Variational form for boundary value problems N2 - "Fundamental Finite Element Analysis and Applications: with Mathematica and MATLAB Computations is an innovative, practical guide to discovering the Finite Element Method (FEM). Providing a balance between theory and application, it presents the FEM as a tool to find approximate solutions of differential equations, making it a useful resource for students from a variety of disciplines. Using a unique combination of live Mathematica and MATLAB implementations, along with problems in both ANSYS and ABAQUS formats, this hands-on book reveals the logic behind the equations to facilitate a full understanding of methods and solutions." "Fundamental Finite Element Analysis with Mathematica and MATLAB Computations is a learning tool for senior undergraduate and graduate-level students."--Jacket UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0414/2004002270.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0616/2004002270-b.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0616/2004002270-d.html ER -
