Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Solids and Structures (eBook)

Built upon the two original books by Mike Crisfield and their
own lecture notes, renowned scientist René de Borst and his
team offer a thoroughly updated yet condensed edition that retains
and builds upon the excellent reputation and appeal amongst
students and engineers alike for which Crisfield's first edition is
acclaimed.

Together with numerous additions and updates, the new authors
have retained the core content of the original publication, while
bringing an improved focus on new developments and ideas. This
edition offers the latest insights in non-linear finite element
technology, including non-linear solution strategies, computational
plasticity, damage mechanics, time-dependent effects,
hyperelasticity and large-strain elasto-plasticity.

The authors' integrated and consistent style and unrivalled
engineering approach assures this book's unique position within the
computational mechanics literature.

Key features:

* Combines the two previous volumes into one heavily revised text
with obsolete material removed, an improved layout and updated
references and notations

* Extensive new material on more recent developments in
computational mechanics

* Easily readable, engineering oriented, with no more details in
the main text than necessary to understand the concepts.

* Pseudo-code throughout makes the link between theory and
algorithms, and the actual implementation.

* Accompanied by a website (www.wiley.com/go/deborst) with a
Python code, based on the pseudo-code within the book and suitable
for solving small-size problems.

Non-linear Finite Element Analysis of Solids and Structures, 2nd
Edition is an essential reference for practising engineers and
researchers that can also be used as a text for undergraduate and
graduate students within computational mechanics.
