Thoroughly updated with improved pedagogy, the fifth edition of this classic textbook continues to provide students with a clear and comprehensive introduction the fundamentals of the finite element... This description may be from another edition of this product.
If you want to learn the basics of FEM, take this book. First half of the book is an excellent introduction to FEM. It explains nicely even the mathematical background, so you can basically "plug and play", make your first FE programs and solve the typical structural problems. But then, authors start to explain everything else regarding the linear FEM, in a very condensed way, and the book becomes very difficult to read. Exercises are nicely prepared and for their solving sufficient help can be found in the text.
Great book focussing on the actual method

This is a Great Book for a beginner to FEM and it clearlyfocusses on the method rather than vast theory.I have found thisbook extremely useful for developing the Java based FEM Software at my site...
