Synopses & Reviews
This contributed volume, a sequel to Numerical Methods in Coupled Systems (Wiley, 1984), addresses the latest developments in the use of numerical methods to solve transient and coupled problems in engineering . Covers a wide range of topics, from the techniques used for the analysis of various types of flow to the problems encountered in the analysis of solids such as reinforced concrete. While most chapters address practical problems encountered in everyday engineering work, some deal specifically with the mathematical and computational aspects. Contributors are all internationally renowned experts in their respective fields.
