Description
This comprehensive introduction to the finite element method covers its fundamental principles and applications in engineering. The book provides a rigorous yet accessible treatment of various finite elements in one, two, and three dimensions, as well as their use in solving elliptic, parabolic, hyperbolic, and nonlinear equations.
It also explores different variants of the finite element method, including control volume, multipoint flux approximation, nonconforming, mixed, discontinuous, characteristic, adaptive, and multiscale methods. The book includes illustrative computer programs in Fortran and C++ and is accompanied by an extensive set of exercises.
Suitable for upper-level undergraduates and beginning graduate students, as well as professionals in engineering, mathematics, and science, this text serves as a valuable resource for those looking to understand the finite element method and its applications in various fields.
