About this Item

Neuware -This book focuses on wave propagation phenomena in elastic solids modelled by the use of the finite element method. Although the latter is a well-established and popular numerical tool used by engineers and researchers all around the word the process of modelling of wave propagation can still be a challenge. The book introduces a reader to the problem by presenting a historical background and offering a broad perspective on the development of modern science and numerical methods. The principles of wave phenomena are clearly presented to the reader as well as the necessary background for understanding the finite element method, which is the following chapter of the book is viewed from the modeller point-of-view. Apart from the principles the book also addresses more advanced topics and problems including the use of the spectral-finite element method, the spline-based finite element method as well as the problems of undesired and hidden properties of discrete numerical models.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 340 pp. Englisch.

About the Author

Arkadiusz Żak completed his Master's degree in Technical Physics and Applied Mathematics at Gdansk University of Technology in 1994. He then transitioned to the Department of Intelligent Structures, IFFM of PASci in Gdansk, where he earned his PhD in machine dynamics in 1998. Since 2012 he is a member of the Faculty of Electrical and Control Engineering, Gdansk University of Technology. His current research endeavors encompass a spectrum of topics, including the impact of electromagnetic fields on living organisms, advancements in smart materials, and the exploration of meta-materials and periodic structures to manipulate the dynamic responses of diverse engineering structures.
