Nonlinear Continuum Mechanics for Finite Element Analysis 2nd Edition by Javier Bonet (PDF)

Description

The first edition of this successful text considered nonlinear geometrical behavior and nonlinear hyperelastic materials, and the numerics needed to model such phenomena. By presenting both nonlinear continuum analysis and associated finite element techniques in one, Bonet and Wood provide, in the new edition of this successful text, a complete, clear, and unified treatment of these important subjects. New chapters dealing with hyperelastic plastic behavior are included, and the authors have thoroughly updated the FLagSHyP program, freely accessible at www.flagshyp.com.

⭐Bonet and Wood have done an excellent job with this book. After motivating what they are trying to do with simple examples of nonlinear mechanics, they move into some basic vector and tensor math. Summation signs are explicitly used, so if you are new to continuum mechanics you don’t have to try to learn the ins and outs of the seemingly bizarre notation at the same time as the fundamental concepts (although you really should learn it at some point in time). Once the math is set up, Bonet and Wood move into finite kinematics, the force balance, material constitutive models, and finally, getting all of the above set up in an actual computer code (which is available for download) to do some FEA.The strong point of the book is how patient the authors are with you. I found the derivations to be very lucid, with most, if not all, of the important steps shown. Bonet and Wood always tie things back to linearizing the nonlinear problem in anticipation for putting it on the computer. The Newton-Raphson procedure, and its various improvements (line search, etc.) are very nicely explained, so it is clear not just what and why but how we go about solving nonlinear mechanics problems. I highly recommend this book for starting to learn continuum mechanics and one way of solving its problems on the computer.Nota bene: the emphasis is on large-deformation elasticity, which is a good, relatively simple place to start in continuum mechanics. The material models are all eventually taken as isotropic (which is more than just extra constants, as another reviewer pointed out, since then you must use the exponential map). Plasticity is briefly covered, but only the basic J2 model with hardening. Search elsewhere (

⭐, or

⭐) if you are interested in computational plasticity. Maybe (and hopefully) in the next edition Bonet and Wood will get to those topics.

⭐I bought this book for my study during the Phd course I’m doing. It is very good!!

⭐This book is a very good start for nonlinear continuum mechanincs and expecially for selfteaching.Higly recommended for everyone interested in the subject

⭐This is a very good introductory book to the subject of nonlinear continuum mechanics focusing on finite element applications. It fills the gap existing among different books treating this subject. The approach to Directional Derivative is quite general and very interesting. I would recommend this book for a first course in Nonlinear Continuum Mechanics.

⭐If you study this subject (Especially if you study at Swansea University). This book will explain everything you will need to know. There is also a smaller book written by Antonio Gil and Javier Bonet that give all the answers to the problems found in this book that is just as helpful.All in all great book.

⭐not so many descriptions about the connections between continuum mechanics and finite element though it’s nice because of many basic coneptial explanations. but if you wanna learn how to describe continuum mechanics equation by finite element, there is few of it such as ALE, TL and UL formulations. Get another book for such advanced purpose.
