Finite Elements

The book offers a comprehensive introduction to finite element methods, emphasizing updated content for research and practical applications. It features an in-depth discussion on saddle-point problems and nonstandard applications, alongside a complete examination of locking phenomena in elasticity. The author thoroughly addresses the numerical solution of elliptic partial differential equations within the framework of Sobolev spaces. It serves as an essential resource for graduate students lacking a strong background in differential equations, particularly in connecting mathematics and engineering through solid mechanics.
