Although significant advances have been made in the finite element method since this book first appeared in 1984, the basics have remained the same. This classic text introduces both the theoretical a
The emphasis is on theory, programming and appilications to show exactly how Finite Element Method can be applied to quantum mechanics, heat transfer and fluid dynamics. For engineers, physicists and
This book addresses the solution of rotating beam free-vibration problems using the finite element method. It provides an introduction to the governing equation of a rotating beam, before outlining th
Although the Trefftz finite element method (FEM) has become a powerful computational tool in the analysis of plane elasticity, thin and thick plate bending, Poisson’s equation, heat conduction, and pi
Voller (U. of Minnesota) introduces a common framework for the Control Volume Finite Element Method (CVFEM) solution, which combines the physics of Control Volume Methods with the geometric flexibilit
Introduces the basic concepts of FEM in an easy-to-use format so that students and professionals can use the method efficiently and interpret results properly Finite element method (FEM) is a powerful
Because of its ability to treat both regions with irregular boundaries and with different material types, the finite element method is increasingly being applied to surface water and soil transport pr
Many books have been written about the finite element method; little however has been written about procedures that assist a practicing engineer in undertaking an analysis in such a way that errors an
The finite element method (FEM) has wide use in the designing and analyzing of complex structures. There are numerous different strategies for using FEM depending on the type and dementionality of the
"This book introduces the theory of the finite element method using a balanced approach between its mathematical formulations and programming implementation. The computer implementation is carried out
Today the fundamentals of solid mechanics may be explained by numerical experiments using the finite element method. The explanation is detailed in this book using many examples. After a short review
This thorough yet understandable introduction to the boundary element method presents an attractive alternative to the finite element method. It not only explains the theory but also presents the impl
The natural element methods are an alternative to the finite element method for solving partial differential equations, and are called meshless because they replace connectivity between the nodes with
