Description
The sixth editions of these seminal books deliver the most up to date and comprehensive reference yet on the finite element method for
all engineers and mathematicians. Renowned for their scope, range and authority, the new editions have been significantly developed in
terms of both contents and scope. Each book is now complete in its own right and provides self-contained reference; used together they
provide a formidable resource covering the theory and the application of the universally used FEM. Written by the leading professors
in their fields, the three books cover the basis of the method, its application to solid mechanics and to 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.
