Worked Examples In Nonlinear Continuum Mechanics For Finite Element Analysis

Download or read book Worked Examples in Nonlinear Continuum Mechanics for Finite Element Analysis written by Javier Bonet and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-02 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many processes in materials science and engineering, such as the load deformation behaviour of certain structures, exhibit nonlinear characteristics. The computer simulation of such processes therefore requires a deep understanding of both the theoretical aspects of nonlinearity and the associated computational techniques. This book provides a complete set of exercises and solutions in the field of theoretical and computational nonlinear continuum mechanics and is the perfect companion to Nonlinear Continuum Mechanics for Finite Element Analysis, where the authors set out the theoretical foundations of the subject. It employs notation consistent with the theory book and serves as a great resource to students, researchers and those in industry interested in gaining confidence by practising through examples. Instructors of the subject will also find the book indispensable in aiding student learning.
