Directed towards students without in-depth mathematical training, this text cultivates comprehensive skills in linear static and dynamic finite element methodology. Included are a comprehensive presentation and analysis of algorithms of time-dependent phenomena plus beam, plate, and shell theories derived directly from three-dimensional elasticity theory. Solution guide available upon request.
Not for starters
| Customer Rating: | | I bought this book to begin understanding of finite elements theory. the book is good but sure not for starters. The lack of examples and introduction to computer software make this book limited at least for me. |
easy to learn
| Customer Rating: | | I am an international student majored in geology and geophysics. FEM is quite important for me to build a computational model to caculate statical and dynamical problems. This FEM book is recommended by my supervisor and I have read it carefully. The concepts and mathematics are easy to understand for me. good deal~ not too hard, good for new students in this area |
This book is a bible
| Customer Rating: | | This book has been a core finite element reference for me for 16 years. The mathematics are actually somewhat mild compared to most of today's finite element literature and many of the other seminal finite element texts. It is completely inappropriate for an undergraduate level text, but it is an excellent graduate level introduction the FEM. It provides a sound basis for advanced topics in non-linear analysis. It does assume that the reader already has a reasonable background in related fields (e.g. continuum mechanics, linear algebra, and real analysis). I have never touched the code that the text references. |
Good, difficult read with software foulup
| Customer Rating: | The text is obviously considered a benchmark for FEA. The date of the first edition causes me to guess that it was among the first serious texts in the subject. For that reason, the book is worth the some of the price. But, detractors reduce the worth...
Two major items detract from the usefulness of the text:
1. It is written for a mathematician. So, reading is a little rough for those who are learning the notation as they read the book.
2. The text spends pages describing examples using and an appendix providing user information for software that is missing from the reprint. This subtracts from the value, even if the code is a source in FORTRAN, because excellent examples of FEA implementations are missing.
It turns out that the source code and a compiled executable for DLEARN is available on the web. However, you have to know where and how to search. [...] |
Don't buy it
| Customer Rating: | | I wanted a complete book in FEA to start learning about it. I expected this book to be clear, practical, complete, with a good amount of practical examples showing how to use the theory, that is complex by itself. I also wanted some sort of reference to a computer program so that I could start using to simplify my life. I work at a Company and I don't have too much time. This book is not for me. I |
