Books published by WIT Press

This volume contains the proceedings of a conference on urban transport and the environment. It addresses issues such as advances in analysis and traffic management, and new transport systems, from an environmental point of view.

The authors investigate various integral equations for multiple crack problems in plane elasticity. Formulation of the problems is based on relevant elementary solutions in which the complex variable function method is used.

This volume provides an overview of current developments in theoretical aspects of atmosphere-ocean interactions. These include the fundamental influence of the ocean surface on the atmospheric dynamics and also the impact of atmospheric phenomena on the upper ocean.

Provides an introduction to the state-of-the-art in computer modelling of corrosion and related electrochemical processes. Aimed at corrosion engineers, physicists, and model developers, this book contains contributions from the researchers and developers of corrosion modelling tools and users who apply the technology in their industry.

Presents the fundamental elements and theories in fracture and damage analysis. This book also presents the research and advances in the development of the analytical and practical approaches required to assess the materials damage and the durability of structures.

This text and CD-ROM is dedicated to the problem of flight control over the sea at low altitudes, and is concerned particularly with Ekranoplanes: a breed of aircraft which use low resistance of ground effect flight.

This volume explores seismic isolation as an alternative and performance-based design approach to minimize earthquake induced loads and resulting damage in low to medium-rise buildings. It demonstrates its capability to decouple a structure from the damaging effects of ground acceleration.
