Excellent start, poor finish If you want to learn the basics of FEM, take this book. First half of the book is an excellent introduction to FEM. It explains nicely even the mathematical background, so you can basically "plug and play", make your first FE programs and solve the typical structural problems. But then, authors start to explain everything else regarding the linear FEM, in a very condensed way, and the book becomes very difficult to read. Exercises are nicely prepared and for their solving sufficient help can be found in the text. | ||
Great book focussing on the actual method This is a Great Book for a beginner to FEM and it clearlyfocusses on the method rather than vast theory. I have found thisbook extremely useful for developing the Java based FEM Software at my site... | ||
Fairly general, a good start for undergraduate level As a finite element software developer, I find this book is so designed that it is relatively easy to understand by any level of graduate student. The first few chapters on 1-dimensional finite element equation formulation is the best I have ever seen so far in the "sea" of finite element text. Other than that, the overall content of the book is rather "light". It should be read by all users who use finite element. | ||
Very good theoretical explanation of FEA This book provides a very good explanation of the math behind finite element analysis, but no information on using FEA in a real-world setting. | ||
