Mechanics of Ice Failure

An Engineering Analysis

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Featuring real-world examples and practical methodology, this rigorous text explores time dependence in the mechanics of ice. Emphasizing use of full scale data, and implementing risk-based design methods, mechanical theory is combined with design and modelling.
