Product Description
Product Description
Are you tired of picking up a book that claims to be on "practical" finite element analysis only to find that it is full of the same old theory rehashed and contains no advice to help you plan your analysis? If so then this book is for you! The emphasis of this book is on doing FEA, not writing a FE code. A method is provided to help you plan your analysis and a chapter is devoted to each choice you have to make when building your model giving you clear and specific advice. Finally nine case studies are provided which illustrate the points made in the main text and take you slowly through your first finite element analyses. The book is written in such a way that it is not specific to any particular FE software so it doesn't matter which FE software you use, this book can help you! The 2nd Edition of this very popular finite element analysis guide: 1)Emphasises practical finite element analysis with commercially available finite element software packages 2)Is written in a generic way so it is not specific to any particular software but clearly shows the methodology required for successful FEA 3)Is focused entirely on structural stress analysis 4)Offers specific advice on which element types to use, which material model to pick, which type of analysis to use and which type of results to look for 5)Provides specific, no nonsense advice on how to fix problems in the analysis 6)Contains over 300 illustrations 7)Provides nine detailed case studies which specifically show you how to perform various types of analysis 8)Does not weigh you down with unnecessary theory, but provides you with the minimum theory needed to understand the methods 9)Is an invaluable guide and reference for engineering students and practising engineers

Format:Paperback
This is a great reference manual for any engineer that performs sturctural analyses. The fundamentals of finite element are covered without excessive maths and all the concepts are explained very clearly with reference to real world examples (something that is very lacking in other similar books). If you are looking for a guide on how to perform FEA, how to set up well defined problems, how to choose the correct elements, how to choose the correct solver etc. then this book is for you! This new edition is a big improvement on the previous edition: the presentation is a lot clearer, the print quality is better and it has been expanded with more examples and also an appendix with extra information on matrices etc. As a design engineer I find myself referring to this book quite a lot and I consult it before I tackle a new problem. The final section with the case studies sums up all the chapters with real world (i.e. practical) examples. Highly reccommended!

An essential purchase for structural FE designers!

Excellent first course in FEA!
26 July 2011
Format:Paperback
This is probably the best introductary book on FEA that I have come across. I really like the logical presentation of the chapters which come in the order in which you have to make the various decisions when doing a stress analysis FEA. The writing style is clear with a no-nonsense approach with really good use of real life examples to illustrate the point being made. The explanations are all clear and I haven't found any mistakes yet. Pretty much everything you need is in this book as there is a chapter that reviews the main concepts of stress analysis/mechanics of solids and information in the appendix on the maths required. It is one-stop-shop for those starting to learn FEA. I imagine that this book will be useful to university students and their teachers but also to those working in the field who need to upskill or a handy reference.
