2. The Finite Element Method for Mechanics of Solids with ANSYS Applications

   By Ellis H. Dill

   Series: Advances in Engineering Series

   While the finite element method (FEM) has become the standard technique used to solve static and dynamic problems associated with structures and machines, ANSYS software has developed into the engineer’s software of choice to model and numerically solve those problems. An invaluable tool to help...

6. Handbook of Space Engineering, Archaeology, and Heritage

   Edited by Ann Darrin, Beth L. O'Leary

   Series: Advances in Engineering Series

   Some might think that the 27 thousand tons of material launched by earthlings into outer space is nothing more than floating piles of debris. However, when looking at these artifacts through the eyes of historians and anthropologists, instead of celestial pollution, they are seen as links to human...
