Finite Element Procedures

BASIC APPROACH:Comprehensive -- this text explores thefull rangeof finite element methods used in engineering practice for actual applications in computer-aided design. It provides not only an introduction to finite element methods and the commonality in the various techniques, but explores state-of-the-art methods as well -- with a focus on what are deemed to become "classical techniques" -- procedures that will bestandard and authoritativefor finite element analysis for years to come. FEATURES: presents in sufficient depth and breadthelementary conceptsANDadvanced techniquesin statics, dynamics, solids, fluids, linear and nonlinear analysis. emphasizes boththe physical and mathematical characteristics of procedures. presents someimportant mathematical conditionson finite element procedures. contains an abundance ofworked-out examplesand variouscomplete program listings. includes manyexercises/projectsthat often require the use of a computer program.Bathe, Klaus-Jürgen is the author of 'Finite Element Procedures', published 1995 under ISBN 9780133014587 and ISBN 0133014584.
