This textbook presents finite element methods using exclusively
one-dimensional elements. It presents the complex methodology in an
easily understandable but mathematically correct fashion. The
approach of one-dimensional elements enables the reader to focus on
the understanding of the principles of basic and advanced
mechanical problems. The reader will easily understand the
assumptions and limitations of mechanical modeling as well as the
underlying physics without struggling with complex mathematics.
Although the description is easy, it remains scientifically
correct. The approach using only one-dimensional elements covers
not only standard problems but allows also for advanced topics such
as plasticity or the mechanics of composite materials. Many
examples illustrate the concepts and problems at the end of every
chapter help to familiarize with the topics. Each chapter also
includes a few exercise problems, with short answers provided at
the end of the book. The second edition appears with a complete
revision of all figures. It also presents a complete new chapter
special elements and added the thermal conduction into the analysis
of rod elements. The principle of virtual work has also been
introduced for the derivation of the finite-element principal
equation.
