Overview: Provides the readers with well-balanced developments regarding both the theoretical formulations and finite element based numerical solution of nonlinear problems.This “extensive-coverage” role is als.This volume provides insight into modelling and ultimate limit computation of complex structures, with their components represented by solid deformable bodies. The book examines practically all the important questions of current interests for nonlinear solid mechanics: plasticity, damage, large deformations, contact, dynamics, instability, localisation and failure, discrete models, mult
