Books by Keyword: Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).
Various research topics fall under the rubric of Structure: e.g. material damage leading to crack growth and/or fatigue of structures under dynamic loading or impact, durability and reliability of structures, numerical simulation and experimental work involving large deformations and impact associated with various experimental techniques. With regard to experimental studies, many non-destructive tests have been developed during recent years in order to deliver more accurate data. Therefore, papers dealing with the processing, characterization and physical properties determination of materials and structures fall under this heading. Finally, it also covers aspects of computer software, numerical models and advanced simulation algorithms. Specific applications of modeling and simulation in science and engineering, together with the relevant applied mathematical techniques, are also covered.

Description: The increased use of advanced materials in high efficiency structures – electronic devices, medical equipment, aircraft and vehicles – requires improved reliability, resistance to breakdown and improved failure and life-span forecasting for a wide range of loading conditions. The development of materials having advanced structural properties is becoming a key factor in industrial and technological progress.
