The Finite Element Method for Solid and Structural Mechanics, Seventh Edition 7th edition by Zienkiewicz, Olek C, Taylor, Robert L, David D. Fox (2013) Hardcover

by O.C. Zienkiewicz

This key text and reference for engineers, researchers and senior students deals with the analysis and modelling of structures — from large civil engineering projects such as dams and aircraft structures, through to small engineered components. Since the publication of the first edition in 1967, this complete stand-alone volume has evolved to cover the latest developments and methods that are essential for engineers and mathematicians. Dedicated coverage of solid and structural mechanics by world-renowned authors New material including separate coverage of solid continua and structural theories of rods, plates and shells; extended coverage of small and finite deformation; elastic and inelastic material constitution; contact modelling; problems involving solids, rigid and discrete elements; and multi-scale modelling Accompanied by downloadable softwareTogether with the first and third self-contained volumes, The Finite Element Method Set provides a formidable resource covering the theory and the application of FEM, including the basis of the method, its application to advanced solid and structural mechanics and to computational fluid dynamics.
