This updated, revised and extended edition gives a comprehensive introduction to the understanding and use of the finite element method as applied to structures. The text methodically covers all the important bridges in understanding up to and including the introduction of isoparametric elements.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"As the title suggests, the book is of introductory nature, written primarily as a text book for undergraduate engineering courses. Topics covered are presented systematically including detailed derivation of governing matrices, and procedures to develop necessary computer programs. ...the book will also be a useful reference guide to practising engineers, who can implement the programs and solve their application problems" - Journal of Structural Engineering
