Solution methods for dynamic and non-linear finite element analysis
The computer analysis of structures and solids using finite element methods has now taken on very significant proportions. In many cases the safety of a structure may be significantly increased and its cost reduced if an appropriate finite element analysis can be and is performed. In the …
