This textbook provides a clear and accessible introduction to the characteristics and properties of linear finite elements in the fields of elastostatics and dynamics, and explains the procedures involved in building simulation models. The second part focuses on nonlinear, time-dependent phenomena and their corresponding solution methods. Practical examples from sheet metal forming are illustrated using the LS-DYNA\u00AE software. The emphasis is placed on explaining the interrelationships essential for users of commercial simulation software. Theoretical fundamentals are presented to the extent required for understanding how to use such programs effectively.\n\nLinear and Nonlinear FEM\nAn Introduction with Applications in Sheet Metal Forming Simulation with LS-DYNA\u00AE\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note: the price advertised is as low as we can go \u2014 we do not accept or re;
