Bridging the gap between theoretical texts and the massive and
expensive software packages, this handbook covers finite element
programming in a wide range of problems in mechanical, civil,
aeronautical and electrical engineering. Comprehensive, it ranges
from the static analysis of two- and three-dimensional structures
to stress analysis of thick slabs on elastic foundations, and from
two- and three- dimensional vibration analysis problems to
two-dimensional field problems including heat transfer and acoustic
vibrations.
This book presents five computer programs in FORTRAN together with descriptions of how to use them for static analysis of skeletal structures. It includes several worked examples, including pin-jointed plane and space trusses, continuous beams, and two and three dimensional rigid-jointed frames.
Finite Element Programs for Structural Vibrations presents detailed descriptions of how to use six computer programs (written in Fortran 77) to determine the resonant frequencies of one, two, and three-dimensional skeletal structures through the finite element method. Chapter 1 is on "The Finite Element Method" and Chapter 2 demonstrates, with the aid of hand calculations, the finite element solution of some smaller structures. Chapter 3 covers "The Modular Approach", and Chapters 4 to 9 describe the six computer programs, with a large number of worked examples. The six computer programs are given in Appendices I through VI, and on a 3 1/2'' disk included with the book. The programs are suitable for use on IBM (or compatible) PC (640K or more) or minicomputer.
This text is the primary recommendation of the UK Engineering
Council Faculty of Technology to all British universities as of
approved standard and quality for use as a text for the Board's own
examinations. It introduces the fundamental concepts and principles
of statics and stress analysis as the essential reading for first
year engineering students. Worked examples from the authors
experience reinforce comprehension of key concepts. Tutorial
solutions with explanation in extended detail have been provided
for students. Key elements include: use of free-body diagrams to
help problem solving; coverage of composite materials; torsion of
circular and non-circular sections; and the matrix-displacement
method.
The choice of structural design and material is essential in preventing the external walls of a vessel from buckling under pressure. In this revised second edition of Pressure vessels, Carl Ross reviews the problem and uses both theoretical and practical examples to show how it can be solved for different structures. The second edition opens with an overview of the types of vessels under external pressure and materials used for construction. Axisymmetric deformation and different types of instability are discussed in the following chapters, with chapters 5 and 6 covering vibration of pressure vessel shells, both in water and out. Chapters 7 and 8 focus on novel pressure hulls, covering design, vibration and collapse, while chapters 9 and 10 concentrate on the design and non-linear analysis of submarine pressure hulls under external hydrostatic pressure. In chapter 11, the design, structure and materials of deep-diving underwater pressure vessels are discussed, focusing on their application in missile defence systems. Finally, chapter 12 analyses the vibration of a thin-walled shell under external water pressure, using ANSYS technology. Drawing on the author's extensive experience in engineering and design both in an industrial and academic capacity, the second edition of Pressure vessels is an essential reference for stress analysts, designers, consultants and manufacturers of pressure vessels, as well as all those with an academic research interest in the area.
