Numerical Methods in Structural Mechanics
1996,
422 pages, hardcover
$92.00
This book provides a clear understanding of the nature and theoretical basis of the most widely used numerical methods—the finite element method (FEM) and the boundary element method (BEM)—while at the same time presenting the most promising directions for future developments. Attention is paid mainly to those methods that have proven to be the most reliable and efficient, as well as those methods currently under rapid development. Examples were selected either to illustrate various computational algorithms and compare their accuracy and efficacy or to elucidate the mechanical processes under investigation, while traditional examples that are already covered by standard textbooks have been deliberately omitted. Emphasis is placed on the understanding of basic principles, rather than on the details of individual numerical algorithms. The book covers all topics essential for students of elementary and intermediate courses on numerical methods in solid mechanics, and it also serves as a useful reference for researchers and other professionals. This book was recently translated from the highly regarded, original Czech edition.
