Description 1 online resource (422 pages) : illustrations
Summary Bittnar and Sejnoha clearly examine the nature and theoretical basis of the most popular numerical methods in structural mechanics - the finite elementary method (FEM) and the boundary element method (BEM), while also presenting the most promising directions for future developments. Outlined are topics essential for students of elementary and intermediate courses on numerical methods in solid mechanics and an overview is given of the most vital areas of current research. The broad selection of examples illustrates various computational algorithms to compare their accuracy and efficiency, or to elucidate the mechanical processes under investigation. Traditional examples covered by standard textbooks have been deliberately omitted
A detailed presentation is offered of the fundamental equations in solid mechanics focusing on constitutive equations including quasibrittle materials. Details are provided on individual numerical algorithms, with a heavier emphasis placed on the understanding of basic principles
Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 397-407) and index
