Itdeals with non standard mechanics which frequently appear in realtechnical applications. Examples include the simulation of carcrashes, human joints, car tyres, rubber seals and metal formingprocesses. Modern numerical simulation methods are used to modelthese objects and their behaviour.\u003cbr\u003e Contact problems are an area of great technical importance inindustrial applications in mechanical and civil engineering,however only very few problems involving contact can be solvedanalytically. For most industrial applications, numerical methodshave to be applied since the contacting bodies have complexgeometries, undergo large deformations (including time dependentresponses) or are affected by other factors. The range ofapplications starts with relatively simple problems such asfoundations or bearings, and includes metal forming processes,rubber sealings, drilling problems, crash analysis of cars, andeven biomechanics, where human joints, implants or teeth are underconsideration. Although other numerical and analytical schemes canalso be used, this book concentrates mainly on finite elementtechniques for the treatment of contact problems, including newapproaches such as adaptive finite element methods.\u003cbr\u003e * At the cutting edge of an area of significant (and growing)interest in computational mechanics\u003cbr\u003e * Covers the theoretical background of simulations and discussesmodern numerical simulation methods\u003cbr\u003e * Relates to many engineering applications\u003cbr\u003e A valuable reference resource for graduate and postgraduatestudents, as well as engineers involved in numerical simulation inindustry (e.g. aeronautics, car and tyre design, biomechanics,metal forming).\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Introduction.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Introduction to Contact Mechanics.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Continuum Solid Mechanics and Weak Forms.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Contact Kinematics.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Constitutive Equations for Contact Interfaces.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Contact Boundary Value Problem and Weak Form.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Discretization of the Continuum.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Discretization, Small Deformation Contact.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Discretization, Large Deformation Contact.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Solution Algorithms.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Thermo-mechanical Contact.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Beam Contact.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Adaptive Finite Element Methods for Contact Problems.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Computation of Critical Points with Contact Constraints.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendix A: Gauss Integration Rules.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendix B: Convective Coordinates.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendix C: Parameter Identification for Friction Materials.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e References.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Mechanical engineering \u0026amp; materials [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Mechanical engineering \u0026amp; materials\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Mechanical%20engineering%20\u0026amp;%20materials%20%5BTG%5D%22\"\u003eTG\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52293495390488,"sku":"9780471496809","price":98.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471496809.jpg?v=1781642427","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/computational-contact-mechanics-hardback-9780471496809","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
