Whenever numerical simulation is employed in connection with engineering decision-making, there is an implied expectation of reliability: one cannot base decisions on computed information without believing that information is reliable enough to support those decisions. Using mathematical models to show the reliability of computer-generated information is an essential part of any modelling effort.
Giving users of finite element analysis (FEA) software an introduction to verification and validation procedures, this book thoroughly covers the fundamentals of assuring reliability in numerical simulation. The renowned authors systematically guide readers through the basic theory and algorithmic structure of the finite element method, using helpful examples and exercises throughout.

Ivo Babuška’s research has been concerned mainly with the reliability of computational analysis of mathematical problems and their applications, especially by the finite element method. He was the first to address a posteriori error estimation and adaptivity in finite element analysis. His research papers on these subjects published in the 1970s have been widely cited. His joint work with Barna Szabó on the p-version of the finite element method established the theoretical foundations and the algorithmic structure for this method. His recent work has been concerned with the mathematical formulation and treatment of uncertainties which are present in every mathematical model. In recognition of his numerous important contributions, Professor Babuška received may honors, which include honorary doctorates, medals and prizes and election to prestigious academies.
“I highly recommend this as a textbook for an undergraduate engineering course on FE analysis. Moreover, I recommend this book to every engineer who practices FE computation, since this is a well-written and unique source for studying the extremely important issue of reliability of FE analysis in practice.” (IACM Expressions, 1 September 2012)
