Introduction to the Finite Element Method

Article number 10125936

Providing a systematic approach and simple introduction to the finite element method, this self-contained text will enable the reader to obtain a clear understanding of the concepts involved in this traditionally complicated methodology. The book: contains a detailed derivation of all differential equations uses the weak formulation in combination with the Galerkin method adopts a style which enables the reader to undertake individual study includes many real-world examples ranging from scalar field problems to vector field problems The authors are both professors at the University of Lund, Sweden, where for many years, they have taught advanced undergraduate courses and carried out research in the finite element method and numerical stress analysis.
