文档介绍：Designing ponents that make optimal use of materials re-
quires consideration of the nonlinear characteristics associated with both
the manufacturing and working environments. The increasing availability
puter software to ponent behavior implies the need for a
theoretical exposition applicable to both research and industry. By present-
ing the topics nonlinear continuum analysis and associated finite element
techniques in the same book, and Wood provide plete, clear,
and unified treatment of these important subjects.
After a gentle introduction and a chapter on mathematical preliminar-
ies, kinematics, stress, and equilibrium are considered. Hyperelasticity for
compressible and pressible materials includes descriptions in principal
directions, and a short appendix extends the kinematics to cater for elasto-
plastic deformation. Linearization of the equilibrium equations naturally
leads on to finite element discretization, equation solution, puter
implementation. The majority of chapters include worked examples and
exercises. In addition the book provides user instructions, program descrip-
tion, and examples for the puter implementation for which
the source code is available free on the .
This book is mended for postgraduate level study either by those
in higher education and research or in industry in mechanical, aerospace,
and civil engineering.
