Computational Continuum Mechanics

Computational Continuum Mechanics, 3rd Edition, presents computational techniques for basic continuum mechanics modeling. The text addresses both small and large deformations to support mechanical modeling and simulation.

The volume covers the absolute nodal coordinate formulation to integrate geometry and analysis, alongside the floating frame of reference formulation for small deformation problems. It also explains the formulations required to unite computer-aided design, finite element analysis, and multibody system computer codes in a single computational environment.

Designed for advanced undergraduates and first-year graduate students, this work also serves as a reference for practicing engineers and researchers in computational mechanics, multibody dynamics, and biomechanics.
