SCROLL TO TOP

1.1.1 Continuity and locality

The problem of describing the mechanical behavior of materials, which began in the middle of the 20th century, has undergone a real expansion in the world of research and industry with the development of calculation methods such as the famous finite element method.

  • The fundamental assumption made when formulating a nonlinear behavior law is that the material whose behavior is to be described is continuous...
