A unique, hands-on introduction to the Finite Element Method

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.
