Concrete Structures Subjected to Impact and Blast Loadings and Their Combinations

Concrete Structures Subjected to Impact and Blast Loadings and Their Combinations

Although much research focuses on investigating the responses of reinforced concrete (RC) structures under sole impact or blast loads the responses of RC structures under a combination of impact and blast loads currently represent a gap in our knowledge. The combined actions of impact and blast loadings may be applied to RC structures during accidental or intentional collision of vessels vehicles etc. carrying explosive materials. A comprehensive study on the vulnerability of various structural members is carried out using finite element (FE) simulations under combination of impact and blast loads with the variations of various loading- and structural-related parameters and key parameters. This book introduces various structural analysis approaches for concrete structures when subjected to extreme loads such as impact and blast loadings. The theory of the combinations of impact and blast loads is proposed that can provide primary insights to the specific readers to develop new ideas in impact and blast engineering including combined actions of extreme loads arising from real-world intentional or accidental events. This book will be of value to students (undergraduate or postgraduate) engineers and researchers in structural and civil engineering and specifically those who are studying and investigating the performances of concrete structures under extreme loads. | Concrete Structures Subjected to Impact and Blast Loadings and Their Combinations

An Introduction to Metamaterials and Waves in Composites

An Introduction to Metamaterials and Waves in Composites

Requiring no advanced knowledge of wave propagation An Introduction to Metamaterials and Waves in Composites focuses on theoretical aspects of metamaterials periodic composites and layered composites. The book gives novices a platform from which they can start exploring the subject in more detail. After introducing concepts related to elasticity acoustics and electrodynamics in media the text presents plane wave solutions to the equations that describe elastic acoustic and electromagnetic waves. It examines the plane wave expansion of sources as well as scattering from curved interfaces specifically spheres and cylinders. The author then covers electrodynamic acoustic and elastodynamic metamaterials. He also describes examples of transformations aspects of acoustic cloaking and applications of pentamode materials to acoustic cloaking. With a focus on periodic composites the text uses the Bloch-Floquet theorem to find the effective behavior of composites in the quasistatic limit presents the quasistatic equations of elastodynamic and electromagnetic waves and investigates Brillouin zones and band gaps in periodic structures. The final chapter discusses wave propagation in smoothly varying layered media anisotropic density of a periodic layered medium and quasistatic homogenization of laminates.

Fundamentals of Solar Radiation

Fundamentals of Solar Radiation

The sun radiates a tremendous amount of energy called solar energy or solar radiation which is the main natural source of energy on the Earth by far. Because solar radiation is the almost unique supplier of energy to the Earth it has a primary influence on life and activities on the Earth. The climate is a first example but there are many others such as plant growth or human health or even the design of buildings the production of energy notably electrical and thermal or even aging materials. This book aims to provide simple answers to anyone who has questions about solar radiation. Its ambition is to help by presenting the fundamental elements of the solar radiation received on the ground. The book includes many examples and numerous illustrations as well as some simple but fairly precise equations to calculate the various elements covered and to reproduce the figures and graphs. The first of the three parts of this book is devoted to the relative geometry between the direction of the sun and an observer on the ground as well as to the solar radiation emitted by the sun and received at the top of the atmosphere. The orbit of the Earth around the sun and the solar declination are described. The concept of time is introduced which is closely linked to the solar cycle and the rotation of the Earth on itself. Equations are given to calculate the solar radiation received on a horizontal or inclined surface located at the top of the atmosphere. The spectral distribution of the extraterrestrial solar radiation is described. The second part of this book addresses how the solar radiation incident at the top of the atmosphere is attenuated and modified in its downward path to the ground. The reflection of the radiation by the ground is presented. The solar radiation received on the ground by a horizontal or inclined collector plane such as a natural slope or a rooftop is discussed as well as its spectral distribution. The variability of the radiation is addressed in relation to the properties of solar radiation estimated from the measurements. The third part deals with direct or indirect measurements of the solar radiation received on the ground over a given integration time (minute hour day or month) whether for total radiation or radiation in a spectral range such as ultraviolet (UV) or daylight or photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). It also explains how to check the plausibility of the measurements. Fundamentals of Solar Radiation will be a valuable resource to all professionals engineers researchers students and other practitioners that seek an understanding of solar radiation.
