Enriched Numerical Techniques

Enriched Numerical Techniques: Implementation and Applications

explores recent advances in enriched numerical techniques, including the extended finite element method, meshfree methods, extended isogeometric analysis and coupled numerical techniques.

Techniques for implementation and programming issues are discussed, with other sections discussing applications for enriched numerical techniques in solving a range of engineering problems.

The level set methodologies for complex shaped irregularities is presented, as are enriched numerical methodologies for various complex and advanced problems such as Nonlinear Structural Analysis, Fracture and Fatigue in Structures, Elasto-Plastic Crack Growth, Large Deformation Analysis, Frictional Contact Problems, Thermo-Mechanical Problems, Fluid Flow Investigations, Composite Materials and Bio-mechanics.
