E-raamat: Modern Computational Methods [Taylor & Francis e-raamat]

A textbook intended to be used in senior undergraduate course on engineering, physics, computer science, or other scientific field. Introduces techniques by which engineers and scientists can obtain numerical results to difficult problems that cannot be solved by simple computational formulas. One section is for students who will need some computational ability but will not necessarily have to solve physical equations; another introduces the basic computational tools of physics; a third contains advanced topics of possible interest to researchers in wave propagation, deformable-body dynamics, compressible fluid flow, and biomechanics. The CD-ROM contains the FORTRAN code used to solve the example problems. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

This book is an introduction to computational mechanics, proceeding from basic computational tools to advanced computational procedures and applications. Emphasis is placed on the numerical techniques and how they form the bases for algorithms. Numerous worked examples in structural mechanics, heat transfer, fluid flow, and biomechanics are given with the numerical codes to illustrate how the methods are applied. A concluding section addresses advanced applications in such areas as finite volume methods and biomechanics.
