      Multiscale Modelling of Concrete covers all things concrete, including comprehensive discussions on this multi-phase and multi-scale material that is difficult to model and understand due to its heterogeneity. Thus, knowing the properties and modeling concrete in different scales is essential to predict properties and fracture. Most of the research has been focused on meso scale, or the methods available to model and predict micro-scale properties are not linked to experimental methods, so properties for microscale cannot be derived and it is onerous to validate such methods.Considering the above constraints, the book covers different modelling techniques of scales of concrete - macro, meso, micro/nano and molecular level, characterizing mechanical properties and parameters required for modelling using macro and micro level experiments and linking these levels using analytical and numerical methods to upscale results from micro to the macro level.

      Fracture of Steel in Energy Machine Parts: High-Temperature Creep and Hydrogen Influence outlines modeling approaches for determining the effects of high-temperature creep, hydrogen diffusion, damage accumulation, and creep development in steam pipelines, steam turbine discs, heat exchange pipes, and steam boiler drums. The book starts by discussing the strength and durability of metallic materials and structural elements at volumetric damage, then at local damage, and finally at the end of residual life. It then presents models and algorithms for simulating the flow of these different phenomena (high-temperature creep, hydrogen diffusion, damage accumulation, and creep development) that occur at different speeds at different points in the volume of a structure. Different types of cracks are covered, including through cracks, internal cracks, surface cracks, and elliptical cracks.
