Some issues in numerical simulation of nonlinear structural response
The development of commercial finite element software is addressed. This software provides practical tools that are used in an astonishingly wide range of engineering applications that include critical aspects of the safety evaluation of nuclear power plants or of heavily loaded offshore structures...

The development of commercial finite element software is addressed. This software provides practical tools that are used in an astonishingly wide range of engineering applications that include critical aspects of the safety evaluation of nuclear power plants or of heavily loaded offshore structures in the hostile environments of the North Sea or the Arctic, major design activities associated with the development of airframes for high strength and minimum weight, thermal analysis of electronic components, and the design of sports equipment. In the more advanced application areas, the effectiveness of the product depends critically on the quality of the mechanics and mechanics related algorithms that are implemented. Algorithmic robustness is of primary concern. Those methods that should be chosen will maximize reliability with minimal understanding on the part of the user. Computational efficiency is also important because there are always limited resources, and hence problems that are too time consuming or costly. Finally, some areas where research work will provide new methods and improvements is discussed. |
