TY - BOOK AU - Gadala, Mohamed TI - Finite elements for engineers with Ansys applications SN - 9781107194083 U1 - 620.0015 GAD-M PY - 2021/// CY - United Kingdom PB - Cambridge University Press KW - Engineering mathematics KW - Finite element method N1 - The finite element method (FEM) is indispensable in modelling and simulation various engineering and physical systems, including structural analysis, stress, strain, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, dynamics, eigenproblems, design optimisation, sound propagation, electromagnetics, and coupled field problems. This textbook integrates basic theory with real-life, design-oriented problems using ANSYS, the most commonly used computational software. For students and practising engineers and designers, each chapter is highly illustrated and presented step-by-step. Fundamental concepts are explained in detail concerning easy to understand worked examples that introduce the method before progressing to more advanced content. Included are step-by-step solutions for project type problems using modelling software, special chapters for modelling and the use of ANSYS and Workbench programs, and extensive sets of issues and projects to round out each branch. "The finite element method (FEM) is indispensable in modelling and simulation in various engineering and physical systems, including structural analysis, stress, strain, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, dynamics, eigenproblems, design optimisation, sound propagation, electromagnetics, and coupled field problems. Incorporating theory, development of the method, and the use of FEM in the commercial sector, this textbook integrates basic theory with real-life, design-oriented problems using ANSYS, the most commonly used computational software in the field."
