Finite Element Methods For Engineers (2Nd Edition) (Paperback)

Finite Element Methods For Engineers (2nd Edition)Author(s): Roger T Fenner\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Imperial College Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Imperial College Press\nISBN-13: 9781848168862, 978-1848168862\nSynopsis\nThis book is intended as a textbook providing a deliberately simple introduction to finite element methods in a way that should be readily understandable to engineers, both students and practising professionals. Only the very simplest elements are considered, mainly two dimensional three-noded constant strain triangles, with simple linear variation of the relevant variables. Chapters of the book deal with structural problems (beams), classification of a broad range of engineering into harmonic and biharmonic types, finite element analysis of harmonic problems, and finite element analysis of biharmonic problems (plane stress and plane strain). Full FORTRAN programs are listed and explained in detail, and a range of practical problems solved in the text. Despit.
