Advanced Applied Finite Element Methods

by Carl T. F. Ross

Overview

This book is aimed at senior undergraduates, graduates and engineers. It fills the gap between the numerous textbooks on traditional Applied Mechanics and postgraduate books on Finite Element Methods. - Fills the gap between the applied mechanics and finite element methods - Discusses basic structural concepts and energy theorems, the discrete system, in-plane quadrilateral elements, field problems and mathematical modelling, among other topics - Aimed at senior undergraduates, graduates and engineers
