Description
Master the Finite Element Method (FEM) with this essential guide designed for advanced students and researchers. Finite Element Modeling in Structural Mechanics: From Bernoulli Beams to Reddy Plates with Examples in Excel, Mathematica and Matlab presents a unique energetic approach to derive governing equations for complex structural models. With practical computational codes in Excel, Wolfram Mathematica, and MATLAB, you can explore numerous exercises by adjusting geometric, boundary, and loading conditions. Additionally, this resource covers key computational techniques that are often overlooked in other texts. Ideal for master's and doctoral students, as well as researchers, this guide equips you with the tools and knowledge needed to excel in advanced structural analysis and automated computation.Key Features
- Deepening theoretical understanding by employing an energetic methodology to derive FEM equations, providing a robust and generalizable framework that surpasses traditional static approaches. This approach facilitates the understanding of complex structural behaviors and the formulation of governing equations for advanced models
- Bridges the gap between theory and practice by providing step-by-step guidance on developing FEM codes using accessible tools such as Excel, Mathematica, and MATLAB. This practical approach equips readers with the skills needed to create and adapt their own computational tools for advanced structural analysis
- From one-dimensional Bernoulli, Timoshenko, and Reddy beam models to two-dimensional Kirchhoff and Mindlin plate theories, the book systematically builds up the complexity of structural models, ensuring a thorough understanding of each stage
