Book Descriptions:

The finite element method (FEM) is a computational tool widely used to design and analyse complex structures. Currently, there are a number of different approaches to analysis using the FEM that vary according to the type of structure being analysed: beams and plates may use 1D or 2D approaches, shells and solids 2D or 3D approaches, and methods that work for one structure are typically not optimized to work for another.

"Finite Element Analysis of Structures Through Unified Formulation" deals with the FEM used for the analysis of the mechanics of structures in the case of linear elasticity. The novelty of this book is that the finite elements (FEs) are formulated on the basis of a class of theories of structures known as the Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF). It formulates 1D, 2D and 3D FEs on the basis of the same 'fundamental nucleus' that comes from geometrical relations and Hooke's law, and presents both 1D and 2D refined FEs that only have displacement variables as in 3D elements. It also covers 1D and 2D FEs that make use of 'real' physical surfaces rather than 'artificial' mathematical surfaces which are difficult to interface in CAD/CAE software.

Key features: Covers how the refined formulation can be easily and conveniently used to analyse laminated structures, such as sandwich and composite structures, and to deal with multifield problems Shows the performance of different FE models through the 'best theory diagram' which allows different models to be compared in terms of accuracy and computational cost Introduces an axiomatic/asymptotic approach that reduces the computational cost of the structural analysis without affecting the accuracy Introduces an innovative 'component-wise' approach to deal with complex structures Accompanied by a website hosting the dedicated software package MUL2 (www.mul2.com)

"Finite Element Analysis of Structures" "Through Unified Formulation" is a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners, and is also a useful source of information for graduate students in civil, mechanical and aerospace engineering.

From reader reviews:

Mellisa White:

The book Finite Element Analysis of Structures through Unified Formulation can give more knowledge and information about everything you want. Why must we leave a good thing like a book Finite Element Analysis of Structures through Unified Formulation? Some of you have a different opinion about guide. But one aim this book can give many info for us. It is absolutely correct. Right now, try to closer with the book. Knowledge or facts that you take for that, it is possible to give for each other; you may share all of these. Book Finite Element Analysis of Structures through Unified Formulation has simple shape however, you know: it has great and large function for you. You can look the enormous world by open up and read a reserve. So it is very wonderful.

Myrtle Brown:

This Finite Element Analysis of Structures through Unified Formulation book is simply not ordinary book, you have after that it the world is in your hands. The benefit you will get by reading this book is information inside this guide incredible fresh, you will get facts which is getting deeper you read a lot of information you will get. This Finite Element Analysis of Structures through Unified Formulation without we recognize teach the one who studying it become critical in pondering and analyzing. Don't always be worry Finite Element Analysis of Structures through Unified Formulation can bring when you are and not make your handbag space or bookshelves' come to be full because you can have it within your lovely laptop even telephone. This Finite Element Analysis of Structures through Unified Formulation having good arrangement in word as well as layout, so you will not feel uninterested in reading.

Evan Reyes:

Many people spending their period by playing outside along with friends, fun activity together with family or just watching TV the whole day. You can have new activity to enjoy your whole day by looking at a book. Ugh, do you consider reading a book really can hard because you have to take the book everywhere? It okay you can have the e-book, bringing everywhere you want in your Smart phone. Like Finite Element Analysis of Structures through Unified Formulation which is having the e-book version. So , why not try out this book? Let's notice.

Joyce Jiminez:

As a pupil exactly feel bored to reading. If their teacher expected them to go to the library or even make summary for some reserve, they are complained. Just tiny students that has reading's internal or real their pastime. They just do what the educator want, like asked to go to the library. They go to there but nothing reading seriously. Any students feel that studying is not important, boring and can't see colorful images on there. Yeah, it is to be complicated. Book is very important to suit your needs. As we know that on this era, many ways to get whatever you want. Likewise word says, ways to reach Chinese's country. So , this Finite Element Analysis of Structures through Unified Formulation can make you sense more interested to read.
