The finite Element Method: A Practical Course
In the past few decades, the Finite Element Method (FEM) has been developed into a key
indispensable technology in the modelling and simulation of various engineering systems.
In the development of an advanced engineering system, engineers have to go through a very
rigorous process of modelling, simulation, visualization, analysis, designing, prototyping,
testing, and finally, fabrication/construction. As such, techniques related to modelling and
simulation in a rapid and effective way play an increasingly important role in building
advanced engineering systems, and therefore the application of the FEM has multiplied
rapidly.
This book provides unified and detailed course material on the FEM for engineers and
university students to solve primarily linear problems in mechanical and civil engineering,
with the main focus on structural mechanics and heat transfer. The aim of the book is to
provide the necessary concepts, theories and techniques of the FEM for readers to be able
to use a commercial FEM package comfortably to solve practical problems and structural
analysis and heat transfer. Important fundamental and classical theories are introduced in
a straightforward and easy to understand fashion. Modern, state-of-the-art treatment of
engineering problems in designing and analysing structural and thermal systems, including
microstructural systems, are also discussed. Useful key techniques in FEMs are described
in depth, and case studies are provided to demonstrate the theory, methodology, techniques
and the practical applications of the FEM. Equipped with the concepts, theories and modelling
techniques described in this book, readers should be able to use a commercial FEM
software package effectively to solve engineering structural problems in a professional
manner.
The general philosophy governing the book is to make all the topics insightful but
simple, informative but concise, and theoretical but applicable.
