The perfect introduction to the theory and computer programming for the dynamic simulation of nonlinear solid mechanics.
The authors give a unified treatment of nonlinear solid mechanics, dynamic conservation laws, and the associated finite element techniques, alongside exercises, examples, and working code, to provide a self-contained introduction to the dynamic simulation of nonlinear solids suitable for beginning masters and PhD students.Designing engineering components that make optimal use of materials requires consideration of the nonlinear static and dynamic characteristics associated with both manufacturing and working environments. The modeling of these characteristics can only be done through numerical formulation and simulation, which requires an understanding of both the theoretical background and associated computer solution techniques. By presenting nonlinear solid mechanics, dynamic conservation laws and principles, and the associated finite element techniques together, the authors provide in this second book a unified treatment of the dynamic simulation of nonlinear solids. Alongside a number of worked examples and exercises are user instructions, program descriptions, and examples for two MATLAB computer implementations for which source codes are available online. While this book is designed to complement postgraduate courses, it is also relevant to those in industry requiring an appreciation of the way their computer simulation programs work.
'… the software can be useful to readers in testing different options of the codes, building their own simple examples, and acquiring some additional experience and knowledge about continuum mechanics and numerical methods for their simulations.'
