Features: This book is one of the "New Technologies in Civil Engineering" series compiled by the Department of Civil Engineering at Tsinghua University. It is written in a tripartite format of "Principles, Procedures, and Progress" as a textbook and monograph on the finite element method. The book introduces both the fundamental theory and related programs of the finite element method, reflects recent advancements in related disciplines, and presents some of the authors' new achievements. The book consists of nine chapters, sequentially covering plane problem finite elements, plane and spatial isoparametric elements, finite element methods for thin plates, finite element methods for thick plates, finite element methods for thin shells, and the implementation of finite element programs. It can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as a reference for engineering and technical personnel.
