Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publisher. "This book deals with the Finite Element Method for the analysis of elastic structures such as beams, plates, shells and solids. The modern approach of Unified Formulation (UF), as proposed by the lead author, deals with the consideration of one-dimensional (beams), two-dimensional (plates and shells) and three-dimensional (solids) elements. Applications are given for structures which are typically employed in civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering fields. Additional topics include mixed order elements, extension to layered composite structures, and the analysis of multifield problems involving mechanical, electrical and thermal loadings." -- Unedited summary from book. 2014 Text 1 online resource. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/book/10.1002/9781118536643 eng Finite element analysis of structures through unified formulation Finite element analysis of structures through unified formulation
