		<title>Numerical Analyses of Cable Roof Structures by Gunnar Tibert</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Abstract
This thesis deals with the techniques used in the numerical analysis of cable roof structures. These structures are usually very light and flexible and require analysis methods, which take their non-linear behaviour into account.
An extensive literature survey, concerned with both practical and theoretical aspects of cable roofs, is presented. Some aspects included are: structural systems, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Numerical Methods for Engineers and Scientists</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Author: Joe D. Hoffman
Department of Mechanical Engineering
Purdue University
West Lafayette, Indiana
Preface
The second edition of this book contains several major improvements over the first edition.
Some of these improvements involve format and presentation philosophy, and some of the
changes involve old material which has been deleted and new material which has been
added.
Each chapter begins with a chapter table of [...]]]></description>

		<title>A brief history of Finite Element Method</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A brief history
The earliest paper on non-linear finite elements appears to be that by Turner et ul. which dates from 1960 and, significantly, stems from the aircraft industry. The present review will cover material published within the next twelve years (up to and including 1972).
Most of the other early work on geometric non-linearity related primarily [...]]]></description>
