The proposed book contains a lot of recent research devoted to computational and numeri‐ cal simulations. It presents both new theories and their applications, showing bridge be‐ tween theoretical investigations and possibility to apply them by engineers of different

Chapter 1 by Awrejcewicz et al. describes possibility of application of the Lyapunov expo‐ nents and wavelets in studies of plates and shells. It focuses on characterization of their reg‐ ular and chaotic dynamics, using different methods including Finite Element Method,

In chapter 2, Kartushinsky et al. present effect of the pipe diameter at a constant Reynolds number in the particulate turbulent flow by focusing on the external effect of the flow con‐

In chapter 3, Kartushinsky et al. extend their investigation of Reynolds stress turbulence model (RSTM) by numerical simulations of the channel particulate flow with rough walls and initial level of turbulence. RSTM model was applied and investigated for different cases, for both horizontal and vertical flows, with channel cross-sections of rectangular and square, also for channels with smooth and rough walls and with obstacle in form of the vertical grid

Validation of the most frequently used plasma cutting torch models is presented by Manci‐ nelli et al. in chapter 4. They describe plasma torch model with physical details, model as‐ sumption, governing equations, and the boundary conditions are verified by confrontation

In chapter 5, wall pressure fluctuations m oscillations over the hemisphere-cylinder and un‐ steady flow characteristics of over blunt bodies at high speed are analyzed. As an example Mehta used the bulbous payload shroud of a typical satellite launch vehicle and the conical spoke attached forward to the facing blunt body. Determined was also the influence of dif‐

Ryabicheva and Usatyuk in chapter 6 approach the problem of quality improvement of au‐ tomotive parts applying theoretical analysis in form of computer modeling to the stressstrain state, temperature field and density distribution during radial-direct extrusion of

In chapter 7, Kopecki presents results of experiments concerning post-critical behavior of thin-walled load-bearing structures. It is focused on number of variants of thin-walled cylin‐ drical shell structures utilized commonly in aircraft design. Changes in post-buckling defor‐
