Numerical Methods for Engineers

Although pseudocodes, Mathematica®, and MATLAB® illustrate how algorithms work, designers of engineering systems write the vast majority of large computer programs in the Fortran language. Using Fortran 95 to solve a range of practical engineering problems, Numerical Methods for Engineers, Second Edition provides an introduction to numerical methods, incorporating theory with concrete computing exercises and programmed examples of the techniques presented. Covering a wide range of numerical applications that have immediate relevancy for engineers, the book describes forty-nine programs in Fortran 95. Many of the programs discussed use a sub-program library called nm_lib that holds twenty-three subroutines and functions. In addition, there is a precision module that controls the precision of calculations. Well-respected in their field, the authors discuss a variety of numerical topics related to engineering. Some of the chapter features include... <ul> <li>The numerical solution of sets of linear algebraic equations </li> <li>Roots of single nonlinear equations and sets of nonlinear equations </li> <li>Numerical quadrature, or numerical evaluation of integrals </li> <li>An introduction to the solution of partial differential equations using finite difference and finite element approaches Describing concise programs that are constructed using sub-programs wherever possible, this book presents many different contexts of numerical analysis, forming an excellent introduction to more comprehensive subroutine libraries such as the numerical algorithm group (NAG).</li> </ul>

This title demonstrates how to develop computer programmes which solve specific engineering problems using the finite element method. It enables students, scientists and engineers to assemble their own computer programmes to produce numerical results to solve these problems. The first three editions of Programming the Finite Element Method established themselves as an authority in this area. This fully revised 4th edition includes completely rewritten programmes with a unique description and list of parallel versions of programmes in Fortran 90. The Fortran programmes and subroutines described in the text will be made available on the Internet via anonymous ftp, further adding to the value of this title.

Presents compact and portable FORTRAN programs for solution of problems using the finite element method. All code is presented in full, and the user is encouraged to look into the subroutines to see how they actually work. Covers the main areas of engineering analysis: equilibrium, transient, and eigenvalue problems. In the structures/solid mechanics area, programs solve problems ranging from simple structural analysis, through linear elastic analyses of two-dimensional solids with a variety of finite elements, to complex three-dimensional analyses involving nonlinear material properties. Dynamics applications are covered, including both time-domain and eigenvalue problems. Programs for solving transient problems of fluid/heat flow are presented, including novel, element-by-element algorithms.

Fortran 90 is the most radical revision ever of this popular language, bringing it up to date with current thinking in programming language development. This is the first book aimed directly at problem solving for Engineers and Scientists using the new features of Fortran 90. It can be used as a complete text for students learning Fortran for the first time. It is also a conversion text for those updating from Fortran 77, as differences between Fortran 90 and Fortran 77 are outlined. Array handling and subroutine structures are dealt with as these are a prominent feature of engineers' programs. Emphasis is put on problem exercises for students and on substantial case histories. Model answers to all exercises and cases are given. The programs are available on the Internet via anonymous ftp.

Programming the Finite Element Method Third Edition I. M. Smith University of Manchester, UK. D. V. Griffiths Colorado School of Mines, USA. Following the highly successful previous editions, this Third edition contains programs and subroutine libraries fully updated in Fortran 90, which are also available on the Internet via anonymous ftp. A wide variety of new problem solving analyses are presented, including classical structural analysis, elasticity and plasticity, steady state and transient fluid flow, linear and non-linear solid dynamics and construction processes in geomechanics. The authors provide: * a clear outline of programming philosophy * programs which illustrate analytic rather than numerical evaluation of element properties * exercises for students to solve Unique elements of the text include: * practical problems in Fortran 90 * instructions to the reader for developing their own computer programs which use the finite element method to solve specific problems * guidelines towards vectorisable/parallelisable programs * 'Mesh-free' or 'element-by-element' techniques supplanting traditional 'mesh-dependent' or 'global element assembly' methods in every chapter. These improvements all contribute to a more comprehensive book with a wide appeal, but which will be of particular interest to students and practitioners in the application of the finite element method, and problems related to its use; undergraduates and postgraduates in civil engineering (applications in fields of Geomechanics), mechanical engineering (stress and fluid flow problems), applied mathematics and physics (solution of partial differential equations), and engineers in the fields as indicated above.

Numerical Methods for Engineers: A Programming Approach is devoted to solving engineering problems using numerical methods. It covers all areas of introductory numerical methods and emphasizes techniques of programming in FORTRAN 77, and developing subprograms using FORTRAN functions and subroutines. In this way, the book serves as an introduction to using powerful mathematical subroutine libraries. Over 40 main programs are provided in the text and all subroutines are listed in the Appendix. Each main program is presented with a sample data-set and output, and all FORTRAN programs and subroutines described in the text can be obtained on disk from the publisher. Numerical Methods for Engineers: A Programming Approach is an excellent choice for undergraduates in all engineering disciplines, providing a much needed bridge between classical mathematics and computer code-based techniques.

This book is an essential companion volume to Quarantine Pests for Europe, 2nd Edition and Illustrations of Quarantine Pests for Europe. The three titles are the result of collaboration between CABI and EPPO in the compilation of data on the pests of phytosanitary significance for the European and Mediterranean region. This present publication provides updated geographic distributions of over 350 pests for which data sheets and illustrations are already available. A map is provided for each pest showing the current world distribution graphically. This is supported by a list of the countries and provinces in which the pest has been recorded with a coded indication of its current status. Coverage extends to insects, mites, nematodes, fungi, bacteria, viruses and parasitic plants. The pests concerned are either entirely absent from the European and Mediterranean region (A1 list) or have a restricted distribution (A2 list). Text within the book is provided in both English and French.
