Description
With the revolution in readily available computing power, the finite element method has become one of the most important tools for the modern engineer. This method of analyzing and modeling materials, structures and forms is based on turning physical shapes into mathematical models made up from descriptive nodes, which can be manipulated using matrix methods. However, it is vital that the student fully understands the theory and knowledge that underpin this technique before it is possible to utilize it in practice. Professor Rao, who has many years of teaching experience at one of the country's leading centers of technical excellence, explains the topics from first principles, making use of numerous illustrations and examples and breaking the subject into easily absorbed segments which will guide the reader through the material in stages. Audience: For advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of mechanical, civil, and aeronautical engineering, as well as practicing engineers wishing to update their knowledge.
