These are presented in an engineering terminology for practical usage. The author treats the mathematical formulations from an engineering viewpoint and presents high-order finite-element methods for the computation of singular solutions in isotropic and anisotropic materials, and multi-material interfaces. The proper interpretation of the results in engineering practice is advocated, so that the computed data can be correlated to experimental observations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is divided into fourteen chapters, each containing several sections. Most of it (the first nine Chapters) addresses two-dimensional domains, where only singular points exist. The solution in a vicinity of these points admits an asymptotic expansion composed of eigenpairs and associated generalized flux\/stress intensity factors (GFIFs\/GSIFs), which are being computed analytically when possible or by finite element methods otherwise. Singular points associated with weakly coupled thermoelasticity in the vicinity of singularities are also addressed and thermal GSIFs are computed. The computed data is important in engineering practice for predicting failure initiation in brittle materials on a daily basis. Several failure laws for two-dimensional domains with V-notches are presented and their validity is examined by comparison to experimental observations. A sufficient simple and reliable condition for predicting failure initiation (crack formation) in micron level electronic devices, involving singular points, is still a topic of active research and interest, and is addressed herein.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplicit singular solutions in the vicinity of vertices and edges in three-dimensional domains are provided in the remaining five chapters. New methods for the computation of generalized edge flux\/stress intensity functions along singular edges are presented and demonstrated by several example problems from the field of fracture mechanics; including anisotropic domains and bimaterial interfaces. Circular edges are also presented and the author concludes with some remarks on open questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis well illustrated book will appeal to both applied mathematicians and engineers working in the field of fracture mechanics and singularities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49785684558097,"sku":"DVDB06W2M5Y2LVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53423325020433,"sku":"CINB06W2M5Y2LVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53428823556369,"sku":"CINB06W2M5Y2LG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B06W2M5Y2L.jpg?v=1751192744"},{"product_id":"revelation-of-jack-the-ripper-book-alan-scarfe-9780968971819","title":"The Revelation Of Jack The Ripper","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen people ask the writer, Alan Scarfe, why he wrote this novel, he generally sidesteps the question and begins by saying what the book is not.
