3rd edition, reprinted, 1985 Contents, Chapitres : Preface, Acknowledgments, Contents, Symbols, xv, Text, 787 pages - Some preliminaries, the standard discrete system - Finite element of an elastic continuum, displacement approach - Generalization of the finite element concepts, Weighted residual and variationnal approaches - Plane stress and plane strain - Axi-symmetry stress analysis - Three-dimensional stress analysis - Element shape functions, some general families on C° continuity - Curved, isoparametric elements and numerical integration - Some applications of isoparametric elements in two or three dimensional stress analysis - Bending of thin plates, a C1 continuity problem - Non-conforming elements, substitute shape functions, reduced integration and similar useful tricks - Lagrangian constraints in energy principles of elasticity, complete field and interface variable, hybrid methods - Shells as an assembly of flat elements - Axi-symmetric shells - Semi-analytical finite element processes, use of orthogonal functions - Shells as a special case of three-dimensional analysis - Steady state field problems, heat conduction, electric potential, fluid flow - Nonlinear material problems, plasticity, creep, nonlinear field problems - Geometrically non-linear problems - The time dimension semi-discretization of field and dynamic problems and analytical solution procedures - The time dimension finite element approximation to initial value-transient problems - Flow of viscous fluids, some special problems of convective transport - Boundary solution processes and the finite element method infinite domains, singularity in fracture mechanics - Computer procedures for finite element analysis - Appendix - Index the dust-jacket is rather fine and complete, inside is fine but there is a stamp in filigrane on the first page (private collection), no other markings, it remains a near fine copy of the 1985 edition, one of the most complete of this work first published in 1967
