Overview

The objective of this book is to thoroughly document and discuss the influence of the most important computer-oriented techniques on formulating and solving boundary-value problems typical for contemporary solid and structural mechanics. The book is also intended to serve as an up-to-date introduction into current research on the subject. It will be useful to university researchers and graduate students, as well as to industrial engineers interested in effective solution methods in solid mechanics.
