Solution Mechanics

29 Hours Detailed Course Especially Designed for Automotive and Processing Engineers with the Understanding of CFD.

Fluid mechanics is an essential subject taught at degree level on engineering and science courses.

This volume provides insight into modelling and ultimate limit computation of complex structures, with their components represented by solid deformable bodies. The book examines practically all the important questions of current interests for nonlinear solid mechanics: plasticity, damage, large deformations, contact, dynamics, instability, localisation and failure, discrete models, multi-scale, multi-physics and parallel computing, with special attention given to finite element solution methods.

Laminate and sandwich structures are typical lightweight elements with rapidly ex­ panding application in various industrial fields.

This book addresses problems in three main developments in modern condensed matter physics– namely topological superconductivity, many-body localization and strongly interacting condensates/superfluids–by employing fruitful analogies from classical mechanics.
