Sommario/riassunto

Praise for the First Edition:. ""[O]ffers advice on everything from organizing the clinical experience to understanding the legal issues of clinical education....The authors have 32 years of combined teaching experience and are able to offer quality, real life, clear instructions and advice in an easy-to-read book that easily slips into a lab coat pocket for a ready reference. This is a must have for the new clinical instructor as well as a concise reference for those who have been in the trenches but could use some streamlining to their teaching methods.""-- Nursing Education Perspectives.

Note generali

Previous ed.: 2000.

"In the present edition we have decided not to pursue the course of having three contiguous volumes but rather we treat the whole work as an assembly of three separate works, each one capable of being used without the others ... The two further volumes form again separate books ... The first of these is entitled The Finite Element Method in Solid and Structural Mechanics and the second is a text entitled The Finite Element Method in Fluid Dynamics."--Pref.

Sommario/riassunto

The Sixth Edition of this influential best-selling book delivers the most up-to-date and comprehensive text and reference yet on the basis of the finite element method (FEM) for all engineers and mathematicians.  Since the appearance of the first edition 38 years ago, The Finite Element Method provides arguably the most authoritative introductory text to the method, covering the latest developments and approaches in this dynamic subject, and is amply supplemented by exercises, worked solutions and computer algorithms.The classic FEM text, written by the subject's leading authors
