Bibliographic information

In my book

Kurrer, Karl-Eugen: The History of the Theory of Structures. From Arch Analysis to Computational Mechanics. Berlin: Ernst & Sohn 2008.

one can find the chapter " 'The computer shapes the theory' (Argyris): the historical roots of the finite element method and the development of computational mechanics" (pp. 619-672).

Relationship with Dynamical Systems Theory

edit

It would be interesting to explain in the article what is the relationship between dynamical systems theory and computational mechanics. After browsing the articles, I see they have much in common. The boundaries and differences are not clear, however. Paolo.dL (talk) 16:00, 9 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

I dislike this page as written because it neglects to mention that one use of the term "computational mechanics" is significantly different from computer simulation. For example, from Computational Mechanics: Pattern and Prediction, Structure and Simplicity, "ϵ-Machines themselves reveal, in a very direct way, how the process stores information, and how that stored information is transformed by new inputs and by the passage of time. This, and not using computers for simulations and numerical calculations, is what makes computational mechanics 'computational', in the sense of 'computation theoretic'."
