FINITE ELEMENT METHOD CRASH COURSE WITH COMSOL

The book “ Finite Element Method Crash Course with COMSOL” is written for beginners who want to understand the finite element method and be able to use COMSOL Multiphysics software in a short time. The book contains 13 chapters in the fields of solid mechanics, heat transfer and fluid flows, In each chapter, the governing differential equations and finite element formulation are presented. An academic example is used to demonstrate the CONSOL software procedure for solving it in detail. An application example is included at the end of each chapter to highlight the the software capability for analyzing realistic problems. The last chapter highlight the software’s ability to analyze various types of differential equations. The software is thus suitable for learning the finite element method to solve problem in many fields.
