Book Description
Finite Element Analysis, second edition is a comprehensive guide that explores the versatility and affordability of the finite element method (FEM) as a powerful tool for solving engineering problems across various industries. This book provides a practical introduction to FEM analysis, covering applications in mechanical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, and physics. It presents a balanced blend of theory and applications, catering to both beginners and those seeking to enhance their FEM skills. The book emphasizes a comparative approach by presenting solutions to problems through three different methods: analytical, FEM hand calculations, and software-based methods. This enables readers to grasp the strengths and limitations of each approach, enhancing their understanding of FEM techniques.
FEATURES:
Covering mathematical preliminaries to advanced engineering applications, the book covers a wide range of topics, including axial loaded members, trusses, beams, stress analysis, thermal analysis, fluid flow analysis, dynamic analysis, and engineering electromagnetics analysis
Includes a comparison of solutions to the problems obtained by the analytical method, FEM hand calculations, and the software method
Includes over 35 solved problems using software applications such as MATLAB, COMSOL, and ANSYS
Features companion files containing executable models and animations related to each solved problem.
