The finite element method: a practical course.

Author(s) : LIU G. R., QUEK S. S.

Type of monograph: Book

Summary

The finite element method (FEM) has become an indispensable technology for the modelling and simulation of engineering systems. The aim of the book is to provide the necessary FEM theories and techniques, thus enabling readers to use a commercial FEM package to solve primarily linear problems in mechanical and civil engineering with the main focus on structural mechanics and heat transfer. The book introduces fundamental and classical theories in a straightforward way. Modern techniques for designing and analysing structural and thermal systems, including microstructural systems, are also explained in detail. Numerous diagrams, tables and real-life case studies are used throughout to demonstrate the theories, methodology, techniques and practical application of the finite element method.
