Nonlinear Continuum Mechanics for Finite Element Analysis


Product Description
Designing engineering components that make optimal use of materials requires consideration of the nonlinear characteristics associated with both manufacturing and working environments. The modeling of these characteristics can only be done through numerical formulation and simulation, and this requires an understanding of both the theoretical background and associated computer solution techniques. By presenting both nonlinear continuum analysis and associated finite element techniques under one roof, Bonet and Wood provide, in the new edition of this successful text, a complete, clear, and unified treatment of these important subjects. New chapters dealing with hyperelastic plastic behavior are included, and the authors have thoroughly updated the FLagSHyP program, freely accessible at www.flagshyp.com. Worked examples and exercises complete each chapter, making the text an essential resource for postgraduates studying nonlinear continuum mechanics. It is also ideal for those in industry requiring an appreciation of the way in which their computer simulation programs work.Nonlinear Continuum Mechanics for Finite Element Analysis Review
This is possibly the clearest textbook exposition of the fundamentals of nonlinear mechanics that I have seen. The various finite deformation tensors are developed thoroughly but from initially simple systems in a manner that should be accessible to senior students. These fundamentals are then applied to the increasingly-important class of hyperelastic materials, a fairly recent development in many FE codes but with applications ranging from vehicle tyres, to running shoes to biomedical implants.Unlike many texts, this book does not attempt to address the whole field of continuum mechanics and, in particular, does not really consider inelasticity or fluids. This helps keep the cost down to a level that students might afford.An alternative might be Mase's 'Continuum Mechanics' (Shaum's Outline Series), which does not however include the finite element aspects.
