The explanation is detailed in this book using many examples. After a short review of how the finite element method works (in Chapter 1), Chapter 2 develops some key points of solid mechanics: what is a beam? when and how can a structure be represented by beam elements? what are the basic hypotheses? what kind of information does a beam model provide? A generalized beam element is also presented.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 uses the same approach for the discussion on stress concentrations and stress singularities: local effects; influence of geometric discontinuities, such as holes or corners; mesh refinements and\/or analytic-numeric approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4 is devoted to plate modeling: coupling of membrane and bending, folded, stiffened, composite plates.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5 provides a short presentation of the dynamics of structures with a particular focus on the modal method, the influence of local defaults on the modal response is also analyzed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCommercial software (Ansys) is used to study the examples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlain Berlioz\u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor at Toulouse University.
