Advanced Applied Finite Element Methods

This book is aimed at senior undergraduates, graduates and engineers. It fills the gap between the numerous textbooks on traditional Applied Mechanics and postgraduate books on Finite Element Methods.Fills the gap between the applied mechanics and finite element methodsDiscusses basic structural concepts and energy theorems, the discrete system, in-plane quadrilateral elements, field problems and mathematical modelling, among other topicsAimed at senior undergraduates, graduates and engineers
