Abstract

The highly nonlinear field equations of the continuum theory for the inelastic behaviour of solids cannot serve as a basis for analysis in structural mechanics. The complex geometry of a structure entails a multitude of boundary value problems that even in the linearized elastic case necessitates an approximate representation by finite dimensional vectorspaces, amenable to analysis by means of computer algorithms.
