Fundamental Finite Element Analysis And Appllications With Mathematica and MATLAB Computations

A unique, hands-on introduction to the Finite Element Method Fundamental Finite Element Analysis and Applications: with Mathematica and MATLAB Computations is an innovative, practical guide to discovering the Finite Element Method (FEM). Providing a helpful balance between theory and application, it presents the FEM as a tool to find approximate solutions of differential equations, making it a useful resource for students from a variety of disciplines. Using a unique combination of live Mathematica and MATLAB implementations, along with problems in both ANSYS and ABAQUS formats, this hands-on book reveals the logic behind the equations to facilitate a full understanding of methods and solutions. In nine convenient chapters, Fundamental Finite Element Analysis and Applications: with Mathematica and MATLAB Computations covers: Finite Element Method: The Big Picture Mathematical Foundation of the Finite Element Method One-Dimensional Boundary Value Problems Trusses, Beams, and Frames Two-Dimensional Elements Mapped Elements Analysis of Elastic Solids Transient Problems p-Formulation An associated Web site (wiley.com/go/bhatti) includes interactive application files and notebooks for Mathematica , MATLAB , ANSYS , and ABAQUS , with expanded exercises to use with the book. Fundamental Finite Element Analysis with Mathematica and MATLAB Computations is a clear and accessible learning tool for senior undergraduate and graduate-level students.Bhatti, M.
