to Super Quantum Mechanics $33.49 Since its foundation more than eight decades ago, quantum mechanics has been plagued by numerous enigmas, mysteries and paradoxes. This strongly indicates that something is wrong with the quantum mechanics paradigm. The best scientific minds, such as Albert Einstein, Louis de Broglie, David Bohm, Richard Feynman and others have spent years of their professional lives attempting to find resolution to the quantum mechanics predicament, with no success.The Prologue is an introduction by Victor Vaguine of a new quantum mechanics paradigm which he calls Super Quantum Mechanics. He provides in an accessible, concise and entertaining way an analysis and criticism of prevailing quantum mechanics interpretations, such as the Copenhagen, Quantum Potential, and Many Worlds. Furthermore, Victor Vaguine ventures into cosmology by declaring intrinsic connections of Super Quantum Mechanics with the origin of the Universe through his original concept of absolute quantum entanglement at the pre-Big Bang state.Victor Vaguine declares that the inflationary multiverse theory is scientifically invalid and replaces it with a concept of Uni-Universe, a new term coined by the author.Based on three fundamental reasons, he rules out the superstring theory as a valid scientific theory.For the first time, new, advanced, original concepts in quantum mechanics and cosmology are presented in concise form.Although the book is written at a high scientific level, it has minimum mathematical formalism and is accessible for laypersons with intellectual curiosity.

Mechanics of Real Fluids $194 Fluid mechanics is one of the most major areas of successful applications of mathematics. It can be considered as one of branches of applied mathematics. Although fluid motion is concerned in both gas or liquids, as both of them are fluids, this book mainly deals with the motion of liquids in general, and water in particular. The theory of fluid mechanics has grown so considerably in recent years that study of the mechanics of fluids is important in many aspects of our real life.This book on an important area of applied mathematics is a compendium of the work of many pioneering authors and of research works from throughout the author’s career. It explains theory clearly and provides applications. It is intended to provide background for young scientists and graduate students as well as applied mathematicians and professional engineers. Some knowledge of vector calculus including the integral theorems such as Green’s theorem, Stokes’s theorem and divergence theorem is assumed on the part of the reader. Isotropic tensor calculus is used sparingly in some chapters. A familiarity with the Bessel functions, Legendre polynomials and hypergeometric functions is also expected.

Continuum Mechanics: Elasticity, Plasticity, Visoelasticity $150.85 Most books on continuum mechanics focus on elasticity and fluid mechanics. But whether student or practicing professional, modern engineers need a more thorough treatment to understand the behavior of the complex materials and systems in use today. Continuum Mechanics: Elasticity, Plasticity, Viscoelasticity offers a complete tour of the subject that includes not only elasticity and fluid mechanics but also covers plasticity, viscoelasticity, and the continuum model for fatigue and fracture mechanics. In addition to a broader scope, this book also supplies a review of the necessary mathematical tools and results for a self-contained treatment. The author provides finite element formulations of the equations encountered throughout the chapters and uses an approach with just the right amount of mathematical rigor without being too theoretical for practical use. Working systematically from the continuum model for the thermomechanics of materials, coverage moves through linear and nonlinear elasticity using both tensor and matrix notation, plasticity, viscoelasticity, and concludes by introducing the fundamentals of fracture mechanics and fatigue of metals. Requisite mathematical tools appear in the final chapter for easy reference. Continuum Mechanics: Elasticity, Plasticity, Viscoelasticity builds a strong understanding of the principles, equations, and finite element formulations needed to solve real engineering problems.
