Automation of Finite Element Methods - Tapa dura

<DIV>NEW FINITE ELEMENTS ARE NEEDED AS WELL IN RESEARCH AS IN INDUSTRY ENVIRONMENTS FOR THE</DIV><DIV>DEVELOPMENT OF VIRTUAL PREDICTION TECHNIQUES. THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF NOVEL FINITE</DIV><DIV>ELEMENTS FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES IS A TEDIOUS AND TIME CONSUMING TASK, ESPECIALLY FOR NONLINEAR</DIV><DIV>FORMULATIONS. THE AUTOMATION OF THIS PROCESS CAN HELP TO SPEED UP THIS PROCESS</DIV><DIV>CONSIDERABLY SINCE THE GENERATION OF THE FINAL COMPUTER CODE CAN BE ACCELERATED BY ORDER OF</DIV><DIV>SEVERAL MAGNITUDES.</DIV><DIV>THIS BOOK PROVIDES THE READER WITH THE REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE NEEDED TO EMPLOY MODERN</DIV><DIV>AUTOMATIC TOOLS LIKE ACEGEN WITHIN SOLID MECHANICS IN A SUCCESSFUL WAY. IT COVERS THE RANGE</DIV><DIV>FROM THE THEORETICAL BACKGROUND, ALGORITHMIC TREATMENTS TO MANY DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS. THE</DIV><DIV>BOOK IS WRITTEN FOR ADVANCED STUDENTS IN THE ENGINEERING FIELD AND FOR RESEARCHERS IN</DIV><DIV>EDUCATIONAL AND INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENTS.</DIV>
