Comprehensively introduces linear and
nonlinear structural analysis through mesh generation, solid mechanics
and a new numerical methodology called c-type finite element method. Takes
a self-contained approach of including all the essential background
materials such as differential geometry, mesh generation, tensor
analysis with particular elaboration on rotation tensor, finite element
methodology and numerical analysis for a thorough understanding of the
topics + Presents for the first time in closed form the geometric stiffness, the mass, the gyroscopic damping and the centrifugal stiffness matrices for beams, plates and shells + Includes numerous examples and exercises + Presents solutions for locking problems.
