Book Description
Highlights the Progression of Meshing Technologies and Their Applications Finite Element Mesh Generation provides a concise and comprehensive guide to the application of finite element mesh generation over 2D domains, curved surfaces, and 3D space. Organised according to the geometry and dimension of the problem domains, it develops from the basic meshing algorithms to the most advanced schemes to deal with problems with specific requirements such as boundary conformity, adaptive and anisotropic elements, shape qualities, and mesh optimization. It sets out the fundamentals of popular techniques, including: Delaunay triangulation Advancing-front (ADF) approach Quadtree/Octree techniques Refinement and optimization-based strategies From the geometrical and the topological aspects and their associated operations and inter-relationships, each approach is vividly described and illustrated with examples. Beyond the algorithms, the book also explores the practice of using metric tensor and surface curvatures for generating anisotropic meshes on parametric space. It presents results from research including 3D anisotropic meshing, mesh generation over unbounded domains, meshing by means of intersection, re-meshing by Delaunay-ADF approach, mesh refinement and optimization, generation of hexahedral meshes, and large scale and parallel meshing, along with innovative unpublished meshing methods. The author provides illustrations of major meshing algorithms, pseudo codes, and programming codes in C++ or FORTRAN. Geared toward research centers, universities, and engineering companies, Finite Element Mesh Generation describes mesh generation methods and fundamental techniques, and also serves as a valuable reference for laymen and experts alike.

Book Description
The numerical simulation of physical problems expressed in terms of partial differential equations (so-called PDE's) using a finite element, finite volume, boundary element, or any other numerical method requires the discretization of the domain of interest into a set of elements, i.e. a mesh. The differential equations are approximated by a set of algebraic equations on this mesh, this set being then solved to provide the approximate solution of the partial differential system over the field. The discretization requires certain properties for the solution to be exploitable and must at least conform to all domain boundaries in order to accurately represent boundary conditions. Consequently, the mesh generation stage, as an essential pre-requisite, is of utmost importance in the computational schemes, as it is related to the convergence of the computational scheme as well as to the accuracy of the numerical solutions. There is indeed a variety of algorithms suitable to produce such meshes. Some of these methods are designed to handle specific geometric situations while others can be used in a more general context. User-driven, semi-automatic as well as fully automatic methods exist leading to structured, unstructured or mixed meshes. The mesh generation problems are mainly related to the boundary meshing (line, curve and surface meshing) and domain meshing issues (planar domain or volumetric domain). Numerous computational issues must be carefully addressed for designing reliable and robust meshing algorithms. These issues concern computer-related data structures and algorithms (low-level routines) as well as advanced data structures and computational schemes (high-level routines). In this regard, basic computational tools, geometric and discrete geometric notions, computational and mesh data structures, element and mesh definitions are of significant importance. The aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive survey of the different algorithms and data structures useful for triangulation and meshing construction. In addition, several aspects will also be described, for instance mesh modification tools, mesh evaluation criteria, mesh optimization, including even adaptive mesh construction as well as parallel meshing techniques.

Book Description
Computational structural mechanics (CSM) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) have emerged in the last two decades as new disciplines combining structural mechanics and fluid dynamics with approximation theory, numerical analysis and computer science. Their use has transformed much of theoretical mechanics and abstract science into practical and essential tools for a multitude of technological developments which affect many facets of our life. This collection of over 40 papers provides an authoritative documentation of major advances in both CSM and CFD, helping to identify future directions of development in these rapidly changing fields. Key areas covered are fluid structure interaction and aeroelasticity, CFD technology and reacting flows, micromechanics, stability and eigenproblems, probabilistic methods and chaotic dynamics, perturbation and spectral methods, element technology (finite volume, finite elements and boundary elements), adaptive methods, parallel processing machines and applications, and visualization, mesh generation and artificial intelligence interfaces.

Book Description
Mesh generation is a necessary prerequisite for the numerical analysis of engineering problems--both geometrically complicated and large size. With an increasing need for automatic applications to accomplish these complicated tasks, it offers an in-depth survey of existing techniques for mesh generation. A number of problems are given and their solutions carefully explained. Also includes detailed coverage of traditional structured grids along with unstructured meshes of triangles and tetrahedra.

Book Description
Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thougtit that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 31 (thesis year 1986) a total of 11 ,480 theses titles trom 24 Canadian and 182 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base tor these titles reported will greatly enhance the value ot this important annual reterence work. While Volume 31 reports theses submitted in 1986, on occasion, certain univer sities do re port theses submitted in previousyears but not reported at the time.
