The Finite Element Method, Sixth Edition: Volume 1: The Basis

In the ten years since the fourth edition of this seminal work was published, active research has developed the Finite Element Method into a tool for the modelling of physical systems. Written by the pre-eminent professors in their fields, this new edition of the Finite Element Method maintains the comprehensive style of the earlier editions and authoritatively incorporates the latest developments of this dynamic field. Expanded to three volumes the book now covers the basis of the method and its application to advanced solid mechanics and also advanced fluid dynamics. Volume One: The Basis covers the basis of the Finite Element Method. Aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students, it provides a complete introduction to the method.
