A comprehensive guide to using energy principles and variational
methods for solving problems in solid mechanics This book provides
a systematic, highly practical introduction to the use of energy
principles, traditional variational methods, and the finite element
method for the solution of engineering problems involving bars,
beams, torsion, plane elasticity, trusses, and plates. It begins
with a review of the basic equations of mechanics, the concepts of
work and energy, and key topics from variational calculus. It
presents virtual work and energy principles, energy methods of
solid and structural mechanics, Hamilton s principle for dynamical
systems, and classical variational methods of approximation. And it
takes a more unified approach than that found in most solid
mechanics books, to introduce the finite element method. Featuring
more than 200 illustrations and tables, this Third Edition has been
extensively reorganized and contains much new material, including a
new chapter devoted to the latest developments in functionally
graded beams and plates. * Offers clear and easy-to-follow
descriptions of the concepts of work, energy, energy principles and
variational methods * Covers energy principles of solid and
structural mechanics, traditional variational methods, the
least-squares variational method, and the finite element, along
with applications for each * Provides an abundance of examples, in
a problem-solving format, with descriptions of applications for
equations derived in obtaining solutions to engineering structures
* Features end-of-the-chapter problems for course assignments, a
Companion Website with a Solutions Manual, Instructor's Manual,
figures, and more Energy Principles and Variational Methods in
Applied Mechanics, Third Edition is both a superb text/reference
for engineering students in aerospace, civil, mechanical, and
applied mechanics, and a valuable working resource for engineers in
design and analysis in the aircraft, automobile, civil engineering,
and shipbuilding industries.
