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 (/go/bhatti) includes interactive application files and notebooks for Mathematica®, MATLAB®, ANSYS®, and ABAQUS®, with expanded exercises to use with the book. 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.

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. 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).
