Synopsis

This is the key text and reference for engineers, researchers and senior students dealing with the analysis and modelling of structures – from large civil engineering projects such as dams, to aircraft structures, through to small engineered components. Covering small and large deformation behaviour of solids and structures, it is an essential book for engineers and mathematicians. The new edition is a complete solids and structures text and reference in its own right and forms part of the world-renowned Finite Element Method series by Zienkiewicz and Taylor.

New material in this edition includes separate coverage of solid continua and structural theories of rods, plates and shells; extended coverage of plasticity (isotropic and anisotropic); node-to-surface and 'mortar' method treatments; problems involving solids and rigid and pseudo-rigid bodies; and multi-scale modelling.

• Dedicated coverage of solid and structural mechanics by world-renowned authors, Zienkiewicz and Taylor
• New material including separate coverage of solid continua and structural theories of rods, plates and shells; extended coverage for small and finite deformation; elastic and inelastic material constitution; contact modelling; problems involving solids, rigid and discrete elements; and multi-scale modelling

About this title

Review:

The leading source on solid mechanics FEM, by two of the subject's pioneers

From the Back Cover:

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 software

Together 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.|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.
