Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

A textbook for undergraduate engineering students and professionals in the field new to finite element analysis. Introduces the technique using the general-purpose finite element computer program, ANSYS. Generally avoids deep theory, but provides enough on each topic to allow readers to use the soft

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Table of contents provided by Syndetics

  • Features
  • Provides comprehensive -- but not overwhelming -- coverage of finite element theory
  • Helps readers learn how to use ANSYS quickly and effectively
  • Shows how to use ANSYS step by step to model a physical problem
  • Integrates ANSYS throughout
  • Each chapter
  • First discusses the relevant basic theory and then demonstrates it using simple problems with hand-calculations
  • Follows with examples that are solved using ANSYS
  • Presents all exercises in the same manner
  • Some exercises require manual calculations, while others, more complex in nature, require the use of ANSYS
  • Discusses various sources of error that can contribute to wrong results
  • Emphasizes how to manually verify Finite Element Analysis (FEA) findings
  • Devotes a section of approaches for verifying ANSYS results at the end of selected chapters
  • Features a number of open-ended design problems at the end of Chapters. 7, 8, and 10
  • Devotes the concluding chapter to design optimization and parametric programming with ANSYS
  • Offers a brief review of fundamental principles in solid mechanics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics
  • Appendices give mechanical and thermophysical properties of some common materials used in engineering
  • Provides a list of objectives and a summary for each chapter
