Sommario/riassunto

Contains over one thousand practice questions - worked examples, quick tests, 2 full BMAT-style sample test papers, and 2 full UKCAT-style sample test papers. With the use of admissions tests becoming an increasingly more common part of the selection process for entrance to medical school, BMAT and UKCAT Uncovered is a comprehensive yet accessible guide to the two main tests used by UK medical schools.



Written by recent Cambridge graduates, the authors' experience lies in taking these exams themselves and teaching students how to pass them. They combine key strategies for tac

Sommario/riassunto

This book presents recent advances related to the following two topics:- how mechanical fields close to material or geometrical singularities such as cracks can be determined;- how failure criteria can be established according to the singularity degrees related to these discontinuities.Concerning the determination of mechanical fields close to a crack tip, the first part of the book presents most of the traditional methods in order to classify them into two major categories. The first is



based on the stress field, such as the Airy function, and the second resolves the prob
