Synopsis

The finite element method is a numerical procedure for solving the ordinary and partial differential equations that commonly arise in engineering and mathematical physics. This text offers a complete, self-contained introduction to the theory and application of finite element methods in solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, and optimization. The authors' extensive practical experience in the field allows for a text well balanced between theory and application. Techniques for formatting finite element apparatus to problems are carefully explained. Programming techniques for solving resulting FEM problems also receive comprehensive treatment. Worked examples are scattered throughout the text.
