Programming the Finite Element Method

A comprehensive guide to building modular computer programs for engineering and scientific analysis. This textbook emphasizes a "building block" strategy, utilizing a vast library of FORTRAN subroutines to solve complex partial differential equations through spatial discretisation. The text covers a wide range of applications, including static equilibrium, material non-linearity, and fluid flow, while adapting classic methods for modern high-performance hardware. Special attention is given to parallel processing, featuring the use of MPI libraries, GPUs, and cloud computing to handle large-scale three-dimensional problems. Additionally, the source details modern software integration for data visualisation using tools like ParaView to interpret results effectively. Overall, the work serves as both a theoretical foundation and a practical manual for developing portable and efficient numerical software.Get the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/1119973341?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback&linkCode=ll2&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=02b1d1a0eca61cb597c32cdac008ccde&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlYou can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/civil_engineering_made_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
