This third edition provides a simple, basic approach to the finite element method that can be understood by both undergraduate and graduate students. It does not have the usual prerequisites (such as structural analysis) required by most available texts in this area. The book is written primarily as a basic learning tool for the undergraduate student in civil and mechanical engineering whose main interest is in stress analysis and heat transfer. The text is geared toward those who want to apply the finite element method as a tool to solve practical physical problems.
A good book for understanding FEM within a week
| Customer Rating: | This is a good book for the students like me, who would apply FEM for their research but have no idea about FEM. Usually, we don't need to know too much detail about FEM. We only need the basic principle. That's what this book offers. Instead of complex stress-strain analysis in other FEM books, this book starts from one-dimensional truss and beam problems to two-dimensional plane stress problems. I just read half of the book and now feel very comfortable with a FEM code.
Nice book! |
Excellent First Text
| Customer Rating: | | A very good book for someone that has never studied this subject before. It's clearly written, and has very good practical examples. I was able to easily work the problems in the end of the chapters using the equations and examples in the text. To use this book, you need to have elementary knowledge of mechanics of materials, basic structural design, and matrices. There is a very good appendix on matrices, which helps you work through that part of FEM. |
Great update
| Customer Rating: | | I bought this book to review for a class I teach in Finite Element Method. It is an update of the previous edition, with was a great book. I highly recommend this book! |

Take your time
| Customer Rating: | | I bought the book for a class I'm taking and it's proving a bit difficult to read, the text is small compared to most books, I'm assuming to save paper. The flow of the text seems to be a bit jumpy, as I read I have to refer to pictures and graphs which aren't on the same page, which makes keeping track of ideas a bit difficult when you're constantly flipping pages to find the correlating graph. Another item is that unless you know a little about the subject, then realizing key points is difficult, because they're not easily referenced. I suggest Bold typing or using the side margins to emphasize key points would help the introductory reader. So, as an introductory text the book is hard to read because the book is written more for the seasoned professional who is looking to brush up on some finite analysis techniques. |
