Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This book is an elementary text on the finite element method. It is aimed at engineering and science undergraduates with no previous knowledge of the method, and deliberately attempts to keep the mathematics of the subject as straightforward as possible. It is assumed that the reader does understand the basic concepts and equations of elasticity and thermal heat flow, and is familiar with simple matrix algebra.
Bibliography: (pages 297-298) and index.
Background and application -- Introduction to the method -- Discretization of the problem -- Interpolation functions and simplex elements -- Formulation of the element characteristic matrices and vectors for elasticity problems -- Formulation of the element characteristic matrices and vectors for field problems -- Assembly and solution of the finite element equations -- Higher-order element formulations -- Modelling procedures and results processing -- Further applications of the finite element method -- Symmetry, submodelling and validation -- Commercial finite element programs.
