OVERVIEW

The ultimate resource for an increasingly important area of engineering science…

Over the past four decades computational methods in applied mechanics have developed into valuable tools that are widely used across both industry and academia. The applications are numerous ranging through aerospace and civil engineering structures, geotechnics, flow problems, automotive engineering, geo-environmental modelling, biomechanics, electromagnetism, metal forming and numerous other fields.

Edited and written by a team of world-renowned authorities, the Encyclopedia of Computational Mechanics provides the most comprehensive collection of knowledge about the theory and practice of computational mechanics.

Offering an in-depth, practical source of information, this landmark reference provides a firm foundation for the reader's research and practice in developing designs and in understanding, assessing and managing numerical analysis systems.


An invaluable reference for engineering research and development…

An essential reference for researchers, research students and professional engineers working in industrial and governmental laboratories, the Encyclopedia of Computational Mechanics also provides valuable information for consulting engineers and software developers employed in the aeronautical, nuclear, naval, biomechanical, electrical, automotive and environmental sectors.

Civil, mechanical, geomechanical, biomedical, aerospace and chemical engineering departments, as well as those studying applied mathematics, computer science and physics will find the Encyclopedia a welcome addition to their libraries.
