Description
Summary:""Futures in Mechanics of Structures and Materials" is a collection of peer-reviewed papers presented at the 20th Australasian Conference on the Mechanics of Structures and Materials (ACMSM20, University of Southern Queensland, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia, 2-5, December 2008) by academics, researchers and practicing engineers mainly from Australasia and the Asia-Pacific region. The topics under discussion include: composite structures and materials; computational mechanics; earthquake and wind engineering; fire engineering; geomechanics and foundation engineering; mechanics of materials; rehabilitation of structures; reinforced and prestressed concrete structures; reliability and sustainability of structures; shock and impact loading; steel structures; structural dynamics; structural health monitoring; structural mechanics; and, timber engineering. "Futures in Mechanics of Structures and Materials" will be a valuable reference for academics, researchers and practicing engineers working in structural and material engineering and mechanics." --Book Jacket.
