Description
A Textbook of Finite Element Analysis and programming presents detailed finite
element formulation for 1D, 2D, 3D trusses, beams, frames, plane stress, plane strain,
axisymmetric, 3D problems, plates and shell problems. The book includes chapters on
solving finite element equations and numerical integration, and a chapter on
programming finite element method with input and output for different types of
problems. Chapters on advanced topics like heat transfer, fluid flow and torsion, finite
element software, variational methods, finite elements in dynamics and vibrations,
material non-linearity and geometric non-linearity have also been dealt with. Most of
the chapters include element formulation with worked out examples, exercises and
questions.
