Finite element analysis and simulation of polymers an addendum: a bibliography (1996 2002)

Abstract

This paper gives a bibliographical review of the finite element methods (FEMs) applied to the analysis and simulation of polymers. The bibliography is an addendum to the Finite element analysis and simulation of polymers: a bibliography (1976–1996) published in the Modelling Simul. Mater. Sci. Eng. 5 (1997) 615–50. The added bibliography at the end of this article contains 880 references to papers and conference proceedings on the subject that were published between 1996 and 2002. These are classified in the following categories: polymer flow and mixing simulation; polymer processing; thermal analysis of polymers; fracture mechanics of polymers; modelling polymer behaviours and their mechanical properties; practical polymer applications in engineering; other topics.
