About the Author :
Esam M. Alawadhi is a professor of mechanical engineering at Kuwait University. He earned his doctor of philosophy (May 2001) in mechanical engineering from Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His research focuses on renewable energy, thermal management of electronics devices, energy conservation for buildings, fluid flow stability, and phase-change heat transfer.
Review :
"A must read for those interested in exploring the possibilities of using the finite element method (FEM) as a practical analysis tool for structural mechanics, stress analysis, vibration, heat transfer, and fluid dynamic problems. … Alawadhi systematically introduces the theory of FEA, and demonstrates a step-by-step procedure for practical analysis using ANSYS. This book is a must-have reference for students, academics, and practitioners in the field of mechanical, civil, environmental, and design engineering."
—Dr. Arun Arjunan, University of Wolverhampton, UK
"This book provides mechanical engineering students and working engineers with the basic fundamental knowledge of numerical simulation using ANSYS. The examples and background provided will allow those new to modeling to quickly gain confidence and begin to accurately model complex mechanical problems."
