Bücher der Reihe Applied and Computational Mechanics

Illustrates what a user must know to ensure the optimal application of computational procedures - particularly the Finite Element Method - to important problems associated with heat conduction, incompressible viscous flows, and convection heat transfer. This book presents realistic, applied examples of FEM in thermal and fluid design analysis.

Presents a summary of the equations governing composite laminates and offers practical methods for analyzing the common types of composite structural elements. This book features practical analysis using Designing Advanced Composites (DAC), a PC-based software on the subject. It is suitable for graduate courses in mechanical engineering.
