Based on the second edition of Daryl Logan's "A First Course in the Finite Element Method", this text replaces the second edition's generic computer-based examples and problems with new ones based on the use of Algor, a FEM software package. The author gears the text to undergraduate-level students who will use FEM and Algor to study physical problems of structural stress analysis and heat transfer.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The best introductory book written in finite element method,
By A Customer
This review is from: First Course in the Finite Element Method Using Algor (Hardcover)
The chapters are very well organized. The material is very easy to understand. There are several fully worked out problems in each chapter that gives a solid foundation of the theory discussed in that chapter. Variational methods and Galerkin formulations are very well explained in a manner that is very easy to understand. Although most of the concentration is on solid mechanics and heat transfer, there is a brief introduction to cfd. Overall, this book is a must, if you are planning to continue you studies in applied mechanics or related fields. I sincerely hope that the author Daryl.L. Logan has plans to write a similar book in Non-Linear Finite Element Analysis.

Logic, language and notations have made all the difference.,
By A Customer
This review is from: First Course in the Finite Element Method Using Algor (Hardcover)
Topics builds up in a logical order. The language
used through out is stimulating and easy to
understand. Mathematical notations are straight
forward.
This book is a must have for both begginners and the seasoned professionals who do Finite
Element Analyis. Anthony A. R. Lukindo

Nothing Great about it,
By A Customer
This review is from: First Course in the Finite Element Method Using Algor (Hardcover)
I have used this book as Beginner of FEA and didn't find it interesting. It deals with more theoretical aspects of FEA. It does really deal with using FEA on a regular basis. May be it's the person who taught the class made me disinterested in the book... others might find it interesting. I believe that the Theory behind FEA is important before even you start working on the software, but this is not the book I would recommend to read before you start.
