Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Kim and Sankar have written a new concise text for the undergraduate finite elements course. The authors integrate many applications from across the different engineering disciplines. They also include numerous worked examples to help students better understand the key concepts and skills. The text takes a software neutral approach, but supports students with appendices on the most widely used software packages.

Introduction to Finite Element Analysis and Design introduces the basic concepts so that students can use this method efficiently and interpret the results properly.  In order to establish a common ground before presenting the theoretical aspects of FEM, the text first reviews concepts in mathematics and mechanics of materials that are prerequisite.  Through practical applications, the concepts of FEM are illustrated in the main text, while examples using four different commercial programs appear in the Appendix; the concepts can be introduced in the general finite element theory, and practice can be carried out using different programs, based on individual preference.  The following programs are supported: MATLAB, ANSYS, ABAQUS, NASTRAN, and Pro/Engineer.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr. Nam-Ho Kim is presently Assistant Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Florida. He graduated with a Ph.D. in the Department of Mechanical Engineering from the University of Iowa in 1999 and worked at the Center for Computer-Aided Design as a postdoctoral associate until 2001. His research areas include structural design optimization, design sensitivity analysis, nonlinear structural mechanics, structural-acoustics, and meshfree method. He has published more than forty refereed journal and conference papers in the above areas.
