Paperback. A powerful tool for the approximate solution of differential equations, the finite element is extensively used in industry and research. This book offers students of engineering and physics a comprehensive view of the principles involved, with numerous illustrative examples and exercises.Starting with continuum boundary value problems and the need for numerical discretization, the text examines finite difference methods, weighted residual methods in the context of continuous trial functions, and piecewise defined trial functions and the finite element method. Additional topics include higher order finite element approximation, mapping and numerical integration, variational methods, and partial discretization and time-dependent problems. A survey of generalized finite elements and error estimates concludes the text. This book offers students of engineering and physics a comprehensive view of the principles involved in the finite element, with numerous illustrative examples and exercises. 1983 edition. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
