Features: This book is one of the civil engineering series textbooks organized and compiled by South China University of Technology Press. Its purpose is to enable readers to better master the basic principles of the finite element method, programming methods, and preliminary applications in engineering practice. The book consists of 9 chapters, including constant strain elements for plane problems in elasticity, program design for plane finite element methods, higher-order elements, spatial problems, bar structures, bending of plates, dynamic problems, finite element methods for elastoplastic problems, and finally introduces the use of large-scale general-purpose finite element programs and pre- and post-processing methods.
