This influential best-selling book 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. It 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, this volume 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. Active research has shaped this volume 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. This volume includes: the classic introduction to the finite element method, by two of the subject's leading authors materials for any professional or student of engineering involved in understanding the computational modelling of physical systems enhancements that include more worked examples, exercises, plus a companion website with a worked solutions manual for tutors and downloadable algorithms
