Product Description

For senior undergraduate and first-year graduate students and also as a learning resource to practicing engineers. This book provides an integrated approach to finite element methodologies. The development of finite element theory is combined with examples and exercises involving engineering applications. The steps used in the development of the theory are implemented in complete, self-contained computer programs. While the strategy and philosophy of the previous editions has been retained, the Third 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
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.

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 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.

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
