Features: This book emphasizes the engineering concepts, digital mechanics foundation, modeling methods, and practical applications of finite element analysis. It is divided into 3 parts, comprising 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 for rod and beam structures
- The finite element analysis principles for continuous elastic problems
Part 2 covers the extended content of finite element analysis, including Chapters 6 to 8, with content such as:
- Element properties and error handling in finite element analysis
- Complex elements and implementation in finite element analysis
- Application domains 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:
- Implementation and modeling in finite element analysis
- Independent program development for finite element analysis
- Integration with the ANSYS platform
- Finite element modeling and analysis based on the ANSYS platform
- Finite element modeling and analysis based on the MARC platform
This book also provides keyword indexes in both Chinese and English and comes with a companion CD-ROM. The theoretical explanations are concise and to the point, with abundant examples. The three parts of the book are interconnected yet can 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.
