Description
Today, the finite element method (FEM) has become a common tool for solving engineering problems in many industries for the obvious reasons of its versatility and affordability. This book contains materials applied to mechanical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, and physics. It is written primarily as a simple introduction to the practice of FEM analysis in engineering and physics. It contains many 1D and 2D problems solved by the analytical method, by FEM using hand calculations, and by using ANSYS, COMSOL, and MATLAB software. Results of all the methods have been compared. Companion disc with color figures, code, etc.[Companion disc files available with Amazon proof of purchase by writing to info@merclearning.com]
