Product Description

This work provides an integrated approach to finite element methodologies, combining sound theory, examples and exercises involving engineering applications and the implementation of theory in complete, self-contained computer programs. This edition introduces new material on many topics, including frontal method, conjugate gradient method, orthotropic materials, Guyan reduction, three-dimensional frames, least squares fit for quadrilateral element, two-dimensional fins and von Mises stress. It prepares BASIC programs to work efficiently in the QBASIC environment available on DOS 5.0 or higher, and provides FORTRAN and C versions of all programs in a separate directory for easy access. All programs have been revised to work with file input, and new programs introduced that deal with multipoint constraints involving two variables. The book also introduces temperature effect in 1D, 2D, and 3D deformation and stress analysis programs, as well as frontal method in the hexahedral element for 3D analysis in HEXAFNT. The DATAFEM program has been revised to simplify data entry, and colour contour lines are now available in the CONTOUR1 program as well as contour bands in CONTOUR2.


From the Publisher

This book provides an integrated approach to finite element methodologies, combining sound theory, examples and exercises involving engineering applications, and the implementation of theory in complete, self-contained computer programs. While the strategy and philosophy of the previous edition has been retained, the Second Edition has been updated and improved to include new material on additional topics.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fairly general, a good start for undergraduate level, March 16, 2000
By John Williams "Will" (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent start, poor finish, March 1, 2004
By Alan Klanac (Espoo, Finland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very good theoretical explanation of FEA, August 27, 1999
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book focussing on the actual method
This is a Great Book for a beginner to FEM and it clearlyfocusses on the method rather than vast theory. Read more
