ISBN: 082470679X ISBN-13: 9780824706791 Publisher: CRC Press OUR PRICE: $228.00 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: September 2001 Annotation: This book focuses on classical approximate solution techniques such as the finite difference method, the method of weighted residuals, and variation methods, culminating in an introduction to the finite element method (FEM). It describes the approximate solution of ordinary and partial differential equations using the finite difference method, covers the method of weighted residuals, including specific weighting and trial functions, considers variational methods, highlights all aspects associated with the formulation of finite element equations, and outlines meshing of the solution domain, nodal specifications, solution of global equations, solution refinement, and assessment of results. |

Publisher Description: Functions as a self-study guide for engineers and as a textbook for nonengineering students and engineering students, emphasizing generic forms of differential equations, applying approximate solution techniques to examples, and progressing to specific physical problems in modular, self-contained chapters that integrate into the text or can stand alone! This reference/text focuses on classical approximate solution techniques such as the finite difference method, the method of weighted residuals, and variation methods, culminating in an introduction to the finite element method (FEM). Discusses the general notion of approximate solutions and associated errors! With 1500 equations and more than 750 references, drawings, and tables, Introduction to Approximate Solution Techniques, Numerical Modeling, and Finite Element Methods: |
