Book Overview
A structural mechanical approach to finite element analysis, is given in this new edition. It contains over 750 problems (many of them new), introduces matrix methods early on, and includes Fortran algorithms for solving numerous problems. The emphasis is physical and practical, rather than mathematical, and advanced topics such as nonlinear material behavior and structural dynamics are given comprehensive treatment.

Very good

very good quality. the only thing is it is delievered from Britain, which means you have to wait two weeks to get the book
finite element analysis
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
this book is for those who have already acquire a working commercial version of finite element analysis program. it explains the mathematical formula instead of giving u the computer algorithm. it's almost impossible to write your own software so this book is enough to explain the concept of finite element. for example, it teaches u to spread a point load over several nodes because of a singularity problem, things that u have to know using the finite element software. for those who don't have a commerical version of finite element program, this book recommend visualfea which u can download from intuition.com. or u can buy it online from wiley.com at $35 usd. it furthur leads u to abaqus cae which is even a better finite element which is very expensive. for those who can't afford it, a student version of abaqus is available for free.
Excellent as a reference as well as a text book

This book covers most of the essential topics in finite element method. Various concepts of the method are well explained in detail, and many practical topics useful for practitioners are presented in this book. I am teaching the finite element method using this book at a graduate course. It is an excellent text book for both students and lecturers. Well organized and abundant contents!
Excellent book

I think this is one of the best books on FE. It is written from the point of view of an engineer and avoids unnecessary mathematics. The concepts are explained very clearly and there is a fair number of solved examples in each chapter.
Concepts and Applications of Finite Element Analysis

Excellent treatment of a subject that all mechanical design and analysis engineers should be familiar with. This book is written from the engineers point of view, rather than focusing on pure mathematics. Each chapter (all 19 of them) is richly packed with concise information relavent to the understanding of the finite element method in structural mechanics. Common element types are thoroughly explained and enough FORTRAN listings and algorithms are given to allow good programming. This book should be a standard on the shelves of everyone who does FEA work
