Opis

An introductory textbook on the Finite Element Method for senior undergraduate and graduate students in engineering disciplines. Each chapter engages students with the comprehensive theory and mathematical framework by manually solving a case study of an engineering problem step by step, followed by a complete implementation in MATLAB (R).

Recenzje

'An enormously accessible, didactic, and comprehensive text treating key engineering topics and providing the reader with the necessary elements of linear algebra, numerical methods, and meshing techniques, as well as numerous programming examples using MATLAB®. Professor Li's book can be used by teachers in the classroom for final-year undergraduate and graduate students, and by anyone else interested in learning the theory and computational implementation of the finite element method.'
