Introduction to the Explicit Finite Element Method for Nonlinear Transient Dynamics
von Shen R. Wu und Lei GuA systematic introduction to the theories and formulations ofthe explicit finite element method
As numerical technology continues to grow and evolve withindustrial applications, understanding the explicit finite elementmethod has become increasingly important, particularly in the areasof crashworthiness, metal forming, and impact engineering. Introduction to the Explicit Finite Element Method forNonlinear Transient Dynamics is the first book to addressspecifically what is now accepted as the most successful numericaltool for nonlinear transient dynamics. The book aids readers inmastering the explicit finite element method and programming codewithout requiring extensive background knowledge of the generalfinite element.
The authors present topics relating to the variationalprinciple, numerical procedure, mechanical formulation, andfundamental achievements of the convergence theory. In addition, key topics and techniques are provided in four clearly organizedsections:
* Fundamentals explores a framework of the explicitfinite element method for nonlinear transient dynamics andhighlights achievements related to the convergence theory
* Element Technology discusses four-node, three-node, eight-node, and two-node element theories
* Material Models outlines models of plasticity andother nonlinear materials as well as the mechanics model of ductiledamage
* Contact and Constraint Conditions covers subjectsrelated to three-dimensional surface contact, with examples solvedanalytically, as well as discussions on kinematic constraintconditions
Throughout the book, vivid figures illustrate the ideas and keyfeatures of the explicit finite element method. Examples clearlypresent results, featuring both theoretical assessments andindustrial applications.
Introduction to the Explicit Finite Element Method forNonlinear Transient Dynamics is an ideal book for bothengineers who require more theoretical discussions and fortheoreticians searching for interesting and challenging researchtopics. The book also serves as an excellent resource for courseson applied mathematics, applied mechanics, and numerical methods atthe graduate level.
