| Summary |
This book is an accessible introduction to finite elements analysis. The exposition moves gradually from simple concepts to more advanced theory, with the goal of making competent applications based on solid understanding. In addition to theory, considerable attention is given to practical matters: modeling for finite element analysis, checking computed results for errors, and revising an analysis as needed |
