For engineering and physical science students, the subject of Finite Element Method is a must because we can implement numerical technique for solving engineering problem in different forms. But how to find best reference that covers comprehensive presentation and analysis of complicated domains in engineering field? It is important to guide us how to find approximate solutions by using standard techniques and correct theories such as beam, plate, shell and elasticity theory.
Finite Element Method: Linear Static and Dynamic Analysis book is designed to help civil engineering students to improve their skill to determine solution for various phenomena, particularly for structural analysis in such construction projects. By simulating problem using FEM techniques, we can minimize weight, materials, and costs based on error estimation theory for design projects with such critical parameters in many industrial applications.
This Finite Element Method book is highly recommended for whoever wants to learn how construct finite element models and get your own objective. It is suggested to learn about engineering mathematics and calculus before reading this book, in order to get better understanding, particularly for discretization of basic order differential equations, approximation and polynomial basis functions.
