Abstract
In the years since the fourth edition of this seminal work was published,
active research has developed the Finite Element Method into the pre-eminent
tool for the modelling of physical systems. Written by the pre-eminent
professors in their fields, this new edition of the Finite Element Method
maintains the comprehensive style of the earlier editions and authoritatively
incorporates the latest developments of this dynamic field. Expanded to three
volumes the book now covers the basis of the method and its application to
advanced solid mechanics and also advanced fluid dynamics. Volume Two: Solid
and Structural Mechanics is intended for readers studying structural mechanics
at a higher level. Although it is an ideal companion volume to Volume One: The
Basis, this advanced text also functions as a "stand-alone" volume, accessible
to those who have been introduced to the Finite Element Method through a
different route.
Volume 1 of the Finite Element Method provides a complete introduction to the
method and is essential reading for undergraduates, postgraduates and
professional engineers. Volume 3 covers the whole range of fluid dynamics and
is ideal reading for postgraduate students and professional engineers working
in this discipline.
Coverage of the concepts necessary to model behaviour, such as
viscoelasticity, plasticity and creep, as well as shells and plates.Up-to-date
coverage of new linked interpolation methods for shell and plate
formations.New material on non-linear geometry, stability and buckling of
structures and large deformations.
