Zusatztext "This is an excellent addition to the available textbooks on finite element method?The mathematical formulations and fundamental concepts illustrated with simple examples and summaries or comments and plenty of exercises presented at the end of each chapter are other merits of the book?The book is highly recommended for undergraduate students and teachers in universities."- Appl Mech Rev! Vol. 55! no. 1 "Intended for use? within and outside engineering disciplines! this book examines both stress-deformation analysis and flow (heat and fluid) applications?. offers an introduction to the finite element method?" -Sci Tech Book News! Vol. 25! No. 3! September 2001 Informationen zum Autor Desai, Chandrakant S.; Kundu, Tribikram Klappentext Introductory Finite Element Method examines both structural analysis and flow applications in a presentation designed for upper-level undergraduate and beginning graduate students, both within and outside of the engineering disciplines. It includes a chapter on variational calculus, clearly presented to show how the functionals for structural analysis and flow problems are formulated. The authors provide both one- and two-dimensional finite element codes and a wide range of examples and exercises. The exercises include some simpler ones to solve by hand calculation, alllowing readers to understand the theory and the details of formulating computer implementations.
