In collaboration with the Contact Group Experimental Mechanics in The Netherlands and under the auspices of the Technological Institute of the Koninklijke Vlaamse Ingenieurs Vereniging (Royal Flemish Society of Engineers), the Department of Ap plied Mechanics of the Koninklijk Instituut van Ingenieurs (Royal Institution of Engineers in The Netherlands) organised the second National Mechanics Congress in The Netherlands, on November 16-18, 1992. About hundred participants from universities and industrial research laboratories in The Netherlands and Belgium discussed topics around the theme: Building Bridges, Integration of Theory and Applications in Applied Mechanics. Building bridges is of course one of the main tasks of a civil engineer, in order to improve the infrastructure of our society. Strength, stiffness and stability have to be guaranteed for a large number of years of service. Localised effects such as shear lag in longitudinal stiffeners, small cracks in concrete structures and effects of corrosion may on the long tenn lead to catastrofic failure of bridges. During the congress J.P. Gailliez presented a talk about the hydraulic ship lifts in the Canal du Centre in south Belgium. Built more than a hundred years ago, the elevators still are in a perfect condition and are recognized now as an industrial archeological monument.

Bridging the gap between theoretical texts and the massive and expensive software packages, this handbook covers finite element programming in a wide range of problems in mechanical, civil, aeronautical and electrical engineering. Comprehensive, it ranges from the static analysis of two- and three-dimensional structures to stress analysis of thick slabs on elastic foundations, and from two- and three- dimensional vibration analysis problems to two-dimensional field problems including heat transfer and acoustic vibrations. The 24 printouts of powerful and valuable engineering computer programs, written in QUICK BASIC, are introduced by a preliminary chapter giving useful hints and formulae intended for structural design. The programs are capable of analysing problems in engineering design and manufacture, with text fully describing how to use the computer programs for their particular problems or tasks. The finite element method is used in all the programs, and the problems for analysis can be of quite complex design and shape and with complex boundary conditions. Covers finite element programming in a wide range of problems in mechanical, civil, aeronautical and electrical engineering Ranges from the static analysis of two- and three-dimensional structures to stress analysis of thick slabs on elastic foundations

An introductory approach to the subject of large strains andlarge displacements in finite elements. Large Strain Finite Element Method: A Practical Course,takes an introductory approach to the subject of large strains andlarge displacements in finite elements and starts from the basicconcepts of finite strain deformability, including finite rotationsand finite displacements. The necessary elements of vector analysisand tensorial calculus on the lines of modern understanding of theconcept of tensor will also be introduced. This book explains how tensors and vectors can be describedusing matrices and also introduces different stress and straintensors. Building on these, step by step finite element techniquesfor both hyper and hypo-elastic approach will be considered. Material models including isotropic, unisotropic, plastic andviscoplastic materials will be independently discussed tofacilitate clarity and ease of learning. Elements of transientdynamics will also be covered and key explicit and iterativesolvers including the direct numerical integration, relaxationtechniques and conjugate gradient method will also be explored. This book contains a large number of easy to followillustrations, examples and source code details that facilitateboth reading and understanding. Takes an introductory approach to the subject of large strainsand large displacements in finite elements. No prior knowledge ofthe subject is required. Discusses computational methods and algorithms to tackle largestrains and teaches the basic knowledge required to be able tocritically gauge the results of computational models. Contains a large number of easy to follow illustrations,examples and source code details. Accompanied by a website hosting code examples.
