5.0 out of 5 starsAn essential purchase for structural FE designers!
By G. Elston on June 25, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is an excellent introductory text and reference manual for any engineer that performs structural analyses. The fundamentals of finite elements are covered without excessive maths and all the concepts are explained very clearly with reference to real world examples (something that is very lacking in other similar books). If you are looking for a guide on how to perform FEA, how to set up well defined problems, how to choose the correct elements, how to choose the correct solver etc. then this book is for you!

This new edition is a big improvement on the previous edition: the presentation is a lot clearer, the print quality is better and it has been expanded with more examples and also an appendix with extra information on matrices etc. As a design engineer I find myself referring to this book quite a lot (I have owned the first edition for a few year now) and I consult it before I tackle a new problem. The final section with the case studies sums up all the chapters with real world (i.e. practical) examples. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent first course in FEA!
By O'Dowd on July 25, 2011
Format: Paperback
This is probably the best introductary book on FEA that I have come across. I really like the logical presentation of the chapters which come in the order in which you have to make the various decisions when doing a stress analysis FEA. The writing style is clear with a no-nonsense approach with really good use of real life examples to illustrate the point being made. The explanations are all clear and I haven't found any mistakes yet. Pretty much everything you need is in this book as there is a chapter that reviews the main concepts of stress analysis/mechanics of solids and information in the appendix on the maths required. It is one-stop-shop for those starting to learn FEA. I imagine that this book will be useful to university students and their teachers but also to those working in the field who need to upskill or a handy reference.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat book! Must have for an Analysis Engineer
By Antonio Pavisich on February 9, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This book is very informative and helpful in understanding FEA. It is good to understand FEA theory (code and mathematics), and there are many books written on that subject, but this book will help you understand in a very practical sense what is going on in your analysis.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent, there is no other word to describe this book
By Julio Mendez on December 2, 2013
Format: Paperback
Dear colleague,
The idea of my post, is not to show off about my profile... I am a mechanical engineer with experience on stress analysis and a Master degree on computational thermal science and thousand of hours in CFD. I have also worked as a stress analyst engineer and at this moment I work as specialist turbine engineer at TurboCare, having said that, I want to share my impression about this book with you.
This book, besides having an excellent, clear and cleaver approach, keep important numerical and physical concepts. This is very important when engineers, perform or review FEA analysis.
I highly recommend this book, no matter your level or your aspiration are, I think this a mandatory book to any stress engineer. For those like me, who require and feel the necessity to understand what is happening under the hood, this book will show and demonstrate all the mathematical aspects of the formulation....
Do not hesitate to buy this book, you will not regret about your inversion...
