Book Description:
|
This is a textbook written for mechanical engineering students at first-year graduate level. As such, it emphazises the development of finite element methods used in applied mechanics. The book starts with fundamental formulations of heat conduction and linear elasticity and derives the weak form (i.e. the principle of virtual work in elasticity) from a boundary value problem that represents the mechanical behaviour of solids and fluids.
