Over the past four decades computational methods in appliedmechanics have developed into valuable tools that are widely usedacross both industry and academia. The applications are numerous:aerospace structures, civil engineering structures, geotechnics,flow problems, automotive industry, geo-environmental modelling,biomechanics, electromagnetism, metal forming, to name but a few.
This three volume set provides the most comprehensive andup-to-date collection of knowledge about this increasinglyimportant area of engineering science. The Encyclopediaprovides a well-rounded and practical knowledge base that willserve as a foundation for the reader s research and practice indeveloping designs and in understanding, assessing and managingnumerical analysis systems.

Containing over 70 in-depth and thoroughly cross referencedarticles on key topics from internationally renowned researchers,the Encyclopedia of Computational Mechanics will cover threekey areas.

Volume One: Fundamentals will cover the basic conceptsbehind discretization, interpolation, error estimation, solvers,computer algebra and geometric modelling.
Volume Two: Solids and Volume Three: Fluids willbuild on this foundation with extensive, in-depth coverage ofindustrial applications.
The main readership for this book will be researchers, researchstudents (PhD. D. and postgraduate) and professional engineers inindustrial and governmental laboratories. Academic interestwill stem from civil, mechanical, geomechanical, biomedical,aerospace and chemical engineering departments, through to thefields of applied mathematics, computer science and physics.
