A comprehensive technical guide to the numerical modeling of beams, plates, and shells. Written by Eugenio Oñate, the work focuses on the application of the Finite Element Method (FEM) to complex structures, including those made from composite laminated materials. The text transitions from fundamental theories, such as Euler-Bernoulli and Kirchhoff, to more advanced models like Timoshenko and Reissner-Mindlin to address shear deformation and thickness effects. Readers are introduced to specialized techniques like rotation-free elements, zigzag theory, and methods to avoid numerical defects like locking. Additionally, the source includes practical MATLAB implementations and explores diverse structural forms such as a...
