Modern finite element analysis has grown into a basic mathematical tool for almost every field of engineering and the applied sciences. This introductory textbo

This book introduces the key concepts of nonlinear finite element analysis procedures. The book explains the fundamental theories of the field and provides inst

The book retains its strong conceptual approach, clearly examining the mathematical underpinnings of FEM, and providing a general approach of engineering applic

Finite element methods have become ever more important to engineers as tools for design and optimization, now even for solving non-linear technological problems

This monograph describes the numerical analysis of non-linearities in structural mechanics, i.e. large rotations, large strain (geometric non-linearities), non-
