Material Modeling in Finite Element Analysis Finite element analysis has been widely applied in mechanical civil and biomedical designs. This new edition provides the readers with comprehensive views of various material models through practical examples which will help them better understand various materials and build appropriate material models in finite element analysis. Material Modeling in Finite Element Analysis Second Edition consists of four main parts: (1) metals (2) polymers (3) soils and (4) modern materials. Each part starts with the structure and function of different materials and then follows the corresponding material models and the temperature and time effects on the material models. The final part focuses on user subroutines such as UserMat and UserHyper. This book presents some specific problems including the metal-forming process combustion room Mullins effect of rubber tires viscoelasticity of liver soft tissues small punch test tunnel excavation slope stability concrete slump test orthodontic wire and piezoelectric microaccelerometer. All modeling files are provided in the appendices of this book. This book would be helpful for graduate students and researchers in the mechanical civil and biomedical fields who conduct finite element analysis. This book provides all readers with a comprehensive understanding of modeling various materials. GBP 115.00 1
