This book contains 24 papers presented at the symposium on
Recent Advances in Mechanics dedicated to the late Professor
Academician Pericles S. Theocaris in commemoration of the tenth
anniversary of his death. The papers are written by world renowned
and recognized experts in their fields and serve as a reference and
guide for future research.
The topics covered in the book can be divided into three major
themes: Mathematical methods in applied mechanics (nine papers),
experimental mechanics (nine papers) and fracture mechanics (six
papers).
Topics covered include: Application of reciprocity relations to
laser-based ultrasonics, boundary value problems of the theory of
elasticity, optimal design in contact mechanics, scaling of
strength and lifetime distributions of quasibrittle structures,
directional distortional hardening in plasticity, vibration of
systems, instability phenomena in damped systems, variational
methods for static and dynamic elasticity problems, an accelerated
Newmark scheme for solving the equations of motion in the time
domain, photoelastic tomography, electronic speckle pattern
interferometry, composites exposed to fire, sampling moire,
microelecromechanical systems, experimental mechanics in
nano-scale, advanced cement based nanocomposites, piezonuclear
transmutations in brittle rocks under mechanical loading, stress
triaxiality at crack tips studied by caustics, reinforcement of a
cracked elastic plate with defects, some actual problems of
fracture mechanics, cyclic plasticity with applications to
extremely low cycle fatigue of structural steel, and fracture of a
highly filled polymer composite.
