Inhaltsangabe

This key text is written for senior undergraduate and graduate engineering students. It delivers a complete introduction to finite element methods and to automatic adaptation (error estimation) that will enable students to understand and use FEA as a true engineering tool. It has been specifically developed to be accessible to non-mathematics students and provides the only complete text for FEA with error estimators for non-mathematicians. Error estimation is taught on nearly half of all FEM courses for engineers at senior undergraduate and postgraduate level; no other existing textbook for this market covers this topic.

Über diesen Titel

Von der hinteren Coverseite

In modern engineering analysis it is rare to find a project that does not require some type of finite element analysis (FEA) and error estimation is the key to automating the adaptation of the FEA process. This key textbook delivers a complete introduction to finite element methods and to automatic adaptation, enabling students to understand and use FEA as a true engineering tool. In addition to basic finite element theory, the book covers error estimation processes and associated computational procedures.

Key features:

A complete course textbook, supported by a primer chapter on mathematical preliminaries including functional analysis
Specifically developed to be accessible to non-mathematics students
Delivers a clear understanding of the theory and limitations of automatic adaptation based on error analysis
Ideal for users of ANSYS, ABAQUS, NASTRAN, MARC and other FEM software
Includes detailed example applications in linear heat transfer, stress analysis and other fields
Online support material, including a finite element library of Fortran 95 source programs, application and data files, plus an extensive suite of MATLAB plotting scripts
Includes homework exercises, with separate online instructor solutions manual|In modern engineering analysis it is rare to find a project that does not require some type of finite element analysis (FEA) and error estimation is the key to automating the adaptation of the FEA process.
