Methods for analyzing nonlinear problems in science and engineering. Constructive approach to bifurcation theory and stability theory, dynamical response of nonlinear systems, nonlinear oscillations ...

• Most problems are nonlinear from the get-go. • Simplified load-deflection cases can help explain nonlinear (structural) FEA. Which designers need nonlinear FEA and why? Actually, projects ranging ...

Linear finite-element analysis does not provide enough information about buckling to make correct design decisions, especially when designing lightweight components ...
