The Finite Element Method A Primer - Jacobo Bielak - Hardcover - en Book

This Textbook Introduces The Widely Used Numerical Technique Fem In Various Engineering Disciplines For The Analysis Of Structures, Heat Transfer, Fluid Dynamics, And Other Physical Phenomena. Appropriate For Interested Senior Undergraduate Engineering Students And Beginner Graduate Students In A One-semester Introductory Course, This Book Provides A Clear Understanding Of The Main Issues In Fem. Looking At The Fem As A Variational Approximation Methodthatuses Localized Piecewise Polynomial Basis Functions For The Solution Of Boundary-value Problems (bvp) And Initial Boundary-value Problems (ibvp), The Book Uses Examples To Apply This Technique To Various Problems Of Physical Interest, E.g., Elasticity, Heat Conduction, Advection-diffusion, Etc.
