Short description
The Finite Element Method (FEM) is a powerful technique originally developed for numerical solution of complex problems in structural mechanics, and it remains the method of choice for complex systems. Thoroughly updated, revised and condensed by a world leading researcher and his team, the new edition of this landmark computational mechanics text retains and builds upon the book's reputation and appeal amongst students and engineers alike. Practicing engineers who either want to write nonlinear FEA routines, or who want a better understanding of those in commercial FEA packages will appreciate the authors' integrated and consistent style and unrivalled engineering approach.
