Books by Peter Wriggers

New finite elements are needed as well in research as in industry environments for thedevelopment of virtual prediction techniques.

In this, its second corrected printing, Zohdi and Wriggers' illuminating text presents a comprehensive introduction to the subject. This volume is ideal for researchers and engineers, and can be used in a first-year course for graduate students with an interest in the computational micromechanical analysis of new materials.

For engineers, finite element methods have become important tools for design and optimization, even for solving nonlinear technological problems. This book provides the knowledge needed for finite element analysis in solid mechanics.
