Description
The Finite Element Method (FEM) has become an indispensable technology for the modelling and simulation of engineering systems. Written
for engineers and students alike, the aim of the book is to provide the necessary theories and techniques of the FEM for readers to be
able to use a commercial FEM package to solve primarily linear problems in mechanical and civil engineering with the main focus on structural
mechanics and heat transfer.
Fundamental theories are introduced in a straightforward way, and state-of-the-art techniques for designing
and analyzing engineering systems, including microstructural systems are explained in detail. Case studies are used to demonstrate these
theories, methods, techniques and practical applications, and numerous diagrams and tables are used throughout.
The case studies and
examples use the commercial software package ABAQUS, but the techniques explained are equally applicable for readers using other applications
including NASTRAN, ANSYS, MARC, etc.
Full sets of PowerPoint slides developed by the authors for their course on FEM are available as
a free download from a companion website.
Audience
Civil, Mechanical, Structural, Aeronautical, Automotive and Marine engineers all benefit from the techniques outlined. The number of engineers
working in industries that would require this modeling and simulation of engineering systems is well over half a million.
