TI - A Primer on Finite Element Analysis SN - 9789381159101 U1 - 620.00151825 KUL 23rd PY - 2014/// CY - New Delhi PB - University Science Press KW - Finite element method; Strains and stresses; Materials--Elastic properties; Calculus of variations; Elastic plates and shells; Galerkin methods N1 - About the Book: This book is written primarily to help the students as a gentle introduction to the practice of FEM. It contains complementary/supplementary material to the textbooks covering the theoretical aspects of the subject. It also contains many 1-D and 2-D problems solved by analytical method, by FEM using hand calculations and by using commercial FEM software - ANSYS 12.0 - an academic teaching software. It helps the students in building confidence in the method. Key Features Includes a comparison of solutions to the problems obtained by Analytical method, FEM hand calculations and software method. Includes about 35 solved problems using software. Includes about 30 exercise problems. Includes step-by-step procedures of solving the problem by using software. Table of Contents: Contents: 1.
