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.
