Numerical methods for non-linear problems. Volume 2 Proceedings of the Second International Conference, Universidad Politecnica de Barcelona, Spain, April 9-13, 1984

The solution of large nonlinear problems remains a costly exercise despite advancements made in both computer hardware and quasi-Newtonlike methods; considerable promise is now seen, however, in a return to iterative processes for equation-solving in which the computational cost of nonlinear problems is comparable to that of linear ones and for which parallel array processors are now available. Attention is presently given to nonlinear solution techniques, geometrically nonlinear problems, reinforced concrete structure analyses, plasticity and structural design problems, recently developed applications of nonlinear finite element structural analyses, transient dynamic problems, potential and viscous flow problems, free surface flows, heat transfer, combustion processes, and geotechnical problems.
