Meccanica computazionale - Soluzione del problema elastico lineare

The book gives an overview of the main techniques for the solution of the linear elastic problem, with particular reference to the Finite Element Method. The first part is devoted to the formulation of the linear elastic problem for three-dimensional, axisymmetric and bi-dimensional continua and to the discussion of beam and plates structural theories. Some meaningful cases are analytically solved. In the second part of the book, the Finite Element Method is introduced starting from a general formulation for deformable solids. The book gives all the information necessary to the full understanding of the FEM and to its application for the analysis of linear elastic solids and structures.
