Enriched Numerical Techniques

Enriched Numerical Techniques: Implementation and Applications explores recent advances in enriched numerical techniques including the extended finite element method, meshfree methods, extended isogeometric analysis and coupled numerical techniques. Techniques for implementation and programming issues are discussed in detail, which lead on to applications for enriched numerical techniques in solving a range of engineering problems. The level set methodologies for complex shaped irregularities is presented, as are enriched numerical methodologies for various complex and advanced problems such as Nonlinear Structural Analysis, Fracture and Fatigue in Structures, Elasto-Plastic Crack Growth, Large Deformation Analysis, Frictional Contact Problems, Thermo-Mechanical Problems, Fluid Flow Investigations, Composite Materials and Bio-mechanics Features explanations on how to use enriched numerical techniques to model problems in bio-mechanics and fluid flow Worked examples are used to explain methods throughout Practical advice on how to tackle programming issues is also provided
