The primary objective in assembling the material presented in the book is to provide a basic working knowledge of the finite element method. A professional quality software product will also be made available to the reader providing over 400 parameter-controlled examples of solved problems."--; "The primary objective in assembling the material presented in the book is to provide a basic working knowledge of the finite element method"-- UR - http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/book/10.1002/9781119993834 ER -
