Date: 2005 ISBN: 978-0-7506-6320-5 No. Pages: 792 Author(s)/Editor(s): By: Zienkiewicz, O.C.; Taylor, R.L.; Zhu, J.Z. Knovel Release Date: Jan 7, 2008 Description: This influential best-selling book provides a fo rmidable resource covering the theory and the application of FEM, including the basis of the method, its application to advanced solid and structural mechanics and to computational fluid dynamics. It delivers the most up-to-date and compreh ensive text and reference yet on the basis of the finite element method (FEM) fo r all engineers and mathematicians. Since the appearance of the first edition 38 years ago, this volume provides arguably the most authoritative introductory te xt to the method, covering the latest developments and approaches in this dynami c subject, and is amply supplemented by exercises, worked solutions and computer algorithms. Active research has shaped this volume into the pre-eminent tool f or the modelling of physical systems. It maintains the comprehensive style of ea rlier editions, while presenting the systematic development for the solution of problems modelled by linear differential equations. This volume includes: t he classic introduction to the finite element method, by two of the subject's le ading authors materials for any professional or student of engineering involv ed in understanding the computational modelling of physical systems enhanceme nts that include more worked examples, exercises, plus a companion website with a worked solutions manual for tutors and downloadable algorithms Last Update Date: Feb 8, 2011 Update Description: 147 Digitized Graphs have been added.
