This book details a systematic characteristics-based finite element procedure to investigate incompressible, free-surface and compressible flows.

Synthesizing topics in mathematical programming with soft computing and proper orthogonal decomposition, this monograph shows with consistency the methods to use and the problems that need tackling in structural analyses. Examples and exercises are included.

Focusing on the fundamentals of shell theories, their mathematical bases and finite element discretizations, this updated and authoritative edition includes major new additions on areas including 3-D shell models, dynamic analyses and triangular elements.

This book is the first to apply the Spectral Finite Element Method (SFEM) to inhomogeneous and anisotropic structures in a unified and systematic manner. Readers will gain understanding of how to formulate Spectral Finite Element; learn about wave behaviour in inhomogeneous and anisotropic media;

Offers a presentation of Continuum Mechanics, oriented towards numerical applications in the nonlinear analysis of solids, structures and fluid mechanics. This book develops general curvilinear coordinator kinematics of the continuum deformation using general curvilinear coordinates.

This book presents two interconnected mathematical models generalizing the Navier-Stokes system. The models, called the quasi-gas-dynamic and quasi-hydrodynamic equations, are then used as the basis of numerical methods solving gas- and fluid-dynamic problems.

Inelastic Analysis of Solids and Structures presents in a unified manner the physical and theoretical background of inelastic material models and computational methods, and illustrates the behavior of the models in typical engineering conditions.

Laminar ?ows are governed by a balance between the inertial and viscous forces in the ?ow that provides the stability. Even though laminar ?ows are organized in an orderly manner, the ?ows may exhibit instabilities and bifurcation phenomena which may eventually lead to transition and turbulence.

The objective of the Book Series is to publish monographs, textbooks, and proceedings of conferences of archival value, on any subject of computational fluid dynamics, computational solid and structural mechanics, and computational multi-physics dynamics.

Over the past several years, significant advances have been made in developing the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for applications in fluid flow and heat transfer.
