Download or read book Introductory Finite Element Method written by Chandrakant S. Desai and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there are many books on the finite element method (FEM) on the market, very few present its basic formulation in a simple, unified manner. Furthermore, many of the available texts address either only structure-related problems or only fluid or heat-flow problems, and those that explore both do so at an advanced level. Introductory Finite Element Method examines both structural analysis and flow (heat and fluid) applications in a presentation specifically designed for upper-level undergraduate and beginning graduate students, both within and outside of the engineering disciplines. It includes a chapter on variational calculus, clearly presented to show how the functionals for structural analysis and flow problems are formulated. The authors provide both one- and two-dimensional finite element codes and a wide range of examples and exercises. The exercises include some simpler ones to solve by hand calculation-this allows readers to understand the theory and assimilate the details of the steps in formulating computer implementations of the method. Anyone interested in learning to solve boundary value problems numerically deserves a straightforward and practical introduction to the powerful FEM. Its clear, simplified presentation and attention to both flow and structural problems make Introductory Finite Element Method the ideal gateway to using the FEM in a variety of applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Finite Element Design of Concrete Structures: practical problems and their solutions the author addresses this blind belief in computer results by offering a useful critique that important details are overlooked due to the flood of information from the output of computer calculations. Indeed, errors in the numerical model may lead in extreme cases to structural failures as the collapse of the so-called Sleipner platform has demonstrated.

Download or read book TEXTBOOK OF FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS written by P. SESHU and published by PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed for a one-semester course in Finite Element Method, this compact and well-organized text presents FEM as a tool to find approximate solutions to differential equations. This provides the student a better perspective on the technique and its wide range of applications. This approach reflects the current trend as the present-day applications range from structures to biomechanics to electromagnetics, unlike in conventional texts that view FEM primarily as an extension of matrix methods of structural analysis. After an introduction and a review of mathematical preliminaries, the book gives a detailed discussion on FEM as a technique for solving differential equations and variational formulation of FEM. This is followed by a lucid presentation of one-dimensional and two-dimensional finite elements and finite element formulation for dynamics. The book concludes with some case studies that focus on industrial problems and Appendices that include mini-project topics based on near-real-life problems. Postgraduate/Senior undergraduate students of civil, mechanical and aeronautical engineering will find this text extremely useful; it will also appeal to the practising engineers and the teaching community.

Download or read book Introduction to Finite Element Method written by Prof Dr N S V Kameswara Rao and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-11 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is aimed at presenting the theory and practice of Finite Element Method (FEM) in a manner which makes it is easy to learn the concepts, analysis, and methodology of FEM through simple derivations and worked out examples in interdisciplinary areas. While there are many advanced books and manuals on the subject, there are very few books illustrating the method through simple examples and computations. The emphasis is on hands on learning of the FEM through manually worked out examples. The book consists of 6 chapters covering the subject matter with several worked out examples in interdisciplinary areas. FEM has become a powerful tool for solving complex problems in engineering and sciences in the past several decades. This is so since the computational procedures involved are very general and can be formulated in variational and (or) weighted residual forms. The method involves physical discretisation of the domain into finite elements, evaluation of element characteristics and re-assembling the domain represented by the element characteristics and then solving the resulting system response equations. The discretisation of the domain is only physical and mathematical treatment can be as exact as may be required either through improved element characteristics and (or) through refined discretisation (increased and smaller sized elements - (refined mesh). This makes the FEM superior and conceptually different from other numerical methods. The above topics are covered in the book with examples of analysis of simple structures such as rods, trusses, beams and beam columns, frames and elastic solids. Effects of temperature, initial strains, loads and boundary conditions on these structures are also illustrated. Chapters on Applications of the method to Foundation analysis and design, and Flow through porous media along with manually worked out examples are included. The book also presents the background details needed for various applications such as in foundation analysis and design, elasticity, seepage studies etc. The main features of the book are summarised as follows.-Simple and user friendly presentation for easy understanding. -Provides hands on experience with manually worked out examples. -Coverage of several and varied application areas in Civil Engineering, Solid Mechanics, Mechanical Engineering with easy extension to other areas. -Facilitates hands on learning of the subject for undergraduate and graduate students; and offering the course as an e-learning course / online course.-The course material is presented to make it as much self- contained as possible. The emphasis is on explaining logically the physical steps of handling of FEM procedure for a thorough understanding of the applications through manually worked out examples. -The parameters needed as inputs for FEM computations and the background material for various interdisciplinary applications have also been discussed to clarify the ambiguities that may exist in their choice. With the interest in customized solutions using FEM likely to expand in various conventional and non- conventional areas of study, advances in problem solving and interpretation are expected to increase manifold. FEM can be useful for application in almost all areas of practical and theoretical interest. It is earnestly hoped that the present book will be very helpful in advancing the learning and practicing of FEM by all enthusiastic learners and teachers interested in this area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the work performed to date on the problem of developing a plate buckling analysis capable of coping with the problems of elastic boundary constraints, thermal gradients, geometrically irregular boundaries, etc., a generally applicable buckling analysis approach has been developed and applied to columns. In the belief that this procedure could be of some practical usefulness in its application to column problems, the method and its application to several simple problems are presented herein. In addition, the results offer some interesting insights into column behavior which do not appear to be generally appreciated. (Author).
