Theoretical, conceptual, and computational aspects of the finite element method are developed. Development of the element relationships, element calculations, and assembly of the finite element equations are covered. Both one- and two-dimensional finite element problems are considered. One-dimensional problem areas include elastic deformation, heat conduction, fluid flow, electrostatics, groundwater flow, mass transport, beams on elastic foundations, etc. Two-dimensional problem areas include Poisson's equation, viscous incompressible flow, plane elasticity, and bending of elastic plates.
