Summary
This book provides an in-depth background to better understanding of finite element results and techniques for improving accuracy of finite element methods. Thus, the reader is able to identify and eliminate errors contained in finite element models. Three different error analysis techniques are systematically developed from a common theoretical foundation: 1) modeling erros in individual elements; 2) discretization errors in the overall model; 3) point-wise errors in the final stress or strain results. Thoroughly class tested with undergraduate and graduate students. A Unified Approach to the Finite Element Method and Error Analysis Procedures is sure to become an essential resource for students as well as practicing engineers and researchers. * New, simpler element formulation techniques, model-independent results, and error measures * New polynomial-based methods for identifying critical points * New procedures for evaluating sheer/strain accuracy * Accessible to undergraduates, insightful to researchers, and useful to practitioners * Taylor series (polynomial) based * Intuitive elemental and point-wise error measures * Essential background information provided in 12 appendices.

Summary
This key text is written for senior undergraduate and graduate engineering students. It delivers a complete introduction to finite element methods and to automatic adaptation (error estimation) that will enable students to understand and use FEA as a true engineering tool. It has been specifically developed to be accessible to non-mathematics students and provides the only complete text for FEA with error estimators for non-mathematicians. Error estimation is taught on nearly half of all FEM courses for engineers at senior undergraduate and postgraduate level; no other existing textbook for this market covers this topic. *The only introductory FEA text with error estimation for students of engineering, scientific computing and applied mathematics *Includes source code for creating and proving FEA error estimators *Complete with homework exercises and supporting website with instructor's solutions manual.

Summary
Computer techniques have made online measurements available at every sampling period in a chemical process. However, measurement errors are introduced that require suitable techniques for data reconciliation and improvements in accuracy. Reconciliation of process data and reliable monitoring are essential to decisions about possible system modifications (optimization and control procedures), analysis of equipment performance, design of the monitoring system itself, and general management planning. While the reconciliation of the process data has been studied for more than 20 years, there is no single source providing a unified approach to the area with instructions on implementation. Data Processing and Reconciliation for Chemical Process Operations is that source. Competitiveness on the world market as well as increasingly stringent environmental and product safety regulations have increased the need for the chemical industry to introduce such fast and low cost improvements in process operations. Key Features * Introduces the first unified approach to this important field * Bridges theory and practice through numerous worked examples and industrial case studies * Provides a highly readable account of all aspects of data classification and reconciliation * Presents the reader with material, problems, and directions for further study.

Summary
Debugging by Thinking: A Multi-Disciplinary Approach is the first book to apply the wisdom of six disciplineslogic, mathematics, psychology, safety analysis, computer science, and engineeringto the problem of debugging. It uses the methods of literary detectives such as Sherlock Holmes, the techniques of mathematical problem solving, the results of research into the cognitive psychology of human error, the root cause analyses of safety experts, the compiler analyses of computer science, and the processes of modern engineering to define a systematic approach to identifying and correcting software errors. * Language Independent Methods: Examples are given in Java and C++ * Complete source code shows actual bugs, rather than contrived examples * Examples are accessible with no more knowledge than a course in Data Structures and Algorithms requires * A "thought process diary" shows how the author actually resolved the problems as they occurred.
