N2  - The finite element method has become a powerful tool for the numerical solution of a wide range of engineering problems having an enormous range of applications. Furthermore, with the rapid advances in computer technology and CAD systems, complex problems can be modelled with relative ease and several configurations can be tried out on a computer before a prototype is build. This books keeps pace with these developments by integrating basic theory, modelling techniques and computational aspects of the finite elements method. In this method of analysis, a complex region defining a continuum is discretized into simple geometric shapes called finite elements
