GBPThoroughly 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.
- Presents basic and advanced concepts to students in a consistent and rigorous framework, providing a solid theoretical foundation for further study
- Accompanied by a comprehensive suite of downloadable computational supplements, spanning Matlab, Python, C, Javascript, Fortran and Excel VBA, enabling students to explore computational approaches, develop confidence in writing their own code, and progress to more advanced commercial packages
- Includes over 230 end of chapter problems, with solutions available for instructors
Reviews & endorsements
'A significantly upgraded edition of a classic textbook in the field. The book covers all essential engineering topics and mathematical procedures for the finite element formulations and numerical implementations. It provides a wealth of examples and end-of-chapter problems. The content of each chapter is presented in a clear, concise, and easy-to-grasp style that makes it an excellent choice as textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses on the topic. Its usefulness is also enhanced by its inclusion of codes in several popular programming languages.' Professor Gabriel Potirniche, University of Idaho
'The fifth edition of this internationally acclaimed textbook on finite element analysis enables students, educators, and practicing engineers to solve finite element problems from first principles. The textbook presents a comprehensive holistic approach to finite element analysis. The book brings theory to life with hundreds of practical examples. The fifth edition includes cutting-edge new information on the energy and the Galerkin methods.' Professor Paul Akangah, North Carolina A&T State University
'The new edition (of the book) is carefully structured to provide the necessary theoretical background to easily understand and to adapt the same to model and to solve 1D, 2D, and 3D mechanical engineering problems in the structural and thermal areas.' Professor Raghu Echempati, Kettering University
