- Title
- Application of Finite Element Method for Continuum Mechanics Problems
- Description
- General nonlinear equations for a continuum are formulated such that they are convenient for discretization by the finite element method. The resulting set of nonlinear algebraic or ordinary differential equations are linearized and solved by the parametric differentiation method. The scope of application of the procedure is very wide. Numerical examples are presented to indicate the scope. The results, in general, show excellent agreement with known solutions for one step or short range processes. For long range solutions, the incremental step becomes a critical factor.

- Abstract
- General nonlinear equations for a continuum are formulated such that they are convenient for discretization by the finite element method. The resulting set of nonlinear algebraic or ordinary differential equations are linearized and solved by the parametric differentiation method. The scope of application of the procedure is very wide. Numerical examples are presented to indicate the scope. The results, in general, show excellent agreement with known solutions for one step or short range processes. For long range solutions, the incremental step becomes a critical factor.
