A Primer On Finite Element Analysis

A Primer On Finite Element Analysis by Anand V Kulkarni And Venkatesh K Havanur

---

Book Summary:

This book is written primarily to help the students as a gentle introduction to the practice of FEM. It contains complementary/supplementary material to the textbooks covering the theoretical aspects of the subject. It also contains many 1-D and 2-D problems solved by analytical method, by FEM using hand calculations and by using commercial FEM software - ANSYS 12.0 - an academic teaching software. It helps the students in building confidence in the method

Audience of the Book :

This book Useful for Mechanical Engineering students.

Key Features:

• Includes a comparison of solutions to the problems obtained by Analytical method, FEM hand calculations and software method.
• Includes about 35 solved problems using software.
• Includes about 30 exercise problems.
• Includes step-by-step procedures of solving the problem by using software.
