Developed from the authors, combined total of 50 years\nundergraduate and graduate teaching experience, this book presents\nthe finite element method formulated as a general-purpose numerical\nprocedure for solving engineering problems governed by partial\ndifferential equations. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFocusing on the formulation and application of the finite element\nmethod through the integration of finite element theory, code\ndevelopment, and software application, the book is both\nintroductory and self-contained, as well as being a hands-on\nexperience for any student.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis authoritative text on Finite Elements:\u003cbr\u003e\n* Adopts a generic approach to the subject, and is not application\nspecific\u003cbr\u003e\n* In conjunction with a web-based chapter, it integrates code\ndevelopment, theory, and application in one book\u003cbr\u003e\n* Provides an accompanying Web site that includes ABAQUS Student\nEdition, Matlab data and programs, and instructor resources\u003cbr\u003e\n* Contains a comprehensive set of homework problems at the end of\neach chapter\u003cbr\u003e\n* Produces a practical, meaningful course for both lecturers,\nplanning a finite element module, and for students using the text\nin private study.\u003cbr\u003e\n* Accompanied by a book companion website housing supplementary\nmaterial that can be found at\nhttp://www.wileyeurope.com/college/Fish\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA First Course in Finite Elements is the ideal practical\nintroductory course for junior and senior undergraduate students\nfrom a variety of science and engineering disciplines. The\naccompanying advanced topics at the end of each chapter also make\nit suitable for courses at graduate level, as well as for\npractitioners who need to attain or refresh their knowledge of\nfinite elements through private study.
