This revision updates and expands the already large number of problems and worked-out examples and brings the technical coverage in line with current practices. Readers will get details on non-traditional applications in bioengineering, fluid, and thermal sciences, in addition to solid and structural mechanics. Written by a recognized mechanical engineering expert, An Introduction to the Finite Element Method, Fourth Edition, teaches, step-by-step, how to determine numerical solutions to equilibrium as well as time-dependent problems from fluid and thermal sciences and structural mechanics. Beginning with differential equations, the book presents a self-contained approach to the construction of weak forms, interpolation theory, finite element equations and their solution, and computer implementation. The author provides a solutions manual as well as computer programs that are available for download. https://www.mheducation.co.in/introduction-to-finite-element-method-9789390385270-india ER -
