Nonlinear Continuum Mechanics for Finite Element Analysis
Nonlinear Continuum Mechanics for Finite Element Analysis
By Javier Bonet, Richard D. Wood
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Number Of Pages: 338

Binding: Hardcover
The first edition of this successful text considered nonlinear geometrical behavior and nonlinear hyperelastic materials, and the numerics needed to model such phenomena. By presenting both nonlinear continuum analysis and associated finite element techniques in one, Bonet and Wood provide, in the new edition of this successful text, a complete, clear, and unified treatment of these important subjects. New chapters dealing with hyperelastic plastic behavior are included, and the authors have thoroughly updated the FLagSHyP program, freely accessible at www.flagshyp.com.
Summary: Excellent book
Rating: 5
Bonet and Wood have written an excellent book. I thank them for
writing such a wonderful book. Every student who wants to learn nonlinear mechanics should have this book. I am saying this because
I am also a student and I know what a student expects from a book.
Summary: nice introduction to nonlinear elasticity
Rating: 4
The book is a nice pedagogic introduction to nonlinear elasticity. It lays out the principles clearly supported with good examples, something you won`t be able to find in many other books.
Some previous reviews criticizes the book for not covering anisotropy or plasticity, but the book is simply intended to cover the principles of large deformation elasticity. From that point of view, anisotropy is a case where you have the same formulas but more constants. And plasticity, as the name reveals, is NOT elasticity. There are plenty of plasticity models out there and interested reader should find the proper source for those. Unlike what a previous reviewer says, hyperelasticity is NOT “exceedengly simple”, and is a fairly general form of elasticity. It is widely used in many engineering materials and covered in detail in this book.
Summary: Good book and a gentle introduction to solid mechanics
Rating: 4
Good book and gentle introduction to computational and theoretical aspects of nonlinear solid mechanics with large deformation. I downloaded also the code mentioned, and it is great fun playing with it.
Summary: Does a good job with the fundamentals
Rating: 5
This book does well with the principles of finite deformation. From its first few chapters which enter into the preliminaries of finite deformation to its final chapters which transform the theory of finite deformation into a workable finite element code. If you are interested in going from the theory to the finite element code, this book is for you. The book uses a finite deformation (hyperelastic and isotropic) finite element code to teach you all of the subroutines required. The book references a website where you can download the source code. The only major weakness of the book is the fact that the book ultimately assumes an isotropic material to carry the theory forward.
Summary: Very Good Starting Point to Nonlinear Analysis
Rating: 5
This is a very good introductory book to the subject of nonlinear continuum mechanics focusing on finite element applications. It fills the gap existing among different books treating this subject. The approach to Directional Derivative is quite general and very interesting. I would recommend this book for a first course in Nonlinear Continuum Mechanics.
