Introduction to Finite Elements in Engineering
About this book
Thoroughly updated with improved pedagogy, the fifth edition of this classic textbook continues to provide students with a clear and comprehensive introduction the fundamentals of the finite element method. New features include enhanced coverage of introductory topics in the context of simple 1D problems, providing students with a solid base from which to advance to 2D and 3D problems; expanded coverage of more advanced concepts, to reinforce students' understanding; over 30 additional solved problems; and downloadable MATLAB, Python, C, Javascript, Fortran and Excel VBA code packages, providing students with hands-on experience, and preparing them for commercial software. Accompanied by online solutions for instructors, this is the definitive text for senior undergraduate and graduate students studying a first course in the finite element method and finite element analysis, and for professional engineers keen to shore up their understanding of finite element fundamentals.
