Finite Element Analysis is an analytical engineering tool originated in the 1960's by the Aerospace and nuclear power industries to find usable, approximate solutions to problems with many complex variables. Rao provides a thorough grounding of the mathematical principles for this technique and shows how to set up finite element solutions in civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering applications. The new edition features updated examples from Matlab, Ansys, and Abaqus, new practical real-life examples and problems, and for more advanced classes, a new chapter on additional FEM topics, including extended FEM (X-FEM). Professional engineers will also benefit from the introduction to the many useful applications of finite element analysis, and will gain a better understanding of its limitations and special uses. Revised and updated chapters on Matlab, Ansys, and AbaqusNew chapter Additional Topics in Finite Element Method includes discussion of practical considerations, errors and pitfalls in FEM, singularity elements as well as a brief presentation of recent developments in FEM including extended FEM (called X-FEM), augmented FEM (called A-FEM) and partition of unity FEM (POUFEM)Improved pedagogy, including the addition of more design-oriented and practical examples and problems, coverage of real-life applications, addition of sample review questions at the end of most chapters, and updated references INDICE: 1.
