Introduction to the Finite Element Method and Implementation with MATLAB®

Connecting theory with numerical techniques using MATLAB this practical textbook equips students with the tools required to solve finite element problems. This hands-on guide covers a wide range of engineering problems through nine well-structured chapters including solid mechanics heat transfer and fluid dynamics; equilibrium steady state and transient; and 1-D 2-D and 3-D problems. Engineering problems are discussed using case study examples which are solved using a systematic approach both by...See More
