Probabilistic Mechanics of Quasibrittle Structures - Strength, Lifetime, and Size Effect - Bok av Zdenek P. (Northwestern University Bazant - Inbunden
This book presents a mathematical exposition of the strength and lifetime statistics of structures made of brittle heterogeneous materials. This subject is of paramount importance for analysis and design of many man-made structures with applications to civil, mechanical, aerospace, geotechnical, ocean, offshore, petroleum, naval, nuclear, mining, biomedical and materials engineering.
