M. Asghar Bhatti ... 720 pages - Publisher: Wiley; 1st edition (February, 2005) ... Language: English - ISBN-10: 0471648086 - ISBN-13: 978-0471648086 ...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. *Finite Element Analysis with Mathematica and Matlab Computations and Practical Applications is an innovative, hands-on and practical introduction to the Finite Element Method that provides a powerful tool for learning this essential analytic method.
