Finite Elements
In this work, MacNeal examines why finite elements sometimes fail and how element designers have corrected their failures. It includes quantitative analyses of failure modes and illustrations of possible side effects found in proposed remedies, providing a practical understanding of finite element performance. The book is designed to enable users and practitioners to identify and circumvent the major flaws of finite elements, such as locking, patch-test failure, spurious models, rigid-body failure, induced anisotropy and shape sensitivity.
Finite Elements in Solids and Structures
An introduction to finite elements in their specific and elementary application to solid mechanics and structural analysis. Designed for use as an advanced undergraduate text, it deals mainly with static linear analysis but also includes a brief introduction to dynamic problems.
Finite Elements for Analysis and Design
The finite element method (FEM) is an analysis tool for problem-solving used throughout applied mathematics, engineering, and scientific computing. Finite Elements for Analysis and Design provides a thoroughlyrevised and up-to-date account of this important tool and its numerous applications, with added emphasis on basic theory. Numerous worked examples are included to illustrate the material. - Akin clearly explains the FEM, a numerical analysis tool for problem-solving throughout applied mathematics, engineering and scientific computing - Basic theory has been added in the book, including worked examples to enable students to understand the concepts - Contains coverage of computational topics, including worked examples to enable students to understand concepts - Improved coverage of sensitivity analysis and computational fluid dynamics - Uses example applications to increase students' understanding - Includes a disk with the FORTRAN source for the programs cided in the text
