Introduction 23 1. Abstract minimization problems, variational inequalities and the Lax-
Milgram lemma 24 2. The Sobolev spaces H (Q2) and Green's formulae 30 3. Examples of …

Efforts aimed at understanding the behavior of metals under loading beyond the elastic
regime provided the starting point, at the turn of this century, for the development of a body of …

This book goes back a long way. There is a tradition of research and teaching in inelasticity
at Stanford that goes back at least to Wilhelm Flugge ̈ and Erastus Lee. I joined the faculty …

A three‐field mixed formulation in terms of displacements, stresses and an enhanced strain
field is presented which encompasses, as a particular case, the classical method of …

A class of 'assumed strain'mixed finite element methods for fully non‐linear problems in solid
mechanics is presented which, when restricted to geometrically linear problems …

Improved three-dimensional tri-linear elements for finite deformation problems are
developed based on an assumed enhanced strain methodology which, in the linear regime …

The error estimation processes which have been developed by the authors depend on the
accuracy with which stresses (gradients) can be recovered. The recovery methods available …

Computational aspects of a linear stress resultant (classical) shell theory, obtained by
systematic linearization of the geometrically exact nonlinear theory, considered in Part I of …

We discuss the effects of element distortions on the performance of displacement‐based
isoparametric quadrilateral finite elements. Suitable example problems for both the …

This article deals with the continuum formulation of finite strain viscoelasticity and provides
its numerical simulation with the finite element method. In particular, elastomeric solids …
