Résumé

This book deals with the fundamentals of the finite element method. Beginning with the concept of one-dimensional heat transfer, the book progresses through two-dimensional elements and ultimately ends with a discussion on three-dimensional elements. Each chapter contains a set of example problems and exercises. Overall, the book is useful in describing how to develop and utilize finite element methodology to numerically solve problems.

L'auteur - Darrell W. Pepper

Dr. Pepper received his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of Missouri in 1973 and subsequently held positions as research staff engineer, professor of mechanical engineering, and chief scientist. He is currently Professor and Chairman of Mechanical Engineering and Director of the Nevada Center for Advanced Computational Methods, both at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. A member of ASME, AIAA, and Sigma Xi, Dr. Pepper has authored over 160 technical papers, co-authored three books, and co-editor two books. He is presently Associate Editor of Journal of Thermophysics and Heat Transfer, a member of the Editorial Board of Journal of Numerical Heat Transfer, and a member of several ASME committees.

L'auteur - Juan C. Heinrich

Dr. Heinrich received his undergraduate degree in Chile and his Ph.D. in mathematical/numerical analysis from the University of Pittsburgh. He is currently Professor in the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Arizona. A member of several professional societies, including ASME and ASCE, Professor Heinrich is a reviewer for numerous journals. A consultant to several major corporations, he has had more that 40 papers published in refereed journals and has presented his research to scientists both here and in Europe.
