An Introduction to the Finite Element Method with the Variational Approach offers a comprehensive solution to the gaps often found in introductory texts on the Finite Element Method (FEM). The book provides a thorough introduction to the fundamental principles of linear and time-independent FEM within the variational framework. It meticulously covers the derivation of 1-D FEM equations based on variational functionals, encompassing both linear and higher-order elements, and shape functions driven by convergence criteria. Furthermore, it explores 1-D numerical integration, outlines coding procedures, and provides insights into handling material nonlinearity and time-dependent scenarios.Expanding into 2-D problems, the book offers derivations of 2-D FEM equations tailored to diverse engineering disciplines, including Steady-State Heat Conduction, Solid Mechanics (covering torsion, plane strain/axisymmetric cases, and the bending, stability, and vibrations of thin plates), as well as Fluid Mechanics (addressing incompressible inviscid and viscous fluids). It includes detailed discussions on element continuity, numerical integration techniques, and even includes 2-D codes for selected problems. The book concludes by delving into recent advancements in FEM, with a specific focus on applications in machine learning and isogeometric analysis.

Near-Boundary Fluid Mechanics focuses on the near-boundary region and its significance. It delves into topics like boundary shear stress, drag reduction using polymer additives, turbulence sources, secondary currents, log-law validity, sediment transport, and more. Unlike similar books, it emphasizes the importance of the near-boundary region. This book is organized into chapters covering internal flows, external flows, loose boundary flows, and density currents. It extends Prandtl's fundamental concept to internal flows, showing how potential flow theory can describe flow without a solid boundary.In addition, the book provides a theoretical analysis of boundary shear stress in three-dimensional flows and explores the turbulent structures in drag-reduction flows. A key feature is clarifying the role of wall-normal velocity in mass, moment, and energy transfer. Additionally, Archimedes' principle is covered to explain pressure drag and establishes a relationship between wake volume and hydrodynamic force.

Green Building: An Engineering Approach to Sustainable Construction fills a void in green building which has good textbook options for practitioners, architects, and sustainability experts, but not an engineering focused textbook focused on green building. This new text takes an engineering approach to evaluating green building techniques, systems, and materials. The book examines the built environment from inside out, looking at minimizing environmental impacts while also considering the economics and energy use and efficiency. While not a test-prep book, it will provide the knowledge foundation that will help prepare the students to take the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design accreditation exam.As students are often unclear on the evolving employment prospects in this field, particularly for the engineer, the textbook also features six case studies showing different career pathways for engineers in this arena.
