Finite Elements 
Computational Engineering Sciences

Approaches computational engineering sciences from the
perspective of engineering applications

Uniting theory with hands-on computer practice, this book gives
readers a firm appreciation of the error mechanisms and control
that underlie discrete approximation implementations in the
engineering sciences.

Key features:

* Illustrative examples include heat conduction, structural
mechanics, mechanical vibrations, heat transfer with convection and
radiation, fluid mechanics and heat and mass transport

* Takes a cross-discipline continuum mechanics viewpoint

* Includes Matlab toolbox and .m data files on a companion
website, immediately enabling hands-on computing in all covered
disciplines

* Website also features eight topical lectures from the
author’s own academic courses

It provides a holistic view of the topic from covering the
different engineering problems that can be solved using finite
element to how each particular method can be implemented on a
computer. Computational aspects of the method are provided on a
companion website facilitating engineering implementation in an
easy way.
