Book Description
The fourth edition of this highly successful import is written with identical objectives to the original, first to teach and second to provide a "state-of-the-art" reference base of the subject. The book introduces the basic concepts of the finite element method and thereafter concentrates solely on linear programming.

Reviews


An all time classic
From the masters of the finite element method, this may well be the best book ever written on the subject. In this book, the authors come across as the sages of ancient India preaching what they know is the best, guiding us, and setting a stage of research for the years to come. This is a monumental piece of work in the history of engineering.

The milestone in FE analysis
This book is really THE milestone, the only one I really enjoy. A page-turner, a must for all people into FE stuff.

Excellent book for starters in the field
This is the ideal book for beginners in finite elements, though the approach is slightly more theoretical. If you have a good background in linear algebra and are comfortable with matrices etc, you should have no trouble finishing this one. You can aim at the definitive work by Professor Bathe after finishing this one.

Zienkiewicz and Taylor: Professors of the Century
The enormous influence Zienkiewicz and Taylor have had on the profession of engineering as mentors, teachers, engineers, and researchers, places them among the very best professors this century has seen. May I take this opportunity at Amazon.com to pay tribute to such professors worldwide for the spirit they infuse, dynamism they create, and the legacy of selfless service and excellence they leave behind. Students of 21st century will be grateful that Zienkiewicz and Taylor went before them.

The finite element method bible
There is no more complete review of the finite element method. Furthermore, all notation is written in matrix from without any hard to read diadics. Every section gives explicitly, the implementation of the procedure discussed so there's no guess work required.
