Features: This book emphasizes the engineering concepts, digital mechanics foundation, modeling methods, and practical applications of finite element analysis. The book is divided into 3 parts, with a total of 12 chapters. Part 1 covers the fundamental principles of finite element analysis, including Chapters 1 to 5, with content such as: the mechanical foundation of finite element analysis, the mathematical solution principles of finite element analysis, the finite element analysis principles of rod and beam structures, and the finite element analysis principles of elastic problems in continuous media. Part 2 covers the extended content of finite element analysis, including Chapters 6 to 8, with content such as: the properties and error handling of elements in finite element analysis, complex elements and their implementation in finite element analysis, and the application areas of finite element analysis (structural vibration problems, elastoplastic problems, heat transfer and thermal stress problems). Part 3 covers the modeling, software platforms, and case studies of finite element analysis, including Chapters 9 to 12, with content such as: the implementation and modeling of finite element analysis, the independent program development of finite element analysis, and its integration with the ANSYS platform. Case studies of finite element modeling and analysis based on the ANSYS platform and the MARC platform are also included. The book provides both Chinese and English keyword indexes and comes with a companion CD-ROM. The theoretical explanations in the book are concise and to the point, with abundant examples. The three parts of the book are interconnected yet can also be used independently, making them suitable for students at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels as course textbooks, as well as for readers of varying levels for self-study. For readers who wish to perform modeling and analysis on the ANSYS and MARC platforms, this book is particularly valuable as a reference. The target audience for this book includes senior undergraduate and graduate students, as well as engineering technicians and researchers in fields such as mechanical engineering, mechanics, civil engineering, hydraulic engineering, and aerospace.
