The old stories never disappeared; they're waiting for us to discover them anew.A banshee imprisoned for two centuries is freed by a child's curious hand and she wants revenge. A boy hides inside a carriage made of human skin as the Dullahan carries him toward the land of the dead. An American tourist ignores a warning about the hungry grass on Slieve Gullion and never makes it home. A laundrette becomes the site of a death omen when a dead mother appears, washing ...

The book presents mathematical and mechanical aspects of the theory of plates and shells, applications in civil, aero-space and mechanical engineering, as well in other areas. The focus relates to the following problems:• comprehensive review of the most popular theories of plates and shells,• relations between three-dimensional theories and two-dimensional ones,• presentation of recently developed new refined plates and shells theories (for example, the micropolar ...

This volume is dedicated to the sixtieth birthday of Prof. Alexey Porubov and contains a selection of scientific papers prepared by papers by his friends and colleagues from different countries. It is devoted to actual research in dynamics considering discrete and continuum models of continuum and structures. It includes microstructures modeling the behavior of materials and offers new theoretical approaches in dynamics with applications. There has been rapid development in the field of co...

This book provides an overview of the current of the state of the art in the multiscale mechanics of solids and structures. It comprehensively discusses new materials, including theoretical and experimental investigations their durability and strength, as well as fractures and damage

This book presents the theoretical and experimental foundations of quasi-static deformation of elastoplastic and viscoplastic materials and structural elements made of them. Experimental studies of deformation and fracture of materials under complex loading under impulse influences are described and discussed. A short introduction of theoretical and numerical methods for studying the stress–strain state of elastoplastic structural elements under dynamic, impulse loading and their interacti...
