      An Introduction to the Finite Element Method with the Variational Approach offers a comprehensive solution to the gaps often found in introductory texts on the Finite Element Method (FEM). The book provides a thorough introduction to the fundamental principles of linear and time-independent FEM within the variational framework. It meticulously covers the derivation of 1-D FEM equations based on variational functionals, encompassing both linear and higher-order elements, and shape functions driven by convergence criteria. Furthermore, it explores 1-D numerical integration, outlines coding procedures, and provides insights into handling material nonlinearity and time-dependent scenarios.Expanding into 2-D problems, the book offers derivations of 2-D FEM equations tailored to diverse engineering disciplines, including Steady-State Heat Conduction, Solid Mechanics (covering torsion, plane strain/axisymmetric cases, and the bending, stability, and vibrations of thin plates), as well as Fluid Mechanics (addressing incompressible inviscid and viscous fluids). It includes detailed discussions on element continuity, numerical integration techniques, and even includes 2-D codes for selected problems. The book concludes by delving into recent advancements in FEM, with a specific focus on applications in machine learning and isogeometric analysis.

The book provides practical information to aid decision-making in addressing corrosion threats through clear guidelines for MIC/MID assessment, mitigation, and monitoring based on various materials and industries. Different MIC/MID types, mechanisms, and techniques for control and prevention are outlined. Chapters cover the environmental aspects of corrosion, the distinction between corrosion control and corrosion prevention, and microbial induced corrosion and deterioration in concrete, metals, polymers, and composites. The book emphasizes the consideration of both tactics and strategy when dealing with MIC/MID, with a particular focus on cathodic protection. A chapter featuring practical field-tested tips to assist field engineers with MIC/MID is included, and case studies are featured throughout.

      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.

      3D printing processes have promising advantages over conventional manufacturing processes from a functional ability viewpoint. In the past 30 years, a variety of additive manufacturing-based 3D printing processes have been reported for the fabrication of functional prototypes, using materials such as thermoplastic, resins, metal and their alloys. While there is a significant amount of information on various 3D printing processes, and materials that may be used in 3D printing-based manufacturing practices for engineering applications, there is far less information on 3D printable materials for structural and non-structural engineering applications. Engineering Materials for 3D Printing fills this gap. The book includes three sections and provides an insight on the development and characterization of polymer-based 3D printed materials by different processes such as extrusion, sol-gel, and pulverization along with meta-structure properties for various structural applications
