Kumar\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc, United States\nImprint: John Wiley & Sons Inc\nISBN-13: 9781394187454, 978-1394187454\nSynopsis\nA clear and accessible overview of the Finite Element Method \n\nThe finite element method (FEM), which involves solutions to partial differential equations and integro-differential equations, is a powerful tool for solving structural mechanics and fluid mechanics problems. FEM results in versatile computer programs with flexible applications, usable with minimal training to solve practical problems in a variety of engineering and design contexts. Introduction to Finite Element Analysis and Design offers a comprehensive yet readable overview of both theoretical and practical elements of FEM. With a greater focus on design aspects than most comparable volumes, its an invaluable introduction to a key suite of software and des.
