Book
Applied Finite Element Analysis
Applied Finite Element Analysis provides a practical and accessible introduction to the finite element method (FEM) for engineering applications. The book explains the core principles of FEM, including discretization, element formulation, interpolation (shape) functions, stiffness matrix development, and numerical solution techniques. Segerlind emphasizes the application of FEM to structural mechanics, heat transfer, and elasticity problems, supported by clear mathematical derivations and step-by-step example calculations. With its focus on practical implementation and problem-solving strategies, the text serves as a valuable resource for engineering students and professionals who seek a solid grounding in both the theory and hands-on use of finite element analysis.
