This text extends applications of the finite element method from linear problems in elastic structures to a broad class of practical, nonlinear problems in continuum mechanics. Its general and unified treatment of theory and applications emphasizes nonlinear problems in finite elasticity, viscoelasticity, heat conduction, and thermoviscoelasticity. 1972 edition.
