Thus, the reader is able to identify and eliminate errors contained in finite element models. Three different error analysis techniques are systematically developed from a common theoretical foundation: 1) modeling erros in individual elements; 2) discretization errors in the overall model; 3) point-wise errors in the final stress or strain results. Thoroughly class tested with undergraduate and graduate students. A Unified Approach to the Finite Element Method and Error Analysis Procedures is sure to become an essential resource for students as well as practicing engineers and researchers. * New, simpler element formulation techniques, model-independent results, and error measures * New polynomial-based methods for identifying critical points * New procedures for evaluating sheer/strain accuracy * Accessible to undergraduates, insightful to researchers, and useful to practitioners * Taylor series (polynomial) based * Intuitive elemental and point-wise error measures * Essential background information provided in 12 appendices
