Providing a systematic approach and simple introduction ot the finite element method, this self-contained book will enable the reader to obtain a clear understanding of the concepts involved in this traditionally complicated methodology.
Intended to be used as an introductory text for students in various fields of engineering, this book deals with the formulation of the finite element method for arbitrary differential equations. The weak formulation of differential equations is used in combination with the Galer…
Structural Analysis with Finite Elements reveals the theory behind the finite element method as it relates to structural engineering and explains how to overcome commonly encountered problems and errors found in everyday structural modelling with finite element software.
