Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The finite element method is a numerical procedure for solving the ordinary and partial differential equations that commonly arise in engineering and mathematical physics. This text offers a complete, self-contained introduction to the theory and application of finite element methods in solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, and optimization. The authors' extensive practical experience in the field allows for a text well balanced between theory and application. Techniques for formatting finite element apparatus to problems are carefully explained. Programming techniques for solving resulting FEM problems also receive comprehensive treatment. Worked examples are scattered throughout the text.

Includes bibliographical references and indexes.

Part I: Introduction to finite elements -- Part II: Applications to the statics of solids -- Part III: Non-linear and time-dependent problems and FEM programming -- Part IV: Finite elements in fluid flow and other field problems -- Part V: Further applications of the finite element method.
