Segerlind, Larry J. Applied Finite Element Analysis
2. Edition - February 1985 179.- Euro 1985. 448 Pages, Softcover ISBN-10: 0-471-80662-5 ISBN-13: 978-0-471-80662-2 - John Wiley & Sons
Detailed description An introductory textbook for senior/graduate couses in finite element analysis taught in all engineering departments. Covers the basic concepts of the finite element method and their application to the analysis of plane structures and two-dimensional continuum problems in heat transfer, irrotational fluid flow, and elasticity. This revised edition includes a reorganization of topics and an increase in the number of homework problems. The emphasis on numerical illustrations make topis clear without heavy use of sophisticated mathematics.
