This book, the third edition of what has become classic in the field, provides engineers and engineering students with a clear, easy-to-understand introduction to the finite element method - the foremost numerical analysis tool for solving both structural and nonstructural engineering mechanics problems.
As with the previous two editions, the authors' goal is to describe clearly the fundamental concepts and applications of the finite element method and, through the use of numerous real-world examples, help readers apply the method to specific problems.
The Finite Element Method for Engineers, Third Edition, is thoroughly revised and updated to reflect a decade of important advances in the field, including the advent of powerful new computer hardware and software. Many end-of-chapter problems are new, and the computer code is completely modernized. Several new sections on fluid mechanics problems cover the major growth that has recently occurred in this area.
The book is divided into two self-contained parts. Part I offers a brief historical review of the method, introduces the core concepts, and develops all essential finite element mathematical formulations, including those used in both the variational approach and the method of weighted residuals. Because of its usefulness in nonstructural applications, the weighted residuals approach is given greater emphasis.
Devoted entirely to engineering applications, Part II features separate chapters covering problems in elasticity; equilibrium, eigenvalue, and propagation problems; heat transfer; and fluid mechanics.
For mechanical, aeronautical, and civil engineers seeking to acquaint themselves with the method or to brush up on recent advances, The Finite Element Method for Engineers, Third Edition, is an invaluable professional reference tool. It is also a first-rate textbook for one- or two-semester courses in engineering mechanics and engineering science.
