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 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...

This book gathers papers presented at the international workshop PMSDAM’19. The respective contributions offer valuable insights for researchers working on numerical solutions to advanced materials problems. The problems concerning the remineralization of teeth are considered. Of particular interest are articles exploring topics at the interface of different disciplines.

This book commemorates the 80th birthday of Prof. W. Pietraszkiewicz, a prominent specialist in the field of general shell theory. Reflecting Prof. Pietraszkiewicz’s focus, the respective papers address a range of current problems in the theory of shells. In addition, they present other structural mechanics problems involving dimension-reduced models. Lastly, several applications are discussed, including material models for such dimension-reduced structures.

This book is published on dedication of Prof. Dr. Igor Sevostianov who passed away in 2021. He was a great Russian-American scientist who made significant contributions in the field of mechanics of heterogeneous media. This book contains research papers from his friends and colleagues in this research field.

This cinematic horror anthology plunges you into the dark web, where encrypted nightmares bleed into waking life. Perfect for a tense, suspenseful commute or late-night listening, these ten terrifying tales explore what happens when human loneliness and morbid curiosity unlock forbidden digital doors.What begins as grounded internet lore—illicit red rooms and underground forums—quickly spirals into an unsettling, paranoid descent into the uncanny. As characters chase thrills and es...

This book offers a current image of modern mechanics. The book reflects current state of the art in the field of continuum mechanics and mechanics of structures including recent achievements in classic and non-classic approaches. The chapters are written by leading specialist in the field, so the book collects cutting edge investigations in the field. As a target we consider the society starting from beginners, i.e. master and PhD students, and also leaders in the field, that is professors...

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...
