      Multi-scale Mechanics of 2D Triaxially Braided Composites: Characterization, Mechanics and Machine-learning Based Modelling presents the latest advances in this important research field. The book begins with a brief introduction to these materials including their mechanical features, damage and failure mechanisms and typical applications. The contents are then divided into three main sections on experimental characterization; mechanics-based modeling and machine-learning based modeling approaches. By taking a multi-scale modeling approach, that includes progressive damage and impact simulation, as well as theoretical modelling, machine-learning and multi-scale mechanics aspects, the author presents key findings in this important field. A systematic introduction is given to the multi-scale and machine-learning based modeling approach, along with their corresponding source codes for the progressive damage model. Then an up-to-date theoretical model is also presented, as well as, high-efficient finite element mesh of the unit cell, for conducting multi-scale analysis and design of these materials and structures. Numerical examples are also presented to illustrate the application of presented methods for quasi-static and impact problems. To enhance the reader’s understanding numerous engineering case studies are also included, together with examples of material/structure optimization. The book provides the latest knowledge and methodology for the design and analysis of aerospace structures and other materials technologies, guiding the researcher to understand this cutting-edge research framework.

      The design of structures and infrastructure facilities has typically assumed a future climate that is much the same as today’s. However, a changing climate and the resulting more extreme weather events mean those climate bands are becoming outdated, leaving infrastructure operating outside or at the limit of its tolerance levels.With its evaluation of a host of assets in the built environment, Climate Change Effects on Infrastructure: Advanced Tools for Monitoring, Mitigation, and Lifecycle Optimization instructs readers how to assess and predict structural vulnerabilities resulting from climate change as well as ensuing hazard patterns using mathematical tools and data-driven models. The carefully compiled contributions also comprehensively survey the latest technological developments and the most useful approaches to counteract and/or prevent damage and connected socio-economic risks.The volume proves to be an even more invaluable resource thanks to its real-world application examples that spotlight the urgency of further investigations into the implementation of cost-effective and sustainable adaptive measures that can enhance or extend the reliable performance, durability, and efficiency of structures and infrastructure systems throughout their entire lifecycle.

      Building Information Modeling or BIM has been widely applied to new construction projects, but is less used to used to support renovation activities. Building Information Modeling for Renovation and Refurbishment: A Practical Guide addresses that issue and provides a practical guide centered around well-defined use cases of applying BIM to demonstration projects.The authors have worked on the European Union’s Horizon 2020 funded BIM-Speed project where they developed more than 20 such use cases with demonstrative implementations on real-world renovation projects. The use cases were also formalized as standard BuildingSmart International use cases.The book provides a more accessible and general description of a selected number of the most important of these use cases for renovation practitioners. Additionally, the book will discuss requirements for information management and BIM implementation planning for renovation projects to allow for the seamless implementation of use cases on projects.
