Practical Guide to Finite Elements - A Solid Mechanics Approach (Hardcover)

Assuming only basic knowledge of mathematics and engineering mechanics, this lucid reference introduces the fundamentals of finite element theory using easy-to-understand terms and simple problems-systematically grounding the practitioner in the basic principles then suggesting applications to more general cases. Furnishes a wealth of practical insights drawn from the extensive experience of a specialist in the field Providing an in-depth overview of the analysis process, Practical Guide to Finite Elements describes the casting of elementary mechanics problems into a simplified form with idealization techniques shows how energy methods are employed to solve engineering problems involving stress, strain, and displacement outlines a process for computer-aided engineering analysis explains how numerical integration is utilized in conjunction with parametric elements demonstrates how a simple FORTRAN software routine computes element stiffness considers the use of loads and boundary conditions in finite element models presents common pitfalls that beginning analysts are likely to encounter addresses the interpretation of finite element analysis results and more Generously illustrated with over 200 detailed drawings to clarify discussions and containing key literature citations for more in-depth study of particular topics, this clearly written resource is an exceptional guide for mechanical, civil, aeronautic, automotive, electrical and electronics, and design engineers; engineering managers; and upper-level undergraduate, graduate, and continuing-education students in these disciplines.
