Description

This is a hands-on textbook aimed at helping readers quickly master the Finite Element Modelling (FEM) process and start developing numerical solutions to real life problems

Cuts out a lot of the technical jargon associated with the FEM process, making the material accessible to both post-graduate students and graduate-level industry staff

Opens up the black box of finite element solver design - helping students learn the key steps required to develop their own finite element models and packages

Additional resources are published on the textbook's website, and include: user-defined material models (as Fortran codes), MATLAB scripts, model generation software, input files for case studies and their analysis

Written in an easy-to-follow style, focusing on helping students with developing their own FE models right from the first chapter
