Development and Application of the Finite Element Method based on MATLAB *2010*

Herbert Baaser, "Development and Application of the Finite Element Method based on MATLAB"
Springer 2010 ISBN: 3642131522 64 pages PDF 1 MB
From preface:

The intention of this booklet is a brief but general introduction into the
treatment of the Finite Element Method (FEM)
...

In the main focus are students of applied mechanics, mechanical and civil
engineering sciences and interested CAx engineers doing their daily job and
want to know what happens behind. For all of them, this book enables a
self–study in doing and implementation of given or self developed algorithm
within the wide field of the Finite Element Method. Thus, one can easily go
into a training in basics of element and material formulations.
Additionally, some sections or hints may animate the reader for a critical
reflexion of his doing in using commercial FE codes and relating applications.
Often, this enables an increase of effectivity in the state of development when
there is a open tool for implementations before one goes to the user interfaces
of commercial FE systems. By that understanding, the FEM can also be seen
as optimal approximation method for nonlinear (solid) continuum mechanics
as well for the spatial description as for the nonlinearities of the material law,
which become a more and more relevance in engineering simulations.
