    • English
    Mechanics of Materials: An Introduction to the Mechanics of Elastic and Plastic Deformation of Solids and Structural Materials, 4th Edition covers the behaviors of materials and structures under various loads, the ways in which they react to applied forces, the resulting deflections, and the stresses and strains that need to be considered when designing a mechanical component. It begins with an introduction to the concepts of stress, strain, shear force, and bending moments, then progresses to an examination of bending, shear, and torsion in elements such as beams, cylinders, shells, and springs. A simple treatment of complex stress and strain leads to a study of the theories of elastic failure and an introduction to the experimental methods of stress and strain analysis. Building on those fundamentals, the book then extends the scope of the materials covered into more complex areas such as unsymmetrical bending, loading and deflection of struts, rings, discs, cylinder plates, diaphragms, and thin walled sections. The finite element method, and more advanced topics such as contact and residual stresses, stress concentrations, fatigue, and creep and fracture are also covered. Each chapter contains a summary of the essential formulae developed in the chapter, as well as a large number of worked examples which progress in level of difficulty. Additionally, each chapter concludes with an extensive selection of problems for solving by the reader.

  • Simulating Protein Folding in Variable Environmental Conditions

    Transformation from Globular Proteins to Amyloids
    • 1st Edition
    • January 30, 2026
    • Irena Roterman-Konieczna
    • English
    Simulating Protein Folding in Variable Environmental Conditions: Transformation from Globular Proteins to Amyloids delves into the effects of external conditions upon the protein folding process. The book considers how this can lead to amyloid formation and why proteins fold the way they do. It presents the fuzzy oil drop model (FOD-M), which enables the measurements of external factors influencing the folding process and considers changed external conditions as the source for the misfolding process. Sections provide an introduction to amyloid transformation and outline the hypothesis of the model simulation before considering the role of environmental factors, including the water environment and membrane environment. This book is a useful resource for researchers interested in investigating protein folding across molecular biology, structural biology, biochemistry, computational biology and related fields.
