Ad anced 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 discussed in detail. The book also shows the new strategies for avoiding five difficulties that exist in traditional FEM (shear-locking problem of thick plate elements; sensitivity problem to mesh distortion; non-convergence problem of non-conforming elements; accuracy loss problem of stress solutions by displacement-based elements; stress singular point problem) by utilizing foregoing achievements.



Mr. Yu-Qiu Long is Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Tsinghua University, and a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. His research is mainly in structural mechanics, shell structures, finite element method and variational principles. He has published 21 books and 235 papers, which have been cited more than 2000 times. To date, he has obtained 22 awards, at the national and provincial levels, for his achievements.
