Summary:"The finite element method has matured to the point that it can accurately and reliably be used, by a careful analyst, for a wide range of applications. With expanded coverage and an increase in fully solved examples, the second edition of Finite Element Analysis: Thermomechanics of Solids presents a unified treatment of the finite element method in thermomechanics, from basics to advanced notions." "The presentation is designed to be integrated with continuum mechanics and relevant mathematics, and there is persistent reliance on variational and incremental-variational foundations. The author exploits matrix-vector and tensor formalisms and Kronecker product algebra to provide transparent and consistent notation throughout the text. As in the first edition, the author presents and explicates topics in a way that demonstrates the highly unified structure of the finite element method."--BOOK JACKET.
