DESCRIPTION:
Alan Klanac said Excellent start, poor finish. If you want to learn the basics of FEM, take this book. First half of the book is an excellent introduction to FEM. It explains nicely even the mathematical background, so you can basically "plug and play", make your first FE programs and solve the typical structural problems. But then, authors start to explain everything else regarding the linear FEM, in a very condensed way, and the book becomes very difficult to read. Exercises are nicely prepared and for their solving. Fairly general, a good start for undergraduate level John Williams As a finite element software developer, I find this book is so designed that it is relatively easy to understand by any level of graduate student. The first few chapters on 1-dimensional finite element equation formulation is the best I have ever seen so far in the "sea" of finite element text. Other than that, the overall content of the book is rather "light". It should be read by all users who use finite element.. Very good theoretical explanation of FEA Karl Palutke (kcpalutke@tasc.com) This book provides a very good explanation of the math behind finite element analysis, but no information on using FEA in a real-world setting.
While the strategy and philosophy of the previous edition has been retained, the Second Edition has been updated and improved to include new material on additional topics. From the Publisher This book provides an integrated approach to finite element methodologies, combining sound theory, examples and exercises involving engineering applications, and the implementation of theory in complete, self-contained computer programs.

The development of finite element theory is combined with examples and exercises involving engineering applications. The steps used in the development of the theory are implemented in complete, self-contained computer programs. While the strategy and philosophy of the previous editions has been retained, the¿Fourth Edition has been updated and improved to include new material on additional topics.. This book provides an integrated approach to finite element methodologies. Introduction to Finite Engineering is ideal for senior undergraduate and first-year graduate students and also as a learning resource to practicing engineers
