Features: This book systematically explains the fundamental theories and program implementation methods of the Finite Element Method (FEM) in structural analysis in a concise and accessible manner. The book consists of ten chapters and one appendix. The content includes:
- Chapters 1 to 5 cover the Finite Element Method for linear elastic static problems;
- Chapter 6 covers the Finite Element Method for dynamic problems;
- Chapter 7 covers the Finite Element Method for material nonlinear problems;
- Chapter 8 covers the Finite Element Method for geometric nonlinear problems;
- Chapter 9 covers the program design of the Finite Element Method;
- Chapter 10 provides an overview of Finite Element software technology and introduces several well-known general-purpose Finite Element software packages.
The appendix presents the full source code of the Visual C++ programs used in this book. This book is suitable as a textbook or reference for senior undergraduate and graduate students in engineering disciplines, as well as for technical professionals in related fields.
