Finite Element Mesh Generation provides a comprehensive guide to the application of finite element mesh generation over 2D domains, curved surfaces, and 3D space. This develops from the basic meshing algorithms to the most advanced schemes to deal with problems with specific requirements such as boundary conformity, adaptive and anisotropic elements, shape qualities, and mesh optimization.

It sets out the fundamentals of popular techniques. In this new edition the combination of Delaunay triangulation and the advancing front technique, coupled with parallelization, and the incorporation of AI, give much more powerful and readily available solutions for industrial problems.

From the geometrical and the topological aspects and their associated operations and inter-relationships, each approach is vividly described and illustrated with examples. Beyond the algorithms, the book also explores the practice of using metric tensor and surface curvatures for generating anisotropic meshes on parametric space. It also offers major meshing algorithms, pseudo codes, and programming codes, many downloadable from www.routledge.com/9781041354611 and which can be readily converted using AI to other packages.
