Abstract

In this chapter the mechanical fundamentals behind the numerical applications presented in this work are developed. Firstly it is present a brief exposition of the used continuum formulation, where the solid kinematics and constitutive equations are shown. Following it is presented the used weak form and the consequent generated discrete equation system. Next, the dynamic analysis equations are presented and transient analysis basic concepts are introduced.
