A Review on Dental Materials
(2020)
This book discusses the current biomaterials used for dental applications and the basic sciences underpinning their application. The most critical structures in the oral cavity are the teeth, which play a central role in speaking, biting, chewing, tasting and swallowing. Teeth consist of three types of tissue: the cementum, enamel and dentin, with bone and gingival tissue serving as supporting structures. Caries, tooth wear, trauma and mechanical defects can lead to severe facial conditions; however, correcting these defects remains a challenge for scientists and dentists. Presenting insights form a broad range of disciplines, including materials science, biology, physiology and clinical science, this book provides a timely review of the principles, processing and application of dental materials.

Bone Cement
(2020)
This book provides an overview of the composition of polymeric and ceramic bone cements. It also discusses complex, biomimetic structures based on biomaterials, such as cells and bioactive molecules, which more closely resemble natural bone
The first chapter describes the main concepts of the cementation process and the parameters affecting it, while the second chapter focuses on the composition and structure of candidate biomaterials. Lastly, the third and fourth chapters present recent research aimed at improving the ability of naked biomaterials to enhance bone healing by adding cells and bioactive agents.
Bürgerbegehren in Bayern
(2021)
Seit 1956 in Baden-Württemberg erstmals Bürgerbegehren eingeführt wurden, kam es in der Universitätsstadt Tübingen zu 17 Anwendungsfällen von Bürgerbegehren bzw. Bürgerentscheid.
Die Themen waren dabei so vielfältig wie die Diskussionen im Gemeinderat: Sie reichen von der Bebauung eines Geländes am Neckarufer über die Verhinderung von Verkehrsprojekten bzw. der Errichtung eines Kaufhauses bis zum aktuell betriebenen „Radentscheid“.
Die langjährige Praxis hat zu einem partizipatorischen Verständnis der Kommunalpolitik beigetragen und die Zusammensetzung des Gemeinderats nachhaltig beeinflusst.
Nun haben Studierende der Hochschule Esslingen unter Anleitung von Prof. Dr. Christopher Schmidt dieses spannende Kapitel Tübinger Geschichte unter die Lupe genommen.

Composite Mechanics
(2023)
This book is the second edition of an introduction to modern computational mechanics based on the finite element method. It includes more details on the theory, more exercises, and more consistent notation; in addition, all pictures have been revised. Featuring more than 100 pages of new material, the new edition will help students succeed in mechanics courses by showing them how to apply the fundamental knowledge they gained in the first years of their engineering education to more advanced topics.
In order to deepen readers’ understanding of the equations and theories discussed, each chapter also includes supplementary problems. These problems start with fundamental knowledge questions on the theory presented in the respective chapter, followed by calculation problems. In total, over 80 such calculation problems are provided, along with brief solutions for each.
This book is especially designed to meet the needs of Australian students, reviewing the mathematics covered in their first two years at university. The 13-week course comprises three hours of lectures and two hours of tutorials per week.

Der Grundgedanke dieser Einführung in die Methode der Finiten Elemente wird von dem Konzept getragen, die komplexe Methode nur anhand eindimensionaler Elemente zu erläutern. Somit bleibt die mathematische Beschreibung weitgehend einfach und überschaubar. Das Augenmerk liegt in jedem Kapitel auf der Erläuterung der Methode und deren Verständnis selbst. Der Leser lernt die Annahmen und Ableitungen bei verschiedenen physikalischen Problemstellungen in der Strukturmechanik zu verstehen und Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Methode der Finiten Elemente kritisch zu beurteilen.
Die Beschränkung auf eindimensionale Elemente ermöglicht somit das methodische Verständnis wichtiger Themenbereiche (z.B. Plastizität oder Verbundwerkstoffe), die einem angehenden Berechnungsingenieur in der Berufspraxis begegnen, jedoch in dieser Form nur selten an Hochschulen behandelt werden. Somit ist ein einfacher Einstieg – auch in weiterführende Anwendungsgebiete – durch das Konzept (a) Einführung in die Grundlagen (b) exakte Ableitung bei Beschränkung auf eindimensionale Elemente (und in vielen Fällen auch auf eindimensionale Probleme) (c) Umfangreiche Beispiele und weiterführende Aufgaben (mit Kurzlösung im Anhang) gewährleistet.
Zur Veranschaulichung wird jedes Kapitel sowohl mit ausführlich durchgerechneten und kommentierten Beispielen als auch mit weiterführenden Aufgaben inklusive Kurzlösungen vertieft.
This Encyclopedia covers the entire science of continuum mechanics including the mechanics of materials and fluids. The encyclopedia comprises mathematical definitions for continuum mechanical modeling, fundamental physical concepts, mechanical modeling methodology, numerical approaches and many fundamental applications. The modelling and analytical techniques are powerful tools in mechanical civil and areospsace engineering, plus in related fields of plasticity, viscoelasticity and rheology. Tensor-based and reference-frame-independent, continuum mechanics has recently found applications in geophysics and materials.
This book offers an update on recent developments in modern engineering design. Different engineering disciplines, such as mechanical, materials, computer and process engineering, provide the foundation for the design and development of improved structures, materials and processes. The modern design cycle is characterized by the interaction between various disciplines and a strong shift to computer-based approaches where only a few experiments are conducted for verification purposes. A major driver for this development is the increased demand for cost reduction, which is also linked to environmental demands. In the transportation industry (e.g. automotive or aerospace), the demand for higher fuel efficiency is related to reduced operational costs and less environmental damage. One way to fulfil such requirements is lighter structures and/or improved processes for energy conversion. Another emerging area is the interaction of classical engineering with the health and medical sector.

The modern design cycle is characterized by the interaction of different disciplines and a strong shift toward computer-based approaches involving only a small number of experiments for verification purposes. A major driver for this development is the increased demand for cost reduction, which is also connected to environmental demands.
