Summary:

"Introduction to Finite Element Analysis and Design offers a clear and accessible way for students to learn the theoretical aspects of the Finite Element Method and understand its practical applications, even without a background in mathematics or computer programming. In order to establish a common ground before learning the main topics of FEM, the book reviews some concepts in mathematics and mechanics of materials that are prerequisite for learning FEM. Placing a greater focus on the design component than most other books, the Third Edition explains the process of Finite Element Analysis in relation to springs, bars, and truss elements; beams and frames; heat transfer problems; 2D solids; and dynamic problems. A brand-new chapter on plate and shell finite elements has been added, along with an extensive collection of updated examples and exercise problems. Another key feature of the book it its coverage of commercial software programs, supported by examples using six different commercial programs. This allows students to learn key concepts can be introduced to finite element theory in general, and then gain experience with practical applications can be carried out using different programs, based on the preference of the instructor or the project at hand"-- Provided by publisher.
