About the Book

A First Course in the Finite Element Analysis provides a simple, basic approach to the finite element method that can be understood by both undergraduate and graduate students. It does not have the usual prerequisites (such as structural analysis) required by most available texts in this area. The book is written primarily as a basic learning tool for the undergraduate student in civil and mechanical engineering whose main interest is in stress analysis and heat transfer. The text is geared toward those who want to apply the finite element method as a tool to solve practical physical problems. This revised fourth edition includes the addition of a large number of new problems (including SI problems), an appendix for mechanical and thermal properties, and more civil applications.

Table of Contents:
Chapter 1 - Introduction Chapter 2 - Introduction to the Stiffness (Displacement) Method Chapter 3 - Development of Truss Equations Chapter 4 - Development of Beam Equations Chapter 5 - Frame and Grid Equations Chapter 6 - Development of the Plane Stress and Plane Strain Stiffness Equations Chapter 7 - Practical Considerations in Modeling; Interpreting Results and Examples of Plane Stress/Strain Analysis Chapter 8 - Development of the Linear-Strain Triangle Equations Chapter 9 - Axisymmetric Elements Chapter 10 - Isoparametric Formulation Chapter 11 - Three-Dimensional Stress Analysis Chapter 12 - Plate Bending Element Chapter 13 - Heat Transfer and Mass Transport Chapter 14 - Fluid Flow Chapter 15 - Thermal Stress Chapter 16 - Structural Dynamics and Time-Dependent Heat Transfer Appendix A - Matrix Algebra Appendix B - Methods for Solution of Simultaneous Linear Equations Appendix C - Equations from Elasticity Theory Appendix D - Equivalent Nodal Forces Appendix E - Principle of Virtual Work Appendix F - Properties of Structural Steel and Aluminum Shapes Answer to Selected Problems.
