This book contains the fully peer-reviewed papers presented at the
Third Engineering Foundation Conference on Small Fatigue Cracks,
held under the chairmanship of K.S. Ravichandran and Y. Murakami
during December 6-11, 1998, at the Turtle Bay Hilton, Oahu, Hawaii.
This book presents a state-of-the-art description of the mechanics,
mechanisms and applications of small fatigue cracks by most of the
world's leading experts in this field. Topics ranging from the
mechanisms of crack initiation, small crack behavior in metallic,
intermetallic, ceramic and composite materials, experimental
measurement, mechanistic and theoretical models, to the role of
small cracks in fretting fatigue and the application of small crack
results to the aging aircraft and high-cycle fatigue problems, are
covered.
It is well accepted that progress in biological and biochemical
researches is based mainly on a better understanding of life
processes on a molecular level. For this, modern chemical
techniques for structural elucidation even of sophisticated
biomolecules and theoretical and mechanistic considerations
involving biological macromolecules help the understanding of
structure-function relations, metabolic processes, molecular and
cellular recognition and the reproduction of life. On the other
hand, controlled manipulation of the struc ture of biological
macromolecules and the synthesis of well designed biomimetic models
are the basic tools used in bio organic chemistry, a field at the
-border line between classical biochemistry and classical organic
chemistry. For this, increas ing number of chemists and biochemists
are studying simple synthetic molecules as models of enzyme action,
ion transport across membranes and in general receptor-substrate
inter action. This new series, Bioorganic Chemistry Frontiers, will
at tempt to bring together critical reviews on the progress in this
field. In this second volume of the series, six different active
domains are covered and are presented to stress the diversity and
scope of bioorganic chemistry. They include the design of
artificial nucleases (Corey, Zuckermann, and Schultz), molecu lar
tweezers (Zimmerman), hydrolytic cleavage with metal complexes
(Chin, Banaszczyk, Jubian, Kim, and Maejen), dif ferent aspects of
molecular recognition (Hamilton), supramole cular assemblies and
functional models of membranes and enzymes (Murakami and Kikuchi)
and the concept ofmolecu lar topology (Sauvage and Dietrich). Each
subject uses a "molecular" language common to the chemist, the
biologist, and the pharmacologist."
Theory of Elasticity and Stress Concentration Yukitaka Murakami,
Kyushu University, Japan A comprehensive guide to elasticity and
stress concentration Theory of Elasticity and Stress Concentration
comprehensively covers elasticity and stress concentration and
demonstrates how to apply the theory to practical engineering
problems. The book presents a new approach to the topic without the
need for complicated mathematics, and the principles and meaning of
stress concentration are covered without reliance on numerical
analysis. The book consists of two parts: Part I - Theory of
Elasticity and Part II - Stress Concentration. Part I treats the
theory of elasticity from the viewpoint of helping the reader to
comprehend the essence of it. Part II treats the principle and
meaning of stress concentration and guides the reader to a better
understanding of it. Throughout the book, many useful and
interesting applications of the basic new way of thinking are
presented and explained. Key features: * Unique approach to the
topics. * Encourages the readers to acquire the new way of thinking
and engineering judgement. * Includes examples, problems and
solutions. This book provides essential reading for researchers and
practitioners in the structural and mechanical engineering
industries.
