"Advanced Finite Element Method in Structural Engineering systematically introduces the research work on the Finite Element Method (FEM), which was completed by Prof. Yu-qiu Long and his research group in the past 25 years. Seven original theoretical achievements - for instance, the Generalized Conforming Element method, to name one - and their applications in the fields of structural engineering and computational mechanics are discusse ..."
"... 12k, 23k and 13k are the corresponding strains; E1k and E2k are the Young's
modulus in the direction of the fibres (1-axis) and transverse to the fibres (2-axis),
respectively; G12k is the in-plane shear modulus, G23k and G13k are the
transverse shear modulus, 12k is the major Poisson's ratio, and 2 21 12 1 k k k k
