Knoxville! USA Informationen zum Autor Allan Bower is a professor of engineering at Brown University, where he teaches in the undergraduate mechanical engineering program and the graduate program in mechanics of solids. He earned undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Cambridge and spent a short period on the faculty at Cambridge before joining Brown in 1992. His research involves developing and using computer simulations to model deformation and failure in materials. Applications of interest include modeling wear, plasticity, and contact fatigue between contacting surfaces; fracture in composites and ceramics; and mechanical failure processes in microelectronic circuits. Klappentext Complemented by the author's Web site, this book offers a crucial overview of problem solving for solid mechanics. It will help readers make optimal use of commercial finite element programs to achieve the most accurate prediction results possible. Zusammenfassung Beginning with a description of the physical and mathematical laws that govern deformation in solids, this text offers an introduction to the concepts, analytical techniques, and numerical methods used to analyze deformation, stress, and failure in materials or components. It also discusses the use of finite element software for stress analysis. Inhaltsverzeichnis Overview of Solid Mechanics. Governing Equations.
