A structural mechanical approach to finite element analysis, now in a new edition. Contains over 750 problems (many of them new), introduces matrix methods early on and includes Fortran algorithms for solving numerous problems. Emphasis is physical and practical, rather than mathematical, and advanced topics such as nonlinear material behavior and structural dynamics are given comprehensive treatment.

- Good
- The book is very good for beginers in FEM. It doesn't go very much into details. More reviews
- Great
- It explains the the hard concepts in a nice way. But the material covers the great extent of FEA.
It is good for reference.

- Another student prospective
- The comments left are interesting in that all the people teaching from it find it useful, and all the students find it frustrating...there is a trend here!
I agree that the explanations are great in detail and the content practical, but at a graduate level with minimal support from the professor and no TA available, not having examples or solutions (to… More reviews
- A collection of papers at best
- I am a graduate student of solid mechanics and I have read quite a few books on FEA. Of all the textbooks I have read-this is clearly the worst. The authors don't spend any time to make the material coherent and organized. They seem to have published this book just for the sake of establishing their names in the field. It is basically a collection of research papers… More reviews
- Not an undergraduage text
- This book was used to 'introduce' us to finite element analysis. To say the least, the book is very hard to follow. For an undergraduate text book, I don't recommend it at all. The problems are very difficult and assume you have a lot of knowledge on other subjects. Also there are close to no examples. This would be a great book for graduate classes or those seriously… More reviews
