This monograph presents a new fractal finite element method (FFEM) based continuum shape sensitivity analysis for a crack in a homogeneous, isotropic, and 2-D linear-elastic body subjected to mixed-mode loading conditions. The method is based on the material derivative concept of continuum mechanics, and direct differentiation....

Ozone is found in two regions of the Earth\"s atmosphere – at ground level and in the upper regions of the atmosphere. Both types of ozone have the same chemical composition (O3). While upper atmospheric ozone protects the earth from the sun\"s harmful rays, ground level ozone is the main component of photochemical smog....
