The purpose of the sixth edition, which is fully adapted to the International System of Units, is to present a comprehensible and documented approach to the finite element method, suitable for both undergraduate and graduate students.
The book was written to serve as the main "tool" for undergraduate students in civil and mechanical engineering, who will certainly deal mainly with stress analysis and heat transfer, but also covers topics related to fluid flow in porous media and through hydraulic networks, electrical networks, and electrostatics. The concepts are presented in a simple form and are accompanied by many examples of problems.
The book presents the theoretical background and the most basic handling methods for the following topics:
In addition, the book includes appendices on: matrix algebra, methods for solving systems of equations, theory of elasticity, equivalent nodal forces, and principle of virtual work. The book contains more than 100 solved examples for better understanding of the theory, while at the end of the chapters more than 570 problems are given for solution. The answers for many of them are included at the end of the book.
