Description
The Sixth Edition of this influential best-selling book delivers the most up-to-date and comprehensive text and reference yet on the basis
of the finite element method (FEM) for all engineers and mathematicians. Since the appearance of the first edition 38 years ago, The
Finite Element Method provides arguably the most authoritative introductory text to the method, covering the latest developments and
approaches in this dynamic subject, and is amply supplemented by exercises, worked solutions and computer algorithms.
• The classic
FEM text, written by the subject's leading authors
• Enhancements include more worked examples and exercises, plus a companion website
with a solutions manual and downloadable algorithms
• With a new chapter on automatic mesh generation and added materials on shape function
development and the use of higher order elements in solving elasticity and field problems
Active research has shaped The Finite Element
Method into the pre-eminent tool for the modelling of physical systems. It maintains the comprehensive style of earlier editions, while
presenting the systematic development for the solution of problems modelled by linear differential equations.
Together with the second
and third self-contained volumes (0750663219 and 0750663227), The Finite Element Method Set (0750664312) provides a formidable resource
covering the theory and the application of FEM, including the basis of the method, its application to advanced solid and structural mechanics
and to computational fluid dynamics.
Audience:
Senior students, researchers and practicing engineers in mechanical, automotive, aeronautical and civil engineering. Key topic for applied mathematicians and engineering software developers.
