Bücher der Reihe Springer Series in Solid and Structural Mechanics

This successful book, which is now appearing in its second edition, presents a comprehensive new Statics of Masonry Constructions.

Europe's historic buildings require endless maintenance, yet the statics of these constructions lacks a common approach. This book codifies the field, presenting a comprehensive, unified theory of statics for structures including arches, vaults and towers.

This book introduces structural dynamics. It starts with the basics and step by step brings readers to a level where they can understand how to perform the necessary safety considerations to wind or horizontal ground motion induced dynamic design problems.

This book summarizes the main methods of experimental stress analysis and examines their application to various states of stress of major technical interest, highlighting aspects not always covered in the classic literature.

This book offers comprehensive coverage of stress and strain analysis of circular cylinders and pressure vessels. It examines theoretically what happens at pressures that stress the material beyond its yield point and at thermal loads that give rise to creep.

This book investigates collisions occurring in the motion of solids, in the motion of fluids but also in the motion of pedestrians in crowds.

This book offers valuable insights and provides effective tools useful for imagining, creating, and promoting novel and challenging developments in structural mechanics.

This book provides a compact history of gears, by summarizing the main stages of their development and the corresponding gradual acquisition of engineering expertise, from the antiquity to the Renaissance and the twentieth century.
