A computational technique used to solve complex engineering and mathematical physics problems by dividing continuous systems into smaller, manageable discrete elements. The authors describe an eight-step process for implementing the method, starting with the subdivision of a body and ending with the interpretation of results. The text emphasizes two primary mathematical frameworks for deriving element equations: variational procedures based on energy principles and weighted residual methods, specifically Galerkin’s method. To support the technical application, the source provides an introduction to variational calculus, explaining functions, functionals, and the conditions required for stationary values. Ultimately, the material serves as an undergraduate-level guide that connects theoretical principles with practical computer implementation for analyzing stress, heat flow, and fluid dynamics.
