Advances In Computational Engineering Science

Advances in Computational Engineering Science

Computational Modelling and Simulation have been increasingly playing a key role in engineering and sciences. They can be applied to many of the primary engineering disciplines, including Aerospace, Bio-medical, Civil, Chemical, Mechanical, and Material Engineering and many others. This book on Advances in Computational Engineering Science (ACES) is dedicated to our professor and friend, G. R. Liu, together with the 8th International Conference on Computational Methods held in Guilin, China, to celebrate his 60th birthday and in honor of his numerous, important, and sustained contributions to the field of computational engineering science, especially the original and pioneering works on Smoothed Finite Element Methods (S-FEMs), Smoothed Point Interpolation Methods (S-PIMs), Meshfree and Particle Methods, Methods for Inverse Analysis and Optimization, and in general areas of Computational Methods.

Classical And Computational Solid Mechanics (Second Edition)

The second edition provides an update of the recent developments in classical and computational solid mechanics. The structure of the book is also updated to include five new areas: Fundamental Principles of Thermodynamics and Coupled Thermoelastic Constitutive Equations at Large Deformations, Functional Thermodynamics and Thermoviscoelasticity, Thermodynamics with Internal State Variables and Thermo-Elasto-Viscoplasticity, Electro-Thermo-Viscoelasticity/Viscoplasticity, and Meshless Method. These new topics are added as self-contained sections or chapters. Many books in the market do not cover these topics.This invaluable book has been written for engineers and engineering scientists in a style that is readable, precise, concise, and practical. It gives the first priority to the formulation of problems, presenting the classical results as the gold standard, and the numerical approach as a tool for obtaining solutions.
