Written by authors who are well-known in the field of engineering, Int roductory Finite Element Method, an expanded version of the Elementary Finite Element Method published in 1979, represents the first work to deal with both structural analysis and flow problems at an elementary level. It not only appeals to undergraduate and beginning graduate en gineering students, but to those outside the field and practitioners a s well. Using this text, students will be able to form the functional and construct the element and global equations for a wide range of fie ld problems. It can easily be used...
