ABSTRACT
The first 12 topics of the current monograph have been concerned with linear FEA. The underlying notions of linear solid mechanics and conductive heat transfer were addressed in Chapter 5 and 6. Here, we briefly present several nonlinear topics from continuum thermomechanics, which will enable treating nonlinear finite element techniques thereafter. A more complete account is given, for example, in Chandrasekharaiah and Debnath (1994).
