Mastering Calculations in Linear and Nonlinear Mechanics

Download or read book Mastering Calculations in Linear and Nonlinear Mechanics written by Pierre Ladevèze and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-03-30 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the management of calculations in linear and nonlinear mechanics. Particular attention is given to error estimators and indicators for structural analysis. The accent is on the concept of error in constitutive relation. An important part of the work is also devoted to the utilization of the error estimators involved in a calculation, beginning with the parameters related to the mesh. Many of the topics are taken from the most recent research by the authors: local error estimators, extention of the concept of error in constitutive relation to nonlinear evolution problems and dynamic problems, adaptive improvement of calculations in nonlinear mechanics. This work is intended for all those interested in mechanics: students, researchers and engineers concerned with the construction of models as well as their simulation for industrial purposes.
