      Description

      Solve problems in elementary structural mechanics thoughtfully and efficiently with this self-contained volume. Covers the basics of structural mechanics and focuses on simple structures, truss frameworks, beams and frames, design choices, and deformity. Carefully interrogates underlying assumptions for efficiencies in working out whilst expounding fundamental principles for a consistent understanding. Heavily connects the practical world of indeterminate structures to their analysis, to underline benefits they impart to the latter: that certain analytical methods provide a wealth of efficient solutions for problems of indeterminate structures compared to determinate ones. Celebrates the beauty of analytical indeterminacy and its relationship to practical structures. Perfect for students invested in structural mechanics, and aims to complement their learning and understanding.

      • Collated as several chapters written in the essay style
      • Problems are formulated from first principles with clear expression of the underlying assumptions, and a strong emphasis on graphical solution techniques
      • Celebrates statically indeterminate structures in the analytical sense, in order to complement their wide-spread prevalence in practice

      Journal of Fluid Mechanics

      : Journal

      Journal of Fluid Mechanics is the leading international journal in the field and is essential reading for all those concerned with developments in fluid mechanics. It publishes authoritative articles covering theoretical, computational and experimental investigations of all aspects of the mechanics of fluids. Each issue contains papers on both the fundamental aspects of fluid mechanics, and their applications to other fields such as aeronautics, astrophysics, biology, chemical and mechanical engineering, hydraulics, meteorology, oceanography, geology, acoustics and combustion.The journal was founded in 1956 by George Batchelor, who was also its Editor until 1996 (with Keith Moffatt as co-Editor from 1966 to 1983). Since then the Editors have been David Crighton, Tim Pedley and Steve Davis. The current Editor is Grae Worster, assisted by Deputy Editors Paul Linden and Charles Meneveau. They are part of a team of Associate Editors who handle submissions autonomously. JFM does not impose page charges for regular publication. Optional inclusion of colour figures in the print edition is charged at a rate of £200 per figure. Accepted papers may be published under an open access license in exchange for an article processing charge of £1695/$2700.

      The ANZIAM Journal considers papers in any field of applied mathematics and related mathematical sciences with the aim of rapid publication in print and electronic formats. Novel applications of mathematics in real situations are especially welcomed. All papers should include some indication of applicability, and an introduction that can be understood by non-specialist readers from the whole applied mathematical community.
