Description and Table of Contents

Description

A graduate-level text that shows how to write finite element programs or alter existing codes. The book surveys techniques for solving non-linear problems, including incompressible viscous fluid flow and non-linear heat transfer problems. It presents the finite element method, (FEM), explaining approximate solutions to second order linear and non-linear partial differential equations. The book also treats error estimate and non-linear algorithms, and offers numerous exercises, illustrations and computer programs.

Time-Dependent Problems. Numerical Solution of Nonlinear Algebraic Systems. Applications to Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations. Variational Inequalities. Appendixes. References. Index.
