Out-of-Plane Vibrations of Plane Frames
The frame vibrations studied in Chaps. 3 to 5 are for in-plane vibrations. If a plane frame acted upon by a force or horizontal ground vibration in...

Conical Shells of Linearly Varying Thickness Subjected to Normal Loads
The equilibrium equations for a surface element of a conical shell in the framework of generalized plane stress of linear theory of elasticity are...

Vibrations of X-Braced Multi-Story Frames
The study of vibrations for the x-braced portal frames in the last chapter is extended to high-rise x-braced multi-story frames in this chapter....

Vibrations of Frames with Inclined Members
The model established for the vibration of the inclined bars in the last chapter now is applied to two- and three-bar frames with inclined members.

Optical Techniques for Local Measurement
Optical measurement techniques are well suited to many heat transfer problems, insofar as they are non-contact and generally non-invasive. Far-field...

Molecular Dynamics
The aim in this Chapter is to show how molecular dynamics can be used to study conductive heat transfer in matter in terms of an atomic description...

Solution of the Boltzmann Equationfor Phonon Transport
We discuss two popular methods for solving the radiative transfer equation in the field of thermal radiation, which can be used to calculate...

A Boundary-Layer Solution Verified by Buckling of a Rectangular Plate
The so called edge-zone or boundary-layer solutions are widely used in large dediection problems of thin elastic plates [20,35,36] and shells...

Inclined Girders with End Constraint Subjected to Normal Loads
A two-bar truss subjected to lateral normal distributed loads as shown in Fig. 9.1 represents a double leaf miter-type gate used in navigation locks...
-
Laws of Macroscopic Heat Transferand Their Limits
In this introductory text, we examine the three mechanisms of heat transfer. For each one, we review the main ideas used in the traditional...

Investigation of Short-Time Heat Transfer Effects by an Optical Pump–Probe Method
The study of heat transfer properties on micro- and nanoscales generally requires one to work on time scales ranging between a few picoseconds and a...

Radiative Transfer on Short Length Scales
Heat transfer of radiative origin is treated classically by the transport equation of a phenomenological quantity called the specific intensity (see...
-
Two Methods for Analysis of Continuum Mechanics of Elastic Structures
There are two basic methods to analyze the continuum elastic structural mechanics: One is by applying Newton’s law of motion to a free body element...

Vibrations of Inclined Bars with End Constraint
Considered are the vibrations of inclined bars with the bottom end flxed in space and the top end having a constraint which requires that this end...

Buckling of Inclined Columns
The stability of a simple truss subjected to a single force, P, as shown in Fig. 8.1 was investigated by Mises [40] as a basic model to illustrate...
