<p>Finite Element Computations in Mechanics with R: A Problem-Centred Programming Approach provides introductory coverage of the finite element method (FEM) with the R programming language emphasizing links between theory and implementation of FEM for problems in engineering mechanics. Useful for students practicing engineers and researchers the text presents the R programming as a convenient easy-to-learn tool for analyzing models of mechanical systems with finite element routines for structural thermal and dynamic analyses of mechanical systems and also visualization of the results. Full-color graphics are used throughout the text.</p>
