From the Back Cover

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.
