(BQ) In the years since the fourth edition of this seminal work was published, active research has developed the Finite Element Method into the pre-eminent tool for the modeling of physical systems. Volume 2 of the "The finite element method" provides a complete introduction to the method and is essential reading for undergraduates, postgraduates and professional engineers. | The Finite Element Method Fifth edition Volume 2: Solid Mechanics Professor . Zienkiewicz, CBE, FRS, FREng is Professor Emeritus and Director of the Institute for Numerical Methods in Engineering at the University of Wales, Swansea, UK. He holds the UNESCO Chair of Numerical Methods in Engineering at the Technical University of Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain. He was the head of the Civil Engineering Department at the University of Wales Swansea between 1961 and 1989. He established that department as one of the primary centres of ®nite element research. In 1968 he became the Founder Editor of the International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering which still remains today the major journal in this ®eld. The recipient of 24 honorary degrees and many medals, Professor Zienkiewicz is also a member of ®ve academies ± an honour he has received for his many contributions to the fundamental developments of the ®nite element method. In 1978, he became a Fellow of the Royal Society and the Royal Academy of Engineering. This was followed by his election as a foreign member to the . Academy of Engineering (1981), the Polish Academy of Science (1985), the Chinese Academy of Sciences (1998), and the National Academy of Science, Italy (Academia dei Lincei) (1999). He published the ®rst edition of this book in 1967 and it remained the only book on the subject until 1971. Professor . Taylor has more than 35 years' experience in the modelling and simulation of structures and solid continua including two years in industry. In 1991 he was elected to membership in the . National Academy of Engineering in recognition of his educational and research contributions to the ®eld of computational mechanics. He was appointed as the . and Margaret Lin Professor of Engineering in 1992 and, in 1994, received the Berkeley Citation, the highest honour awarded by the University of California, Berkeley. In 1997, Professor Taylor was made a Fellow in the . Association for .
