Precursors of Isogeometric Analysis Finite Elements, Boundary Elements, and Collocation Methods /

This self-contained book addresses the three most popular computational methods in CAE (finite elements, boundary elements, collocation methods) in a unified way, bridging the gap between CAD and CAE. It includes applications to a broad spectrum of engineering (benchmark) application problems, such...
