Research and Applications in Structural Engineering, Mechanics and
Computation contains the Proceedings of the Fifth International
Conference on Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Computation
(SEMC 2013, Cape Town, South Africa, 2-4 September 2013). Over 420
papers are featured. Many topics are covered, but the contributions
may be seen to fall into one of four broad themes of the
conference, namely: (i) structural mechanics (dynamics, vibration,
seismic response, statics, bifurcation, buckling, stability, impact
response, contact mechanics, fluid-structure interaction,
soil-structure interaction, etc); (ii) mechanics of materials
(elasticity, plasticity, fracture, damage, fatigue, creep,
shrinkage, etc); (iii) modelling and testing (finite-element
modelling, numerical methods, numerical simulations, experimental
methods, experimental testing); (iv) structural-engineering
practice (planning, analysis, design, construction, maintenance,
repair, retrofitting, decommissioning). Not only do the
considerations cover many types of engineering structures
(buildings, bridges, tunnels, towers, space frames, roofs,
foundations, shells, plates, mechanical assemblies, etc), they also
span a diversity of engineering materials ranging from the
traditional to the novel: steel, concrete, timber, masonry,
aluminium, special alloys, glass, composites, functionally-graded
materials, smart materials, etc. Two versions of each paper are
available. The printed book features 2-page versions of the papers,
intended to be concise but sufficiently informative summaries of
the full papers. Details may be seen in the full papers, which are
carried on the accompanying CD-ROM. Research and Applications in
Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Computation is of interest to
civil, structural, mechanical, marine and aerospace engineers
concerned with the modelling, analysis, design, construction and
maintenance of engineering structures. Researchers, practitioners
and academics in these discipines will find the book useful. The
SEMC international conferences, inaugurated in 2001, aim at
bringing together from around the world academics, researchers and
practitioners in the broad fields of structural mechanics,
associated computation and structural engineering, to review recent
achievements in the advancement of knowledge and understanding in
these areas, share the latest developments, and address the
challenges that the present and the future pose.
