Finite Element Computations in Mechanics with R
"Finite Element Computations in Mechanics with R: A Problem-Centred Programming Approach provides introductory coverage of the finite element method (FEM) with the R programming language, emphasizing links between theory and implementation of FEM for problems in engineering mechanics. Useful for students, practicing engineers, and researchers, the text presents the R programming as a convenient easy-to-learn tool for analyzing models of mechanical systems, with finite element routines for structural, thermal, and dynamic analyses of mechanical systems, and also visualization of the results. Full-color graphics are used throughout the text."--Provided by publisher.
