Practical Stress Analysis with Finite Elements (2nd Edition)

Are you tired of picking up a book that claims to be on "practical" finite element analysis only to find that it is full of the same old theory rehashed and contains no advice to help you plan your analysis? If so then this book is for you! The emphasis of this book is on doing FEA, not writing a FE code. A method is provided to help you plan your analysis and a chapter is devoted to each choice you have to make when building your model giving you clear and specific advice. Finally nine case studies are provided which illustrate the points made in the main text and take you slowly through your first finite element analyses. The book is written in such a way that it is not specific to any particular FE software so it doesn't matter which FE software you use, this book can help you! The 2nd Edition of this very popular finite element analysis guide: 1)Emphasises practical finite element analysis with commercially available finite element software packages 2)Is written in a generic way so it is not specific to any particular software but clearly shows the methodology required for successful FEA 3)Is focused entirely on structural stress analysis 4)Offers specific advice on which element types to use, which material model to pick, which type of analysis to use and which type of results to look for 5)Provides specific, no nonsense advice on how to fix problems in the analysis 6)Contains over 300 illustrations 7)Provides nine detailed case studies which specifically show you how to perform various types of analysis 8)Does not weigh you down with unnecessary theory, but provides you with the minimum theory needed to understand the methods 9)Is an invaluable guide and reference for engineering students and practising engineers.

This book provides an introduction to programming the finite element method in Java for students, researchers and engineers who are reasonably familiar with the finite element method and want to learn how to write their own finite element code using Java. This book is written as an introductory text and it is assumed that the reader has little or no knowledge of object‐oriented programming or Java. By concentrating on line elements, specifically structural trusses, it is possible to make the code very simple and relatively easy to understand. The philosophy of the book is to teach the reader how to write a very simple object‐oriented finite element code in Java, with the understanding that once the reader has these skills they should easily be able to extend the code to more complex problems. As newcomers to programming find dealing with command line executed software frustrating and challenging; the Android operating system is used to develop a graphical user interface to allow the reader to interact with their Java code. Android provides a relatively simple (and very well supported) platform for coding a user interface and means that the finished application will work on any Android device (smartphone, tablet, etc.) The book is supported by a webpage which contains the source code for the Android app and other helpful material. The Android app that is detailed in the book is also available for download.
