Thompson\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher: Wiley\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher Imprint: Wiley\u003cbr\u003e • BISAC: Civil - General\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten for students with any engineering or applied science background, Erik Thompson's new text presents the theory, applications, and programming skills needed to understand the finite element method and use it to solve problems in engineering analysis and design. Offering concise, highly practical coverage, this introductory text provides complete finite element codes that can be run on the student version of MATLAB or easily converted to other languages.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis text gives students the opportunity to:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaster the basic theory:\u003c\/b\u003e The text promotes an understanding and appreciation of the theoretical basis of finite element approximations by building on concepts that are intuitive to the students. Throughout, the text uses matrix notation to help students visualize the finite element matrices. Study problems reinforce basic theory.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eExperiment with the code:\u003c\/b\u003e Numerical experiments show how to test programs for possible errors, experiment with boundary conditions, and study accuracy and stability. Code development exercises suggest ways to modify the codes to create additional capabilities. All codes are available on the book's web page along with sample data files for testing them. Each code can be run immediately using only the student version of MATLAB. Because each code is written using explicit programming, they also serve as pseudo-codes that can be used to develop programs in any computer language.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGain hands-on experience:\u003c\/b\u003e Projects, representing a wide variety of engineering disciplines, enable students to conduct analyses of fairly complex problems. Many of these projects encourage investigations of new techniques for using the finite element method.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45203910131863,"sku":"9780471267539","price":26697.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780471267539.webp?v=1769208880","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/introduction-to-the-finite-element-method-theory-programming-and-applications-9780471267539","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
