Opis

The aim of this book is to provide professional engineers and students of engineering with a sound working knowledge of the finite element method for engineering analysis and engineering design. This readable text will serve as a guide both to the method, and to its implementation in PAFEC (Program for Automatic Finite Element Calculations) softwar

Recenzje

"The general layout of the book is clear and concise with the use of chapter summaries and conclusions being very good...At the end of each chapter there is a list of useful references, and the book finishes with an index, which is brief yet definitive...particular benefit to the new PAFEC user." - Vibration Digest

"This readable text will serve as a guide both to the method and to its implementation in PAFEC (Program for Automatic Finite Element Calculations) software." - INSPEC
