Book Description
Este libro hace una presentación del método de los elementos finitos como técnica para la solución de ecuaciones diferenciales parciales (EDP) de tipo elíptico, parabólico e hiperbólico. El desarrollo del texto incluye tanto una formulación matemática consistente, como aplicaciones clásicas en el campo de la transferencia de calor, la elasticidad y la mecánica de fluidos. La obra inicia con una breve exposición del método de los residuos ponderados y luego ilustra su aplicación en la solución con elementos finitos de ecuaciones diferenciales. A continuación, se presentan planteamientos con elementos de orden superior, así como consideraciones para el planteamiento de soluciones con condensación estática y elementos jerárquicos. Posteriormente se tratan las EDP elípticas, tanto para el caso de problemas escalares (problemas de conducción de calor) como para problemas vectoriales (elasticidad plana). La construcción de aproximaciones para problemas en estado transitorio es revisada en la siguiente sección, así como el análisis de las condiciones de estabilidad requeridas. De igual forma, se analiza la formulación de elementos finitos para problemas con términos de transporte y se explica detalladamente el origen y la implementación de la técnica de estabilización Streamline Upwind Petrov-Galerkin (SUPG). En la última sección se expone un breve estudio sobre la construcción de soluciones para EDP no lineales.

Dam Maintenance and Rehabilitation
Author: M. Cabrera
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351456741
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 993
Book Description
During the life of a dam, changes in safety standards, legislation and land use will inevitably occur, and functional deterioration may also appear. To meet these challenges, these Proceedings from a panel of international experts assess, define and re-evaluate the design criteria for the construction of dams and the many attendant issues in on-going maintenance and management. Authors include international specialists: academics, professionals and those in local government, utilities and suppliers. Practitioners from these same fields will find the book a useful tool in acquiring a comprehensive knowledge of managing and retrofitting dams, so that they can continue to meet society's needs.

Languages : en
Pages : 3344
Book Description
The work of geotechnical engineers contributes to the creation of safe, economic and pleasant spaces to live, work and relax all over the world. Advances are constantly being made, and the expertise of the profession becomes ever more important with the increased pressure on space and resources. This book presents the proceedings of the 15th Pan-American Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (XV PCSMGE), held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in November 2015. This conference, held every four years, is an important opportunity for international experts, researchers, academics, professionals and geo-engineering companies to meet and exchange ideas and research findings in the areas of soil mechanics, rock mechanics, and their applications in civil, mining and environmental engineering. The articles are divided into nine sections: transportation geotechnics; in-situ testing; geo-engineering for energy and sustainability; numerical modeling in geotechnics; foundations and ground improvement; unsaturated soil behavior; embankments, dams and tailings; excavations and tunnels; and geo-risks, and cover a wide spectrum of issues from fundamentals to applications in geotechnics. This book will undoubtedly represent an essential reference for academics, researchers and practitioners in the field of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. In this proceedings, approximately 65% of the contributions are in English, and 35% of the contributions are in Spanish or Portuguese.

INTRODUCTION TO FINITE ELEMENT METHOD
Author: Ramón Álvarez Cabal
Publisher: Editorial UNED
ISBN: 8436268881
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
This text is designed for those who already know structural calculation. It starts with the simple exercise of reformulating the direct stiffness method using matrices. The aim is to allow the student to understand the enormous power and generality of the weak formulation for the approximation of strut structure problems by using a formulation which is easy to understand. The correspondence of results of the initial classical formulation with those of the FEM when using linear shape functions and Hermite polynomials allows us to tackle the general formulation of the fundamental concepts of the method more easily. Once the method and the details of its general formulation are understood (although only through its application in a specific structural type), the FEM is presented in a general way, as a procedure for obtaining approximated solutions for partial differential equations. The approaches to field problems and to linear elasticity problems are presented as examples. The method has been now clearly presented and therefore, the selection of the type of element, with the generation of interpolation functions of higher degree and their systematization in element families, can be studied in greater depth. This part finishes with the introduction of the idea of isoparametric transformation that, together with numerical integration, explains the stage of development reached by the method. Finally, the subject relative to plates is dealt with, looking at their specific use as structural elements, and trying to show the difficulty of satisfying the continuity between elements in thin plates, and the shear locking solution in thick plates amongst other things
