Programming in SCILAB: Theory of Elasticity, Finite and Boundary Element Methods

by M. Ameen

Divided into two parts, this book deals with the theory of elasticity and computational solution of its problems. Part A named theoretical elasticity describes the mathematical theory and the analytical techniques of problem solving. Part B entitled computational elasticity, is devoted to the description of two of the most popular computational methods the finite element and the boundary element methods.
