FINITE ELEMENTS IN PLASTICITY: THEORY AND PRACTICE D.R.J. Owen and E. Hinton, University College Swansea This test describes the application of the finite element method to the solution of elastoplastic problems. The essential steps in the numerical solution of such nonlinear problems are introduced by the analysis of onedimensional axial bar systems, The theory is then generalised to the case of a continuum and particular expressions are derived for the twodimensional situations of plane stress/ strain and axial symmetry. Elastoplastic plate bending problems are also considered. The important topic of the elastoviscoplastic behaviour of solids is then treated and detailed expressions provided for both explicit and implicit time integration schemes. Finally the dynamic transient analysis of solids in which plasticity effects are present is undertaken and special reference is made to seismic load conditions. For each application complete FORTRAN computer codes are developed and documented in detail, These programs are both flexible and efficient and have potential usage in commercial as well as teaching and research environments.

Films FINITE ELEMENTS The film introduces to a technical audience the fundamentals of the finite element method. This method is used to enable engineers to calculate the behaviour of a solid, complex shaped, object when subjected to changing, externally generated forces. The finite element method effectively allows the solid object to be represented by a grid, or mesh, of links where the effects on any one link, due to its neighbours, can equation.berepresentedbyadifferential Three engineering examples have been used:* A bridge when subjected to varying load * The flow of a river around a fixed pylon * The distribution or pollutants in tidal waters The capability of a computer to run a finite element program for many different problems is emphasized.
