4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent start, poor finish
If you want to learn the basics of FEM, take this book. First half of the book is an excellent introduction to FEM. It explains nicely even the mathematical background, so you can basically "plug and play", make your first FE programs and solve the typical structural problems. But then, authors start to explain everything else regarding the linear FEM, in a very...

Fairly general, a good start for undergraduate level
As a finite element software developer, I find this book is so designed that it is relatively easy to understand by any level of graduate student. The first few chapters on 1-dimensional finite element equation formulation is the best I have ever seen so far in the "sea" of finite element text. Other than that, the overall content of the book is rather...

Fairly general, a good start for undergraduate level,
By John Williams "Will" (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introduction to Finite Elements in Engineering (Hardcover)
As a finite element software developer, I find this book is so designed that it is relatively easy to understand by any level of graduate student. The first few chapters on 1-dimensional finite element equation formulation is the best I have ever seen so far in the "sea" of finite element text. Other than that, the overall content of the book is rather "light". It should be read by all users who use finite element.

This review is from: Introduction to Finite Elements in Engineering (3rd Edition) (Hardcover)
If you want to learn the basics of FEM, take this book. First half of the book is an excellent introduction to FEM. It explains nicely even the mathematical background, so you can basically "plug and play", make your first FE programs and solve the typical structural problems. But then, authors start to explain everything else regarding the linear FEM, in a very condensed way, and the book becomes very difficult to read. Exercises are nicely prepared and for their solving sufficient help can be found in the text.

Very good theoretical explanation of FEA,
By Karl Palutke (kcpalutke@tasc.com) (Warner Robins, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introduction to Finite Elements in Engineering (Hardcover)
This book provides a very good explanation of the math behind finite element analysis, but no information on using FEA in a real-world setting.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Decent text for use in classroom learning,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Introduction to Finite Elements in Engineering (Hardcover)
It shows the theory behind FEA. Recommended for 3rd+ year engineering students. As a reference, it would be nice if there was a bit more info on solid mechanics in it.

Great book focussing on the actual method,
This review is from: Introduction to Finite Elements in Engineering (Hardcover)
This is a Great Book for a beginner to FEM and it clearlyfocusses on the method rather than vast theory.I have found thisbook extremely useful for developing the Java based FEM Software at my site... |
