Concepts of Computational Finite Elements and Methods of Static and Dynamic Analyses in MSC.NASTRAN and LS/DYNA

This book describes the theory of all the methods of static and dynamic analyses, be they linear or nonlinear, both materially and geometrically. The book is intended to give the reader a sound appreciation of the basic and advanced methods of structural analyses. Specific emphasis is given to the advanced analysis codes of MSC.NASTRAN and LS/DYNA.
