Beschreibung

Hardcover. This second edition presents the theory of continuum mechanics using computational methods. The text covers a broad range of topics including general problems of large rotation and large deformations and the development and limitations of finite element formulations in solving such problems. Dr Shabana introduces theories on motion kinematics, strain, forces and stresses and goes on to discuss linear and nonlinear constitutive equations, including viscoelastic and plastic constitutive models. General nonlinear continuum mechanics theory is used to develop small and large finite element formulations which correctly describe rigid body motion for use in engineering applications. This second edition features a new chapter that focuses on computational geometry and finite element analysis. This book is ideal for graduate and undergraduate students, professionals and researchers who are interested in continuum mechanics. This text presents the theory of continuum mechanics using computational methods. Covered are general problems of large rotation and large deformations, the development of finite element formulations and the limitations of existing finite element formulations. This second edition features new material on computational geometry and finite element analysis. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
