MATERIAL MODELING IN FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS (HB 2020) Hardcover

Finite element analysis is a widely used tool in mechanical, civil, and biomedical engineering. This book aims to give readers a thorough understanding of different material models through practical examples. This will help them learn about various materials and create suitable material models for their finite element analyses. The book is divided into four main sections: 1) metals, 2) polymers, 3) soils, and 4) modern materials. Each section begins by explaining the structure and properties of different materials and then introduces relevant material models. For example, it covers the BISO, MISO, and Chaboche models for metals: the Arruda-Boyce, Mooney-Rivlin, and Ogden models for polymers: the Mohr-Coulomb, Cam Clay, and Jointed Rock models for geomechanics: and models for composites and shape memory alloys in the modern materials section. The final part of the book presents specific real-world problems, such as metal forming, combustion chambers, the Mullins effect in rubber tires, breast shape after surgery, the viscoelasticity of liver tissue, tunnel excavation, slope stability, orthodontic wires, and piezoelectric microaccelerometers. All the files needed for the modeling examples are included in the book's appendices. This book will be a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers in mechanical, civil, and biomedical engineering who use finite element analysis. It provides all readers with a comprehensive understanding of how to model a wide range of materials.
