The book “Interval Finite Element Method with MATLAB” provides a comprehensive overview of the interval finite element method (IFEM) and its implementation using MATLAB. The IFEM is a powerful numerical technique for solving engineering problems with uncertain parameters, allowing for the consideration of intervals rather than single values in the analysis.
The book covers the theoretical foundations of the IFEM, including interval arithmetic, interval analysis, and the formulation of finite element equations with interval parameters. It also includes detailed explanations of how to implement the IFEM in MATLAB, with step-by-step instructions and code examples provided throughout.
Readers will learn how to apply the IFEM to a variety of engineering problems, such as structural analysis, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics, with a focus on handling uncertainties in the input data. The book also discusses advanced topics in IFEM, such as sensitivity analysis and optimization.
“Interval Finite Element Method with MATLAB” is a valuable resource for engineers, researchers, and students interested in numerical methods for uncertainty quantification and robust design.
This edition retains the full content with the added advantage of portability, allowing readers to easily access and engage with the material from any device, whether in a classroom or during fieldwork.
