Description
This book provides an in-depth background to better understanding of finite element results and techniques for improving accuracy of finite
element methods. Thus, the reader is able to identify and eliminate errors contained in finite element models. Three different error
analysis techniques are systematically developed from a common theoretical foundation: 1) modeling erros in individual elements; 2) discretization
errors in the overall model; 3) point-wise errors in the final stress or strain results.
Thoroughly class tested with undergraduate
and graduate students.
A Unified Approach to the Finite Element Method and Error Analysis Procedures is sure to become
an essential resource for students as well as practicing engineers and researchers.
Audience:
Students and professional engineers involved in advanced structural mechanics; civil, mechanical, and aeronautical engineers involved
in the design of structures that must perform and standup to a wide array of stress.
