This self-tutorial offers a concise yet through grounding in the mathematics necessary for successfully applying FEMs to practical problems in science and engineering. The unique approach first summarizes and outlines the finite-element mathematics in general and then, in the second and major part, formulates problem examples that clearly demonstrate the techniques of functional analysis via numerous and diverse exercises. The solutions of the problems are given directly afterwards. Using this approach, the author motivates and encourages the reader to actively acquire the knowledge of finite- element methods instead of passively absorbing the material, as in most standard textbooks. The enlarged English-language edition, based on the original French, also contains a chapter on the approximation steps derived from the description of nature with differential equations and then applied to the specific model to be used. Self-learning and self-tutorial pedagogical book written in an easy-to-learn way Provides Students of various Engineering disciplines and maths the mathematicalBasis of Finite Element Methods Unique teaching method which explains the analysis using exercises and detailed solutions Ideal for autodidacts Enables active learning INDICE: Digest of the finite element course.- Come fundamental classes of finite elements.- Variational formulations.- Finite Elements in the mechanics of deformable solids.- Finite Elements applied to the resistance of materials.- Finite Elements applied to non-linear problems.
