Description
T and F CRC Applied Calculus Of Variations For Engineers, 2Nd Edition by Louis Komzsik
The purpose of the calculus of variations is to find optimal solutions to engineering problems whose optimum may be a certain quantity, shape, or function. Applied Calculus of Variations for Engineers addresses this important mathematical area applicable to many engineering disciplines. Its unique, application-oriented approach sets it apart from the theoretical treatises of most texts, as it is aimed at enhancing the engineer’s understanding of the topic. Applied Calculus of Variations for Engineers, Second Edition extends the collection of techniques aiding the engineer in the application of the concepts of the calculus of variations.
Key Features:-
- Contains new chapters discussing analytic solutions of variational problems and Lagrange-Hamilton eq
- Provides new sections detailing the boundary integral and finite element methods and their calculati
- Includes enlightening new examples, such as the compression of a beam, the optimal cross section of
