Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

The advent of the digital computer has given great impetus to the development of modern discretization methods in structural mechanics. The young history of the finite element method (FEM) reflects the dramatic increase of computing speed and storage capacity within a relatively short period of time. The history of the boundary element method (BEM) is still younger. Presently, intense scientific efforts aimed at extending the range of application of the BEM can be observed. More than 10 years ago, O.C. Zienkiewicz and his co-workers published the first papers on the coupling of FE and BE discretizations of subregions of solids for the purpose of exploiting the complementary advantages of the two discretization methods and reducing their disadvantages. The FEM has revolutionized structural analysis in industry as well as academia. The BEM has a fair share in the continuation of this revolution. Both discretization methods have become a domain of vigorous, world-wide research activities. The rapid increase of the number of specialized journals and scientific meetings indicates the remarkable increase of research efforts in this important subdolll.ain of computational ulechanics. Several discussions of this situation in the Committee for Discretization Methods ill Solid Mechanics of the Society for Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (GAMM) resulted in the plan to submit a proposal to the General Assembly of the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (IUTAM) to sponsor a pertinent IUTAM Symposium.

Reseña del editor

The purpose of the book is to report on recent research results, presented at the IUTAM Symposium in Vienna in June 1989. All important aspects of discretization methods in structural mechanics are covered, beginning with the mathematical and mechanical fundamentals and followed by the consideration of different types of structural members. The most important feature of the book is that the two most powerful discretization methods are treated in one book, namely the finite element methods (FEM) and the boundary element methods (BEM). Moreover, combinations of these two methods are considered. The customers can derive the benefit from the book that its contents reflects the forefront of scientific research in a field which is characterized by vigorous, world-wide research activities.
