This volume is a compilation of contributions in applied mechanics,
dealing with both solid and fluid mechanics. The contributions are
based on material presented at the national mechanics congress held
in the Netherlands during November 16--18, 1992. The scope of the
volume covers both theoretical and applied issues, including the
following themes: Experimental mechanics, how to use modern
electronic equipment, optical techniques and software tools to
measure strain, stress, displacements, forces, etc. in both fluids
and solids. The analysis of localised effects on stiffness,
strength and stability of structures, like dikes, bridges, roads,
and all public works necessary to improve among other things the
navigability of canals and rivers. The analysis of damage processes
in concrete and fiber reinforced polymers and the quest to make
such processes accessible by numerical computation. The analysis of
localised effects on fluid flow, leading to more understanding of
the origin of the different colours of musical tones and human
speech, but also to more understanding of the pulsating flow of
blood through complicated shaped arteries and drag reduction in
turbulent flow through pipes or along walls, as a result of small
sized surface grooves or the addition of a very small amount of
polymer to liquids. The investigation of non-linearities in the
behaviour of dynamic systems such as manipulators, railway
vehicles, etc. Micromechanics and constitutive equations. In order
to describe complex material behaviour understanding of momentum
and heat transport on almost the molecular level is needed. This
emphasizes the importance of micromechanics in relation to the
ultimate strength of composite materials, ranging from fiber
reinforced plastics up to very high temperature resistant ceramics
toughened by thin hairlike crystals of exceptional mechanical
strength. Fluid-structure interactions, such as occur in non-rigid
pipelines and artery systems.
