Opis

This book provides readers with the information necessary to choose appropriate numerical methods to solve a variety of engineering problems. The book details the finite element method (FEM), finite volume method (FVM) and importantly, a new numerical approach, dual mesh control domain method (DMCDM).

O autorze

J. N. Reddy, the O’Donnell Foundation Chair IV Professor in J. Mike Walker
’66 Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University, is a
highly-cited researcher, author of 25 textbooks and over 800 journal papers,
and a leader in the applied mechanics field for more than 50 years. He is
well-known worldwide for his significant contributions to the field of applied
and computational mechanics through the authorship of widely used textbooks
on mechanics of materials, continuum mechanics, linear and nonlinear finite
element analyses, variational methods, numerical methods, and composite materials
and structures. His pioneering works on the development of shear deformation
theories of beams, plates, and shells (that bear his name in the literature
as the Reddy third-order plate theory and the Reddy layerwise theory), nonlocal
and non-classical continuum mechanics have had a major impact, and have led
to new research developments and applications. Some of his ideas on shear deformation
theories and penalty finite element models of fluid flows have been
implemented into commercial finite element software like Abaqus, NISA, and
HyperXtrude (Altair).
