This updated, revised and extended edition gives a comprehensive introduction to the understanding and use of the finite element method as applied to structures. The text methodically covers all the important bridges in understanding up to and including the introduction of isoparametric elements...

This book weaves together the basic concepts, mathematical fundamentals, and formulations of micromechanics into a systemic approach for understanding and modeling the effective material behavior of composite materials. As various emerging composite materials have been increasingly used in civil, me..

Introductory Finite Element Method examines both structural analysis and flow applications in a presentation designed for upper-level undergraduate and beginning graduate students, both within and outside of the engineering disciplines. It includes a chapter on variational calculus, clearly presente..

The book provides valuable knowledge and information for researchers, students, and practitioners to promote and advance research and applications in the field of life-cycle civil engineering. The chapters originally published as a special issue in Structure and Infrastructure Engineering...
