Product Description
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.

 Excellent First Text August 24, 2007

A very good book for someone that has never studied this subject before. It's clearly written, and has very good practical examples. I was able to easily work the problems in the end of the chapters using the equations and examples in the text. To use this book, you need to have elementary knowledge of mechanics of materials, basic structural design, and matrices. There is a very good appendix on matrices, which helps you work through that part of FEM.
Excellent first course in FEM October 21, 2001

This book may be the best text book I have come across in years.
If you have the basis of engineering (or physics or maths) you barely need an instructor.
The explainations are clear, and I haven't found any mistakes yet (if there are mistakes they will be few).
Lots of nice problems with answers provided.This book is excellent for whom desires to learn on which basis FEMs work (undergraduate and graduate).
Great update May 30, 2007

I bought this book to review for a class I teach in Finite Element Method. It is an update of the previous edition, with was a great book. I highly recommend this book!
A good book for understanding FEM within a week March 9, 2008

This is a good book for the students like me, who would apply FEM for their research but have no idea about FEM. Usually, we don't need to know too much detail about FEM. We only need the basic principle. That's what this book offers. Instead of complex stress-strain analysis in other FEM books, this book starts from one-dimensional truss and beam problems to two-dimensional plane stress problems. I just read half of the book and now feel very comfortable with a FEM code.
Nice book!
