This book has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect developments since the third edition, with an emphasis on structural mechanics. Coverage is up-to-date without making the treatment highly specialized and mathematically difficult. Basic theory is clearly explained to the reader, while advanced techniques are left to thousands of references available, which are cited in the text.
LEARN FINITE ELEMENT THEORY AND HOW TO APPLY IT: This book is an accessible introduction to finite element analysis.The exposition moves gradually from simplke concepts to more advanced theory, with the goal of making competent applications based on sold understanding. In addition to theory, considerable attention is given to practical matters: modeling for finite element analysis, checking computed results for errors, and revising an analysis as needed.
FEATURES: Basic theory is clearly explained. + Includes over 500 analytical problems. + Structural mechanics is emphasized. + Dynamics, nonlinearity, and heat transfer are treated. + Includes application examples with solution critiques.
