Course for which this book is appropriate is usually taught to seniors or graduate students.Comprehensive - this text explores the full range of finite element methods used in engineering practice for actual applications in computer-aided design. It provides not only an introduction to finite element methods and the commonality in the various techniques, but explores state-of-the-art methods as well - with a focus on what are deemed to become 'classical techniques' - procedures that will be standard and authoritative for finite element analysis for years to come.
The renowned authors systematically guide readers through the basic theory and algorithmic structure of the finite element method, using helpful examples and exercises throughout. Delivers the tools needed to have a working knowledge of the finite element method; Illustrates the concepts and procedures of verification and validation. Finite Element Analysis: Procedures in Engineering covers the basic concepts, mathematical models and computational algorithms that support the finite element method (FEM). It is a complete and self-contained book which will enable comprehension of FEM as a numerical method for engineering analysis and also provide insight to commercial finite element analysis (FEA) software to solve practical problems.
Introduction to Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis Introduction to Nonlinear Finite Element Analysisby N. KimThe objective of this textbook is to simply introduce the nonlinear finite elementanalysis procedure and to clearly explain the solution procedure to the reader.In contrast to the traditional textbooks which treat a vast amount of nonlineartheories comprehensively; this textbook only addresses the representative problems,detailed theories, solution procedures, and the computer implementation of thenonlinear FEM. Especially by using the MATLAB programming language to introducethe nonlinear solution procedure; those readers who are not familiar with FORTRANor C programming languages can easily understand and add his/her own modules tothe nonlinear analysis program.Book inorContents:Prefacev1.
