Nonlinear Solid Mechanics for Finite Element Analysis: Statics (Bonet, Gil and Wood)

Designing engineering components that make optimal use of materials requires consideration of the nonlinear static and dynamic characteristics associated with both manufacturing and working environments. The modeling of these can only be done through numerical formulation and simulation, which requires an understanding of the theoretical background and associated computer solution techniques. Alongside a range of worked examples and exercises are user instructions, program descriptions, and examples for the FLagSHyp MATLAB computer program implementation for static simulation, for which the source code is available below. By presenting both nonlinear continuum analysis and associated finite element techniques together the authors provide, in the first of two books in this series, a complete, clear, and unified treatment of the static aspects of nonlinear solid mechanics.

Nonlinear Solid Mechanics for Finite Element Analysis: Dynamics (Bonet, Gil and Wood)

By presenting,in the second text in this series, nonlinear solid mechanics, dynamic conservation laws and principles, and the associated finite element techniques together, the authors provide a unified treatment of the dynamic simulation of nonlinear solids. Alongside numerous worked examples and exercises are user instructions, program descriptions, and examples for two MATLAB computer implementations for dynamic simulation with source code available below and online. While both books are designed to complement postgraduate courses, they are also relevant to industry professionals requiring an appreciation of the way their computer simulation programs work.

Worked Examples in Nonlinear Continuum Mechanics for Finite Element Analysis (Bonet, Gil and Wood)

This book provides a complete set of exercises and solutions in the field of theoretical and computational nonlinear solid mechanics and is the companion to the above statics text book. It employs notation consistent with the text 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. More information can be found from Cambridge University Press click here
