Product Description

For courses in finite element methods, finite element analysis taught in departments of Civil, Mechanical, Aerospace, Agriculture, and Mechanics departments. Course for which this book is appropriate is usually taught to seniors or graduate students.

Comprehensive — this text explores the full range of finite element methods used in engineering practice for actual applications in computer-aided design. It provides not only an introduction to finite element methods and the commonality in the various techniques, but explores state-of-the-art methods as well — with a focus on what are deemed to become “classical techniques” — procedures that will be standard and authoritative for finite element analysis for years to come.

BASIC APPROACH: Comprehensive — this text explores the full range of finite element methods used in engineering practice for actual applications in computer-aided design. It provides not only an introduction to finite element methods and the commonality in the various techniques, but explores state-of-the-art methods as well — with a focus on what are deemed to become "classical techniques" — procedures that will be standard and authoritative for finite element analysis for years to come.

FEATURES:

• presents in sufficient depth and breadth elementary concepts AND advanced techniques in statics, dynamics, solids, fluids, linear and nonlinear analysis.
• emphasizes both the physical and mathematical characteristics of procedures.
• presents some important mathematical conditions on finite element procedures.
• contains an abundance of worked-out examples and various complete program listings.
• includes many exercises/projects that often require the use of a computer program.

One of the best Finite Element Books
This is a book from a very famous author. He provide us deep details of steps in finite element analysis. Eventhough it covers many mathematical equations, we can select the part we really need. This book concentrates in structural analysis and numerical methods to obtain the solution.
The real beginners in FEM may find that this book is not a proper one for them.
