The Basis (Vol. 1) (The Finite Element Method) - Tapa dura

Reseña del editor

In the years since the publication of the previous edition, active research has developed the finite element method into a tool for the modelling of physical systems. This new edition maintains the comprehensive style of the earlier editions and incorporates contemporary research and development from this field. Expanded to three volumes, the book now covers the basis of the method and its application to advanced solid mechanics and also advanced fluid dynamics. This first volume addresses the basis of the finite element method. Aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students, it provides a complete introduction to the method, offering new material on recovery, accuracy, error estimates and adaptivity. This edition also features increased coverage of mixed and hybrid methods including the discontinuous Galerkin and enhanced strain methods, an expanded chapter on incompressible behaviour and stabilization procedures, and updated coverage of meshless (element free) methods.
