Onate, EugenioUnknown
International Center for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE) (Barcelona, 2013) (eng) English9781402087424Lecture notes on numerical methods in engineering and sciences1st ed.STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS (ENGINEERING); Unknown Volume 2 presents a detailed description of the finite element formulation for analysis of slender and thick beams, thin and thick plates, folded plate structures, axisymmetric shells, general curved shells, prismatic structures and three dimensional beams. Each chapter describes the background theory for each structural model considered, details of the finite element formulation and guidelines for the application to structural engineering problems Emphasis is put on the treatment of structures with layered composite materials. The book will be useful for students approaching the finite element analysis of beam, plate and shell structures for the first time, as well as for practicing engineers interested in the details of the formulation and performance of the different finite elements for practical structural analysis.
