Features: This book primarily introduces the fundamental principles of the finite element method for structural analysis and its object-oriented programming approach. The main content includes: matrix methods for static and dynamic analysis of truss structures, finite element methods for plane problems, finite element methods for plate bending, and the basic principles of elastic buckling analysis; object-oriented analysis, design, and programming of finite element programs; structural analysis pre- and post-graphic processing based on AutoCAD secondary development; software integration and interface design; an introduction to modern finite element software; and the application and development of the finite element method. The programs in the book are written in Visual C++. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in fields such as shipbuilding, aviation, civil engineering, and port and navigation engineering for computational structural mechanics, and can also be used as a self-study reference for general engineering technicians.
