Title Computational Contact and Impact Mechanics : Fundamentals of Modeling Interfacial Phenomena in Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis Author(s) Laursen, Tod A Publication Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2003. Description XV, 454 p : online resource Abstract Note This book comprehensively treats the formulation and finite element approximation of contact and impact problems in nonlinear mechanics. Intended for students, researchers and practitioners interested in numerical solid and structural analysis, as well as for engineers and scientists dealing with technologies in which tribological response must be characterized, the book includes an introductory but detailed overview of nonlinear finite element formulations before dealing with contact and impact specifically. Topics encompassed include the continuum mechanics, mathematical structure, variational framework, and finite element implementations associated with contact/impact interaction. Additionally, important and currently emerging research topics in computational contact mechanics are introduced, encompassing such topics as tribological complexity, conservative treatment of inelastic impact interaction, and novel spatial discretization strategies ISBN,Price 9783662048641 Keyword(s) 1.
