Pde Toolbox Primer For Engineering Applications With Matlab Basics

Partial differential equations (PDEs) describe technological phenomena and processes used for the analysis, design, and modeling of technical products. Solutions of spatial and transient PDEs are realized by using the PDE Toolbox included in the MATLAB® software. MATLAB® is introduced here as an essential foundation for PDE, and the Modeler of the PDE Toolbox, with appropriate explanatory solutions, is applied to engineering problems in mechanics, heat/mass transfer, tribology, materials science, physics, and biotechnology. The appendixes contain collections of commands and functions used to solve actual engineering problems. FEATURES Includes the PDE Modeler interface with example solutions of two- and three-dimensional PDEs Presents methodologies for all types of PDEs as representative of any engineering problem Describes the ordinate differential equation (ODE) solver for initial value and boundary value problems (IVP and BVP) through practical examples from mechanics and the thermodynamic properties of materials Covers the basics of MATLAB® to solve both ODEs and PDEs Reviews spatially the one-dimensional PDE solver with actual engineering examples PDE Toolbox Primer for Engineering Applications with MATLAB® Basics is aimed at scientists, students, professionals, practitioners, self-taught readers, and researchers who need concise and clear information to study and apply MATLAB® software and the PDE Toolbox in engineering.

A comprehensive and accessible primer, this tutorial immerses engineers and engineering students in the essential technical skills that will allow them to put Matlab® to immediate use. The book covers concepts such as: functions, algebra, geometry, arrays, vectors, matrices, trigonometry, graphs, pre-calculus and calculus. It then delves into the Matlab language, covering syntax rules, notation, operations, computational programming, and general problem solving in the areas of applied mathematics and general physics. This knowledge can be used to explore the basic applications that are detailed in Misza Kalechman’s companion volume, Practical Matlab Applications for Engineers (cat no. 47760). .

Quickly learn how to do basic computations and plots in MATLAB for engineering applications.

"The main goal of this book is to be the primary source for students, educators, engineers and scientists using ODE, BVP and 1D PDE solvers to solve real ordinary and one-dimensional partial differential equations in various fields of science and technology. An additional goal of the book is to provide the basics of MATLABa required by both beginning and advanced users to work with solvers"--

Practical Matlab Applications for Engineers provides a tutorial for those with a basic understanding of Matlab®. It can be used to follow Misza Kalechman’s, Practical Matlab Basics for Engineers (cat no. 47744). This volume explores the concepts and Matlab tools used in the solution of advanced course work for engineering and technology students. It covers the material encountered in the typical engineering and technology programs at most colleges. It illustrates the direct connection between theory and real applications. Each chapter reviews basic concepts and then explores those concepts with a number of worked out examples.
