The Finite Element Method in Engineering

Advertisement

The objective of this book is to introduce the various aspects of the finite element method as applied to the solution of engineering problems in a systematic and simple manner. It develops each technique and idea from basic principles. New concepts are illustrated with simple examples whenever possible. An introduction to commercial software systems, ABAQUS and ANSYS, including some sample applications with images and output, is also presented in two separate chapters. In addition, several MATLAB programs are given along with examples to illustrate the use of the programs in a separate chapter.

After studying the material presented in the book, the reader will not only be able to understand the current literature on the finite element method but will also be in a position to solve finite element problems using commercial software such as ABAQUS and ANSYS, use the MATLAB programs given in the book to solve a variety of finite element problems from different areas, and, if needed, be able to develop short programs to solve engineering problems.
