Nonlinear Solid Mechanics : Theoretical Formulations and Finite Element Solution Methods

Abstract

The main purpose of this book is to present all the ingredients forconstructing the numerical models for representing the complex nonlinearbehavior of structures and their components, which are representedas deformable solid bodies. Nonetheless, the book will also proveuseful for those mostly interested in linear problems of mechanics,since the sure way to obtain a sound theoretical formulation of alinear problem goes through the consistent linearization of the moregeneral nonlinear problem.The original French edition published....
