Discrete Computational Mechanics of Masonry Structures
Presents the fundaments of Graphic Statics, Limit Analysis and the Discrete Element Method. Enables readers to develop their own methods, inspired by classical Graphic Statics & any modern technique. Explains why the mechanical behaviour of masonry structures is so different from modern building materials.

Small Scale Modeling and Simulation of Incompressible Turbulent Multi-Phase Flow
The book provides basic and recent research insights concerning the small scale modeling and simulation of turbulent multi-phase flows. By small scale, it has to be understood that the grid size for the simulation is smaller than most of the physical time and space scales of the problem. Small scale modeling of multi-phase flows is a very popular topic since the capabilities of massively parall...

Advanced Theories for Deformation, Damage and Failure in Materials
The book introduces advanced theories for deformation, damage, and failure in materials. The overall continuum mechanical framework was marked out and added by creep and damage mechanics of materials at elevated temperatures. The time-dependent and time-independent models of cyclic plasticity for low cycle and thermomechanical fatigue life assessment were specified in a very special manner: ins...
