The main emphasis is on the simplest methods suitable for solving two-dimensional continuum mechanics problems, particularly those encountered in the fields of stress analysis, fluid mechanics and heat transfer. Complete FORTRAN programs are presented, described and discussed in detail, and several practical case studies serve to illustrate the methods developed in the book.
Finite element methods are compared and contrasted with finite difference methods, and throughout the level of computer programming, continuum mechanics, numerical analysis, matrix algebra and other mathematics employed corresponds to that normally covered in undergraduate engineering courses.
Contents: Introduction and Structural Analysis; Continuum Mechanics Problems; Finite Element Analysis of Harmonic Problems; Finite Element Meshes; Some Harmonic Problems; Finite Element Analysis of Biharmonic Problems; Some Biharmonic Problems; Further Applications.
Readership: Undergraduates and postgraduates in civil engineering & mechanical engineering and practising engineers.
