Books by Keyword: Reliability of Structures

Description: The present Special Issue contains a selection of papers presented at the 22^nd International Conference on Engineering Mechanics, which has been held in Svratka resort in Czech Republic under auspices of the Czech Society of Mechanics and being a part of IFTOMM (The International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science) activities. As it corresponds with character of the conference, this Special Issue consists of several topic oriented parts: Linear and Nonlinear Dynamics and Stability, Aeroelasticity, Hydroelasticity and Fluid Mechanics, Biomechanics, Fracture Mechanics, Mechatronics, Reliability of Structures, Mechanics of Solids, Thermomechanics. The volume represents a well-balanced overview of theoretical, numerical and experimental work on fundamental and applied studies.

Description: Collection of selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2nd International Conference on Structural and Physical Aspects of Civil Engineering (SPACE-2013), November 27-29, 2013, High Tatras, Slovakia.
The main aim of the book are:
1. Static and dynamic analysis of structures,
2. Seismic and stability problems of building structures,
3. Experimental analysis and diagnostics of structures,
4. Resistance, durability and reliability of structures,
5. Static - structural, shape and material optimization of structures,
6. Numerical methods, simulations and mathematical applications,
7. Failure, damages and reconstructions of structures.
