Incorporating new topics and original material, Introduction to Finite and
Spectral Element Methods Using MATLAB
®
, Second Edition helps you quickly
understand the theoretical foundation and practical implementation of the nite
element method and its companion spectral element method. You’ll gain hands-
on computational experience by using the free online FSELIB library of MATLAB
®
functions and codes. With the book as a user guide, you can immediately run the
codes and graphically display solutions to a variety of elementary and advanced
problems.
New to the Second Edition
• Two new chapters with updated material
• Updated detailed proofs and original derivations
• New schematic illustrations and graphs
• Additional solved problems
• Updated MATLAB software, including improved and new computer functions
as well as complete nite element codes incorporating domain discretization
modules in three dimensions
This self-contained book introduces the fundamentals on a need-to-know basis
and emphasizes the development of algorithms and the computer implementation
of essential procedures. The text rst explains basic concepts and develops the
algorithms before addressing problems in solid, uid, and structural mechanics.
Features
• Develops the methods in the broad context of ordinary and partial differential
equations
• Discusses applications and implementations for Laplace, Helmholtz, Stokes,
Navier–Stokes, elasticity, structural mechanics, and other areas
• Emphasizes essential algorithms and computer implementation
• Provides self-contained grid-generation modules
• Gives a concise MATLAB primer in an appendix
• Offers the FSELIB library and other resources on a supplementary Web site
