"The authors believe that users of finite element analysis (FEA) software products must have a basic understanding of how mathematical models are constructed; what are the essential assumptions incorporated in a mathematical model; what is the algorithmic structure of the finite…
This book is an accessible introduction to finite elements analysis. The exposition moves gradually from simple concepts to more advanced theory, with the goal of making competent applications based on solid understanding. In addition to theory, considerable attention is given t…
