Introduction to Linear and Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis A Computational Approach

Modern finite element analysis has grown into a basic mathematical tool for almost every field of engineering and the applied sciences. This introductory textbook fills a gap in the literature, offering a concise, integrated presentation of methods, applications, software tools, and hands-on projects. Included are numerous exercises, problems, and Mathematica/Matlab-based programming projects. The emphasis is on interdisciplinary applications to serve a broad audience of advanced undergraduate/graduate students with different backgrounds in applied mathematics, engineering, physics/geophysics. The work may also serve as a self-study reference for researchers and practitioners seeking a quick introduction to the subject for their research.Kythe, Prem K. is the author of 'Introduction to Linear and Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis A Computational Approach' with ISBN 9783764343088 and ISBN 3764343087.
