INTRODUCTION TO FINITE ELEMENT METHOD, 4TH EDITION

This authoritative and thoroughly revised, classic Mechanical Engineering textbook offers a broad-based overview and applications of the finite element method. This revision updates and expands the already large number of problems and worked-out examples and brings the technical coverage in line with current practices. Readers will get details on non-traditional applications in bioengineering, fluid, and thermal sciences, in addition to solid and structural mechanics. Written by a recognized Mechanical Engineering expert, an introduction to the finite element method, fourth edition, teaches, step-by-step, how to determine numerical solutions to Equilibrium as well as time-dependent problems from fluid and thermal sciences and structural mechanics. Beginning with differential equations, the book presents a self-contained approach to the construction of weak forms.....
