Non-Linear Finite Element Analysis in Structural Mechanics

This monograph describes the numerical analysis of non-linearities in structural mechanics, i.e. large rotations, large strain (geometric non-linearities), non-linear material behaviour, in particular elasto-plasticity as well as time-dependent behaviour,

Preface

This textbook introduces into the theory of non-linear Finite Element Methods (FEM) in structural mechanics, divided into the main parts on geometric non-linearity, non-linear material behaviour and contact. While it is not possible to describe the total FEM of linear mechanics in one book, this is even more the case for the non-linear FEM, as “non-linear” is not a special property but means that the limiting assumptions, which for good reason dominate undergraduate studies in Technical Mechanics, are missing. This book should prepare the reader to work with advanced books and papers. The formulae used are intentionally derived in detail in order to enable the reader to
