Advanced Differential Quadrature Methods

In addition to gaining insight into the dynamic changes that have recently occurred in the field, readers of this book will quickly master the use of DQ methods to solve complex problems. The book discusses the limitations of direct DQ methods and common strategies to remove these limitations. It presents the formulations of several new DQ methods and applies these novel DQ methods to solve problems that are beyond the capabilities of the direct DQ method. The authors include results that represent the latest important developments of DQ methods. They also provide FORTRAN code for readers to quickly acquire hands-on experience with DQ methods.
