Product Description
Product Description
Practical Stress Analysis with Finite Elements is an ideal introductory text for newcomers to finite element analysis who wish to learn how to use FEA. Unlike many other books which claim to be at an introductory level, this book does not weigh the reader down with theory but rather provides the minimum amount of theory needed to understand how to practically perform an analysis using a finite element analysis software package. Newcomers to FEA generally want to learn how to apply FEA to their particular problem and consequently the emphasis of this book is on practical FE procedures. The information in this book is an invaluable guide and reference for both undergraduate and postgraduate engineering students and for practising engineers. * Emphasises practical finite element analysis with commercially available finite element software packages. * Presented in a generic format that is not specific to any particular finite element software but clearly shows the methodology required for successful FEA. * Focused entirely on structural stress analysis. * Offers specific advice on the type of element to use, the best material model to use, the type of analysis to use and which type of results to look for. * Provides specific, no nonsense advice on how to fix problems in the analysis. * Contains over 300 illustrations * Provides 9 detailed case studies which specifically show you how to perform various types of analyses. 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, 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 slowely 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!

Excellent, A must have for anyone trying to learn FEA!,
This review is from: Practical Stress Analysis with Finite Elements (Paperback)
I have to do a lot of finite element modelling as part of my Ph.D. studies so I was searching for a book that took me from the basics and helped me to build models relevant to my research. I went through many other books before recently finding this one. All the other books I tried didn't actually tell you how to build a FEA model they just showed a load of maths and equations. After reading the other books I was still unable to do the most basic analysis required for my research.
There are a lot of very bad FEA books out there, however, this book is the exception! There is loads of information given and most of my questions were answered either in the main text or in the case study examples. The book starts out by giving an introduction to FEA, what it is and why is useful etc. The second chapter is a summary of stress analysis and is very useful. I found myself referring back to it several times as I read through the rest of the book and my software help manual. The third chapter is where this book really comes into its own: a method for helping you pick each facet of your model is given. It's really practical, problem solving stuff, which really helped me out. After going through the method suggested I could easily build basic models of my research problem. The rest of the chapters cover aspects of the FEA process in detail, such as element types and choices, material models - what they do and when to use them, boundary conditions and loads - which are the best to use in particular situations, how to set up the solution and how to fix the model if it breaks down. The final chapter contains nine case studies/examples which go through various types of analysis in detail. They range from fairly basic beam models right up to non-linear type analysis using contact etc. These case studies are absolutely excellent! Without question this is the best book on FEA currently available!

Excellent guide to performing a FEA,
By K. Rogozinski - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Practical Stress Analysis with Finite Elements (Paperback)
This book is the ideal reference manual for any engineer that performs structural analyses. All the fundamentals of finite elements are covered without excessive maths, and all concepts are explained very clearly. This is something that textbooks which focus just on theory do very poorly. If you are looking for a guide on how to perform a FEA, how to set up a well defined problem, choose your elements correctly, choose the right solver, etc.. then this book is for you. If you want to write your own FEA code, then stick to the FEA theory textbooks.
As a design engineer, I find this book to be the ideal reference and I consult it often before I tackle a problem. The final section, with case studies, sums up all the chapters with real world examples. Highly recommended for structural and numerical analysis engineers. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

Very good book!,
By Pedro M. Blotta "Pedro" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Practical Stress Analysis with Finite Elements (Paperback)
This is a very good book for whoever is starting on FEM, just as described. It's not too theoretical at all

An excellent introductory material on computer-aided stress analysis,
By M. Osawe - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Practical Stress Analysis with Finite Elements (Paperback)
This is an excellent introductory material on grasping the basic principles and procedures for setting up stress analysis problems for computer-aided analysis. I particularly like the coverage of material properties, i.e, the material types, constitutive relationships, and the significance of proper selection of material type(s) for realistic simulation of structural behavior in service.
It is suggested that the a future edition should include more practical examples of contact problems. |
