Download or read book Meshless Methods in Solid Mechanics written by Youping Chen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-12-31 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the fundamentals of continuum mechanics, the integral formulation methods of continuum problems, the basic concepts of finite element methods, and the methodologies, formulations, procedures, and applications of various meshless methods. It also provides general and detailed procedures of meshless analysis on elastostatics, elastodynamics, non-local continuum mechanics and plasticity with a large number of numerical examples. Some basic and important mathematical methods are included in the Appendixes. For readers who want to gain knowledge through hands-on experience, the meshless programs for elastostatics and elastodynamics are provided on an included disc.
