Ex Library book and has stickers or markings as such. NO writing or markings other then from the library, All pages intact and clean, shows minor signs of wear from use. Great reading copy, Save money and recycle books! Shipped with care in a bubble mailer. --- Kikuchi and Oden offer a rigorous mathematical treatment of contact mechanics in elastic bodies, organizing the subject around variational inequalities and their numerical approximation through finite element methods. The volume addresses both linear contact configurations and more demanding nonlinear cases, including large deformations, buckling of plates with unilateral constraints, frictional phenomena governed by nonclassical laws, elastoplastic behavior, and dynamic contact. Part of the Studies in Applied and Numerical Mathematics series, the work serves as a reference for researchers in computational mechanics, applied mathematics, and engineering analysis concerned with the theoretical foundations and discretization of contact problems.

About this title

Synopsis

The contact of one deformable body with another lies at the heart of almost every mechanical structure. Here, in a comprehensive treatment, two of the field's leading researchers present a systematic approach to contact problems. Using variational formulations, Kikuchi and Oden derive a multitude of new results, both for classical problems and for nonlinear problems involving large deflections and buckling of thin plates with unilateral supports, dry friction with nonclassical laws, large elastic and elastoplastic deformations with frictional contact, dynamic contacts with dynamic frictional effects, and rolling contacts. This method exposes properties of solutions obscured by classical methods, and it provides a basis for the development of powerful numerical schemes.
