This worked examples text is intended primarily as a companion to the second edition of the textbook Nonlinear Continuum Mechanics for Finite Element Analysis by Javier Bonet and Richard D. Wood. However, to be reasonably self-contained, where necessary key equations from the textbook are replicated in each chapter.

Textbook equation numbers given at the beginning of each chapter are indicated in square brackets.

Exercises are presented in a mix of direct (tensor), matrix, or indicial notation, whichever provides the greater clarity. Indicial notation is used only when strictly necessary and with summations clearly indicated.

The textbook is augmented by a website, www.flagshyp.com, which contains corrections, software, and sample input data. Updates to this worked examples text will also be included on the website as necessary.
