This book is a comprehensive and in-depth work that combines the author's years of teaching, research and software development experience in computational solid mechanics. It covers the main basic knowledge and theories of computational solid mechanics, and also has certain practicality and innovation. The book is divided into eight chapters: general problems and nonlinearity in solid mechanics; Galerkin approximation: irreducible form and mixed form; finite element analysis of trusses and...

The differential quadrature hierarchical finite element method (DQHFEM) was proposed by Bo Liu. This method incorporated the advantages and the latest research achievements of the hierarchical finite element method (HFEM), the differential quadrature method (DQM) and the isogeometric analysis (IGA). The DQHFEM also overcame many limitations or difficulties of the three methods.This unique compendium systemically introduces the construction of various DQHFEM elements of commonly used geomet...
