An essential guide for design engineers who use the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) during the product development process, this book turns the FEA into a productivity tool that will help to avoid costly and potentially dangerous mistakes. During the 50 years of its development, FEA evolved from an exotic analysis method accessible only to specialized analysts into a mainstream engineering tool. Phenomenal progress in computer hardware and operating systems combined with similar progress in computer-aided design made FEA the tool of choice for design engineers, who now use it during the product design process. Many books have been written about FEA, however very little FEA literature takes a middle ground approach and specifically addresses the needs of design engineers who use FEA as an everyday design tool. This book attempts to fill that void by focusing on an understanding of FEA fundamentals, which are explained through simple and intuitive examples that can be used by any engineer. This book also takes a practical approach, characteristic to the attitudes of design engineers, and offers readers an opportunity to try all discussed topics by solving downloadable exercises using either their own FEA software or the commercial FEA software StressCheck®, which is licensed for free to readers.

An Excellent Introductory Users Guide to FEA,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Finite Element Analysis For Design Engineers (Hardcover)
This is basically a non-mathematical treatment of finite element analysis (FEA) that gives the reader an overall understanding of what it is and can do for them as well as general rules of how to use an FEA application. The book is a kind of a users guide for the novice on how to setup, solve, and interpret the results of a problem using commercial FEA software. The author discusses proper methodology and common pitfalls to avoid. The design or project engineer with mechanical design responsiblities and little previous knowledge of FEA will likely benefit most from reading this book. Experienced users of commercial FEA code(s) or analysts will likely find this text of little practical benefit.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent FEA reference book.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Finite Element Analysis For Design Engineers (Hardcover)
I bought this book because I wanted a book that could explain in a succinct and simple way the proper methods for simulation setup as well as simplifying the simulation to reduce computational requirements. This book delivered on all points. It also suggests methods to understand the results and analyze them critically for accuracy which is hugely important and helps you to answer the question "Is this true? and "Could this happen in real life?"
