Mike A. Crisfield – författare

Built upon the two original books by Mike Crisfield and their own lecture notes, renowned scientist René de Borst and his team offer a thoroughly updated yet condensed edition that retains and builds upon the excellent reputation and appeal amongst students and engineers alike for which Crisfield's first edition is acclaimed.Together with numerous additions and updates, the new authors have retained the core content of the original publication, while bringing an improved focus on new developments and ideas. This edition offers the latest insights in non-linear finite element technology, including non-linear solution strategies, computational plasticity, damage mechanics, time-dependent effects, hyperelasticity and large-strain elasto-plasticity.The authors' integrated and consistent style and unrivalled engineering approach assures this book's unique position within the computational mechanics literature.Key features: Combines the two previous volumes into one heavily revised text with obsolete material removed, an improved layout and updated references and notationsExtensive new material on more recent developments in computational mechanicsEasily readable, engineering oriented, with no more details in the main text than necessary to understand the concepts.Pseudo-code throughout makes the link between theory and algorithms, and the actual implementation.Accompanied by a website (www.wiley.com/go/deborst) with a Python code, based on the pseudo-code within the book and suitable for solving small-size problems.Non-linear Finite Element Analysis of Solids and Structures, 2nd Edition is an essential reference for practising engineers and researchers that can also be used as a text for undergraduate and graduate students within computational mechanics.

Echte Ingenieursprobleme sind intrinsisch nichtlinear. Kennnisse der nichtlinearen Finiten-Elemente-Analyse sind für Maschinenbauer, Bauingenieure und Werkstofftechniker daher unabdingbar. Mit ihrer Hilfe lassen sich mechanische Festigkeitsberechnungen durchführen, zeit- und kostenintensive Tests bei der Produktentwicklung werden so reduziert. Didaktisch schlüssig vom Modell und dessen theoretischer Durchdringung bis zum Algorithmus und dessen praktischer Implementierung bietet dieses Buch eine Einführung in die nichtlineare Finite-Elemente-Analyse ? leicht zugänglich, kompakt und auf die technische Ausrichtung fokussiert: - mathematische und kontinuumsmechanische Grundlagen, Lösungstechniken für nichtlineare Probleme in der statischen und dynamischen Analyse - erste Einblicke in geometrische Nichtlinearitäten - Schädigung, Plastizität und zeitabhängige Nichtlinearitäten - Plastizität von Balken, Bögen und Schalen - elastische und elastoplastische Finite-Elemente-Analyse großer Dehnungen - Einführung in moderne Diskretisierungskonzepte Hilfreich fürs Bestehen von Prüfungen sind die Beispiele im frei erhältlichen Finite-Elemente-Code auf Python?-Basis. Das dazugehörige Hintergrundwissen macht den User mit den Möglichkeiten und Grenzen moderner Finite-Elemente-Software vertraut. Der ideale Einstieg in die nichtlineare Finite-Elemente-Analyse für Studenten und Praktiker ? mit so viel Mathematik wie nötig und so vielen realen Ingenieursproblemen wie möglich.
