Basic concepts used in continuum mechanics are presented and used to develop nonlinear general finite element formulations that can be effectively used in large displacement analysis. The book considers two nonlinear finite element dynamic formulations: a general large deformation finite element formulation and a formulation that can efficiently solve small deformation problems that characterize very stiff structures. The book presents material clearly and systematically, assuming the reader has only basic knowledge in matrix and vector algebra and dynamics. The book is designed for use by advanced undergraduates and first-year graduate students. It is also a reference for researchers, practising engineers, and scientists working in computational mechanics, bio-mechanics, computational biology, multibody system dynamics, and other fields of science and engineering using the general continuum mechanics theory. - Thorough presentation of the nonlinear continuum mechanics theory - Emphasis on the computational methods - Generality of the finite element formulations developed in the book --- Contents: 1. Introduction; 2. Kinematics; 3. Forces and stresses; 4. Constitutive equations; 5. Plasticity formulations; 6. Finite element formulation: large deformation, large rotation problem; 7. Finite element formulation: small deformation, large rotation problem, Cambridge University Press, 2010, PHI Learning, 2014. Softcover. New. 16 x 24 cm. This is a sequel to the author’s earlier books — Engineering Mathematics: Vols. I and II — both well received by the students and the academics. As this book deals with advanced topics in engineering mathematics, which undergraduate students in engineering and postgraduate students in mathematics and allied disciplines have to study as part of their course requirements, the title of Advanced Engineering Mathematics has been considered more suitable. This well-organized and accessible text discusses in detail the advanced mathematical tools and techniques required for engineering problems. The book begins with Fourier series and goes on to give an indepth analysis of Fourier transform, Mellin transforms and Z-transforms. It then examines the partial differential equations with an emphasis on the method of separation of variables applied to the solution of initial boundary value problems involving the heat, wave and Laplace equations. Discrete mathematics and its applications are covered in a separate chapter as the subject has wide applications in computer science. In addition, the book presents some of the classical problems of the calculus of variations, including the brachistochrone problem. The text concludes with a discussion on tensor analysis which has important applications in the study of continuum mechanics, theory of relativity, and elasticity. Intended primarily as a text for undergraduate students of engineering, postgraduate students of mathematics (M.Sc.), and master of computer applications (MCA), the book would be of great benefit also to practising engineers. key Features ? The topics given are application-oriented, and are selected keeping in view their use in various engineering disciplines. ? Exercises are provided at the end of each section to test the student’s comprehension. ? A large number of illustrative examples are given to help students understand the concepts better.

This book is intended to serve as a unique and comprehensive textbook for scientists and engineers as well as advanced students in thermo-fluid courses. It provides an intensive monograph essential for understanding dynamics of ideal fluid, Newtonian fluid, non-Newtonian fluid and magnetic fluid. These distinct, yet intertwined subjects are addressed in an integrated manner. It starts with coherent treatment of fundamental continuum mechanics, with an emphasis on the intrinsic angular momentum, by which the concepts of ferrohydrodynamics are progressively built up, and serve as a foundation for later development. Flows of ideal and Newtonian fluids are followed by a detailed presentation of basic continuum equations for applications of fluid engineering, which cover the design and operations of various turbomachines, heat exchangers and flow elements. The study of the deformation and flow of matter namely rheology, is discussed primarily with regard to the stresses generated during the flow of complex materials, which are represented by viscoelastic fluids. Throughout the book, the first priority is to illustrate the utilization of constitutive equations (relations) in order to facilitate an understanding of the physical flow phenomena and mechanisms. Moreover, it enables readers to classify flows and specific engineering problems, which can then be identified and formulated. In order to make the book self-contained, many exercises and problems are provided for each chapter in addition to the numerous pedagogical aids that have been incorporated throughout. The Intention is to facilitate the reader to compose their knowledge into a better understanding of both the theoretical and applicable aspects of fluid engineering.
