This text extends applications of the finite element method from linear problems in elastic structures to a broad class of practical, nonlinear problems in continuum mechanics. Its general and unified
This introduction to the basic mathematical theory of the finite element method is geared toward readers with limited mathematical backgrounds. Its coherent demonstrations explain the use of these tec
This is a textbook written for use in a graduate-level course for students of mechanics and engineering science. It is designed to cover the essential features of modern variational methods and to dem
