Sinan Muftu is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Northeastern University, Boston, USA. His research is in the general area of applied mechanics with applications in tribology and bioengineering, including mechanics of axially translating materials for roll-2-roll manufacturing systems, mechanics of high velocity particle impacts for cold spray additive manufacturing, and structure-function relationships in biological systems. He has taught the finite element method to undergraduate and graduate students in his institution since 2004 and developed customized programs for numerical analysis throughout his career. This book comes out of his experience and observations in teaching and conducting research in applied numerical analysis. Dr. Muftu is an elected fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers for his contributions to mechanics of axially translating media. See less
