Finite Element Methods in Civil and Mechanical EngineeringA Mathematical Introduction\nAuthor(s): Arzhang Angoshtari, Ali Gerami Matin\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: CRC Press\nISBN-13: 9781138335172, 978-1138335172\nSynopsis\nThe finite element method is widely employed for numerical simulations in engineering and science due to its accuracy and efficiency. This concise introduction to the mathematical theory of the finite element method presents a selection of applications in civil and mechanical engineering including beams, elastic membranes, the wave equation, heat transfer, seepage in embankment, soil consolidation, incompressible fluids, and linear elasticity. Jupyter notebooks containing all Python programs of each chapter can be downloaded from the book's companion website.\n\nArzhang Angoshtari is an assistant professor and Ali Gerami Matin is a graduate student, both in the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering .
