Differential Quadrature and Differential Quadrature Based Element Methods: Theory and Applications
O tej e-knjigi
This book covers new developments and their applications in detail, with accompanying FORTRAN and MATLAB programs to help you overcome difficult programming challenges. It summarises the variety of different quadrature formulations that can be found by varying the degree of polynomials, the treatment of boundary conditions and employing regular or irregular grid points, to help you choose the correct method for solving practical problems.
- Offers a clear explanation of both the theory and many applications of DQM to structural analyses
- Discusses and illustrates reliable ways to apply multiple boundary conditions and develop reliable grid distributions
- Supported by FORTRAN and MATLAB programs, including subroutines to compute grid distributions and weighting coefficients
