For simplicity, the book deals with problems that are specified in terms of a single set of state variables, such as displacements or temperature. Finally, due to the introductory nature of this text, only linear problems are considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacobo Bielak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031563689\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031563683\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/22\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Jacobo Bielak","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46420451033343,"sku":"9783031563683","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d476a8d8-9432-4295-b9b9-74866f33451b.jpg?v=1734634675","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-finite-element-method-jacobo-bielak-9783031563683","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
