Description
Springer Computational Statics And Dynamics An Introduction Based On The Finite Element Method 2nd Edition 2020 by Ochsner A.
This book is the 2nd edition of an introduction to modern computational mechanics based on the finite element method. It includes more details on the theory, more exercises, and more consistent notation; in addition, all pictures have been revised. Featuring more than 100 pages of new material, the new edition will help students succeed in mechanics courses by showing them how to apply the fundamental knowledge they gained in the first years of their engineering education to more advanced topics. _x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_In order to deepen readers' understanding of the equations and theories discussed, each chapter also includes supplementary problems. These problems start with fundamental knowledge questions on the theory presented in the respective chapter, followed by calculation problems. In total, over 80 such calculation problems are provided, along with brief solutions for each. _x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_This book is especially designed to meet the needs of Australian students, reviewing the mathematics covered in their first two years at university. The 13-week course comprises three hours of lectures and two hours of tutorials per week._x000D_ Table of contents :- Introduction to the Finite Element Method.- Rods and Trusses.- Euler-Bernoulli Beams and Frames.- Timoshenko Beams.- Plane Elements.- Classical Plate Elements.- Three-Dimensional Elements.- Principles of Linear Dynamics.- Integration Methods for Transient Problems.- Appendix A: Mathematics.- Appendix B: Mechanics.- Appendix C: Units and Conversion.- Appendix D: Summary of Stiffness Matrices.
