Publisher's Synopsis
* New material on recovery, accuracy, error estimates and adaptivity. * Increased coverage of mixed and hybrid methods including the Discontinuous Galerkin and Enhanced Strain Methods. * Expanded chapter on incompressible behaviour and stabilization procedures. * Up to date coverage of meshless (element free) methods. "...the publication of the first edition was an epoch making event...it is written by...the greatest theorist of the subject. If you are serious about finite elements, this is a book that you simply cannot afford to be without." International Journal of Numerical Methods in Engineering. "...the pre-eminent reference work on finite element analysis." Applied Mechanical Review. "...a very good book...presentation is first class...will be of great assistance to all engineers and scientists interested in the method...a very commendable piece of work. - "Journal of the British Society for Strain Measurement.
