Features: This book systematically introduces the fundamentals of computational structural mechanics, finite element methods for planar and spatial problems, isoparametric elements, hybrid elements, mixed elements, quasi-coherent elements, bending elements for thin plates and shells, thin-walled rod elements, boundary element methods, structural dynamics problems, structural nonlinear problems, structural stability problems, fracture mechanics problems, fluid-structure interaction problems, application software based on structural analysis, and the content and advancements in computational structural mechanics. The book is rigorous in theory and computation, accompanied by illustrations, and includes a certain number of examples. It serves as a distinctive basic textbook for master's students in fields such as ship and ocean structure design and manufacturing, engineering mechanics, and structural engineering, enabling them to systematically master the fundamental theories, computational processes, computational techniques, and application methods of computational structural mechanics in engineering structural analysis. Additionally, the book can also be referenced by faculty and students of relevant institutions and technical personnel engaged in structural engineering.
