On Teaching Finite Element Method in Plasticity With Mathematica
To help students to understand how finite element methods (FEM) deal with the plasticity, we have developed a FEM program by using Mathematicia symbolic algebra system. The program is compact and olvery good readability. Its use in our teaching the theory of plasticity has led to positive results. (c) 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
