The Finite Element Method for Mechanics of Solids with ANSYS Applications

The finite element method (FEM) has become the standard method used by engineers for the solution of static and dynamic problems for elastic and inelastic structures and machines. This volume explores the theory behind the method and instruction in use of ANSYS^(R), a commonly used commercial finite element program. Totally self contained, the book provides the necessary background on solid mechanics (elasticity, plasticity, viscoelasticity) and mathematics. It includes theory and examples and contains detailed instructions for solutions using ANSYS for problems involving small- and large-deformation elasticity, plasticity, viscoelasticity, vibrations, and wave propagation, as well as fracture mechanics, building, plates and shells, and contact.
