Presents the formulation and application of the Boundary Element Method (BEM), a prominent numerical technique, for analyzing complex material phenomena, specifically creep and fracture. BEM is a numerical method used to solve boundary value problems in science and engineering. The main focus of this book is on the computational mechanics analysis of materials, including the formulation for the…
The Finite Element Method (Fourth Edition) presents a comprehensive and rigorous treatment of the theoretical foundations and numerical formulations of the finite element method (FEM). The book covers variational principles, discretization strategies, interpolation functions, element formulations, and solution techniques for linear and nonlinear problems. It also addresses applications in struc…
Introduction to Fluid Mechanics by Robert W. Fox provides a thorough foundation in the principles governing the behavior of fluids at rest and in motion. The book introduces core concepts such as fluid properties, pressure, hydrostatics, conservation of mass, momentum, and energy, along with detailed analyses of internal and external flows. It emphasizes the physical understanding of fluid beha…
Fundamentals of Hydro- and Aeromechanics by Oskar Tietjens presents a rigorous, systematic foundation for the theoretical principles governing the motion of fluids in both hydrodynamic and aerodynamic contexts. Building on classical mechanics and early developments in continuum theory, Tietjens formulates the mathematical structure of fluid motion through the Navier–Stokes equations, boundary…
