This comprehensive volume is unique in presenting the typically decoupled fields of Matrix Structural Analysis (MSA) and Finite Element Methods (FEM) in a cohesive framework.
Focused on coding, the te.
FEM builds on this foundation with numerical approximation techniques for solving boundary value problems in steady-state heat and linear elasticity.
MSA is used not only to derive formulations for truss, beam, and frame elements, but also to develop the overarching framework of Matrix analysis.
