Opis

This book presents the fundamentals of nonlinear mechanics within a modern computational approach　based mainly on finite element methods. Both material and geometric nonlinearities are treated. The topics build up from the mechanics of finite deformation of solid bodies through to nonlinear structural behaviour including buckling, bifurcation and snap-through. The principles are illustrated with a series of solved problems.　This book　serves as a text book for a second year graduate course and as a reference for practitioners using nonlinear analysis in engineering and design.
