Elastic Structures From AmazonA thorough
guide to the fundamentals–and how to use them–of finite element analysis for
elastic structuresFor elastic
structures, the finite element method is an invaluable tool which is used most
effectively only when one understands completely each of its facets. A Primer
for Finite Elements in Elastic Structures disassembles the entire finite
element method for civil engineering students and professionals, detailing its
supportive theory and its mathematical and structural underpinnings, in the
context of elastic structures and the principle of virtual work.The book
opens with a discussion of matrix algebra and algebraic equation systems to
foster the basic skills required to successfully understand and use the finite
element method. Key mathematical concepts outlined here are joined to pertinent
concepts from mechanics and structural theory, with the method constructed in
terms of one-dimensional truss and framework finite elements. The use of these
one-dimensional elements in the early chapters promotes better understanding of
the fundamentals. Subsequent chapters describe many two-dimensional structural
finite elements in depth, including the geometry, mechanics, transformations,
and mapping needed for them.Most chapters
end with questions and problems which review the text material. Answers for
many of these are at the end of the book. An appendix describes how to use
MATLAB(r), a popular matrix-manipulation software platform necessary to perform
the many matrix operations required for the finite element method, such as
matrix addition, multiplication, inversion, partitioning, rearrangement, and
assembly. As an added extra, the m-files discussed can be downloaded from the
Wiley FTP server.
