This book introduces readers to modern computational mechanics based
on the finite element method. It helps students succeed in mechanics
courses by showing them how to apply the fundamental knowledge they
gained in the first years of their engineering education to more
advanced topics. In order to deepen readers’ understanding of the
derived equations and theories, each chapter also includes supplementary
problems. These problems start with fundamental knowledge questions on
the theory presented in the chapter, followed by calculation problems.
In total over 80 such calculation problems are provided, along with
brief solutions for each. This book is especially designed to meet
the needs of Australian students, reviewing the mathematics covered in
their first two years at university. The 13-week course comprises three
hours of lectures and two hours of tutorials per week.
