Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Emphasizing how one applies FEM to practical engineering problems, this text provides a thorough introduction to the methods of finite analysis and applies these methods to problems of stress analysis, thermal analysis, fluid flow analysis, and lubrication.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
