The Finite Element Method for Solid and Structural Mechanics (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Finite Element Method for Solid and Structural Mechanics is the key text and reference for engineers, researchers and senior students dealing with the analysis and modeling of structures, from large civil engineering projects such as dams to aircraft structures and small engineered components.

This edition brings a thorough update and rearrangement of the book's content, including new chapters on:

• Material constitution using representative volume elements
• Differential geometry and calculus on manifolds
• Background mathematics and linear shell theory

Focusing on the core knowledge, mathematical and analytical tools needed for successful structural analysis and modeling, The Finite Element Method for Solid and Structural Mechanics is the authoritative resource of choice for graduate level students, researchers and professional engineers.

• A proven keystone reference in the library of any engineer needing to apply the finite element method to solid mechanics and structural design
• Founded by an influential pioneer in the field and updated in this seventh edition by an author team incorporating academic authority and industrial simulation experience
• Features new chapters on topics including material constitution using representative volume elements, as well as consolidated and expanded sections on rod and shell models

Autorenporträt

Professor O.C. Zienkiewicz, CBE, FRS, FREng died on 2 January 2009. Prior to his death he was Professor Emeritus at the Civil and Computational Engineering Centre, University of Wales Swansea and previously was Director of the Institute for Numerical Methods in Engineering at the University of Wales Swansea, UK. He also held the UNESCO Chair of Numerical Methods in Engineering at the Technical University of Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain. He was the head of the Civil Engineering Department at the University of Wales Swansea between 1961 and 1989. During this period he established that department as one of the primary centres of finite element research. In 1968 he became the Founder Editor of the International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering which still remains today the major journal in this field. The recipient of 27 honorary degrees and many medals, Professor Zienkiewicz was a member of five academies - an honour he received for his many contributions to the fundamental developments of the finite element method. In 1978, he became a Fellow of the Royal Society and the Royal Academy of Engineering. This was followed by his election as a foreign member to the US National Academy of Engineering (1981), the Polish Academy of Science (1985), the Chinese Academy of Sciences (1998), and the National Academy of Science, Italy (Academia dei Lincei) (1999). He published the first edition of this book in 1967 and it remained the only book on the subject until 1971.
