Thermally induced deformations and associated residual stresses are unavoidable in welded structures and constructions. The residual stresses affect the fracture, fatigue, and stress corrosion cracking behaviour in welded joints, and the welded structures and constructions suffer from restrictions set...

...specified by the user are the eye point and the light sources. Then an imaginary grid of pixels is placed in a view plane between the eye and the objects. A ray follows a path from the viewpoint, through a pixel, and to the object. When a ray intersects an object, the color and orientation of the surface it encounters...
Despite advances in software engineering methods and tools, understanding what software components do and ensuring that they work well together remains difficult. This is chiefly due to the lack of support for specifying component interfaces and software compositions formally. Due to these shortcomings...
