Year: 1987 Language: english Author: Thomas J. R. Hughes Genre: Textbook Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 826 Description: The book emphasizes heat conduction and elasticity as primary vehicles for developing finite element methods because of the widespread interest in these theories in the applied sciences. By virtue of the fact that the partial differential equation of heat conduction, namely, the Laplace/Poisson equation, appears under different names in virtually all branches of engineering and physics, most students have had some familiarity with it. Some exposure to the theory of elasticity is also desirable. This can be obtained, for example, in a good advanced course on strength of materials. Students at Caltech and Stanford frequently have taken courses in elasticity simultaneously with finite elements. Background in structural mechanics (i.e., the theory of beams, plates, and shells) is certainly an asset when it comes to studying this book but is not essential. Only Chapters 5 and 6 deal exclusively with this subject, and these chapters may be ignored by students whose primary interests lie elsewhere. It is worth noting that students who have taken this finite element course at Stanford and Caltech have had very diverse backgrounds (e.g., geophysics, chemical engineering, planetary sciences, coastal engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, mathematics, bioengineering, aeronautics and astronautics, material science, physics, earth sciences, environmental engineering, biomechanics, thermosciences, engineering design, applied mechanics, earthquake engineering, and, of course, mechanical and civil engineering). In this spirit the book emphasizes fundamental finite element concepts and techniques applicable to a very broad range of problems and thus constitutes a suitable text for most students in the physical sciences.
