The only complete collection of prevalent approximation methods
Unlike any other resource, Approximate Solution Methods in Engineering Mechanics, Second Edition offers in-depth coverage of the most common approximate numerical methods used in the solution of physical problems, including those used in popular computer modeling packages. Descriptions of each approximation method are presented with the latest relevant research and developments, providing thorough, working knowledge of the methods and their principles.
Approximation methods covered include:
* Boundary element method (BEM)
* Weighted residuals method
* Finite difference method (FDM)
* Finite element method (FEM)
* Finite strip/layer/prism methods
* Meshless method
Approximate Solution Methods in Engineering Mechanics, Second Edition is a valuable reference guide for mechanical, aerospace, and civil engineers, as well as students in these disciplines.
