Features: This book can be used as a textbook for undergraduate students of civil engineering, water conservancy, mechanical engineering, and other engineering disciplines, as well as a reference for engineering technicians and teachers in the aforementioned fields. As a foundational reading on the finite element method, the book systematically elaborates on the basic theories of the finite element method and introduces finite element analysis methods for various elastic mechanics problems. To accommodate readers with limited knowledge of elastic mechanics, Chapter 2 provides a concise introduction to the fundamental concepts of elastic mechanics involved in the finite element method. To enhance the practicality of the book, the final three chapters cover special problems in finite element analysis, the program design of structural analysis, and relevant knowledge on general-purpose finite element software for large-scale engineering projects.
