The Finite Element Method for Solid and Structural Mechanics (Relié)

This key text and reference for engineers, researchers and senior students deals with the analysis and modelling of structures - from large civil engineering projects such as dams and aircraft structures, through to small engineered components. Since the publication of the first edition in 1967 complete stand-alone volume has evolved to cover the latest developments and the methods that are essential for engineers and mathematicians. Together with the first and third self-contained volumes, The Finite Element Method Set provides a formidable resource covering the theory and the application of FEM, including the basis of the method, its application to advanced solid and structural mechanics and to computational fluid dynamics.
