    Need For FEA
    • There are three important steps in the computational modelling of any physical problem: (i) problem definition,
    (ii) mathematical model, and (iii) computer simulation.

    • The first natural step is to define an idealization of our problem of interest in terms of a set of relevant quantities
    which we would like to measure.

    • The second step of the modeling process is to represent our idealization of the physical reality by a mathematical
    model: the governing equations of the problem. These are available for many physical phenomena. For example,
    in fluid dynamics the Navier–Stokes equations are considered to be an accurate representation of the fluid
    motion. Analogously, the equations of elasticity in structural mechanics govern the deformation of a solid object
    due to applied external forces. These are complex general equations that are very difficult to solve both
    analytically and computationally. Therefore, we need to introduce simplifying assumptions to reduce the
    complexity of the mathematical model and make it amenable to either exact or numerical solution.
    Need For FEA
    • For example, the irrotational (without vorticity) flow of an incompressible fluid is accurately represented by the Navier–
    Stokes equations but, if the effects of fluid viscosity are small, then Laplace’s equation of potential flow is a far more
    efficient description of the problem.
    • After the selection of an appropriate mathematical model, together with suitable boundary and initial conditions, we can
    proceed to its solution. In this chapter we will consider the numerical solution of mathematical problems which are described
    by partial differential equations (PDEs). The three classical choices for the numerical solution of PDEs are the finite
    difference method (FDM), the finite element method (FEM) and the finite volume method (FVM).
    • The FDM is the oldest and is based upon the application of a local Taylor expansion to approximate the differential
    equations. The FDM uses a topologically square network of lines to construct the discretization of the PDE. This is a
    potential bottleneck of the method when handling complex geometries in multiple dimensions. This issue motivated the use
    of an integral form of the PDEs and subsequently the development of the finite element and finite volume techniques.
