| Over the past four
decades computational methods in applied mechanics
have developed into valuable tools that are widely
used across both industry and academia. The
applications are numerous: aerospace structures, civil
engineering structures, geotechnics, flow problems,
automotive industry, geo-environmental modelling,
biomechanics, electromagnetism, metal forming, to name
but a few.
This three volume set provides the most
comprehensive and up-to-date collection of knowledge
about this increasingly important area of engineering
science. The Encyclopedia provides a well-rounded and
practical knowledge base that will serve as a
foundation for the reader's research and practice in
developing designs and in understanding, assessing and
managing numerical analysis systems.
Containing over 70 in-depth and thoroughly cross
referenced articles on key topics from internationally
renowned researchers, the Encyclopedia of
Computational Mechanics will cover three key
areas.
- Volume One: Fundamentals will cover the
basic concepts behind discretization, interpolation,
error estimation, solvers, computer algebra and
geometric modelling.
- Volume Two: Solids and Volume Three:
Fluids will build on this foundation with
extensive, in-depth coverage of industrial
applications.
- Volume Three:
The main readership for this book will be
researchers, research students (PhD. D. and
postgraduate) and professional engineers in industrial
and governmental laboratories. Academic interest will
stem from civil, mechanical, geomechanical,
biomedical, aerospace and chemical engineering
departments, through to the fields of applied
mathematics, computer science and physics.
