Kenneth H. Huebner, Ted G. Byrom, Douglas E. Smith, Donald L. Dewhirst - The Finite Element Method for Engineers

This is a revision of a text that has sold well and has been well-received by the technical community as a practical guide. As reflected in our reviews, the book is considered "to be among the best introductions to finite element analysis" and the authors, especially Ken Huebner and Donald Dewhirst, are highly regarded in the industry. This book has an unusual mix of authors (from both industry and academia) for a main stream engineering book which makes it more applied than the competition. With applications and examples, the text explains how the finite element method can be applied to numerous and diverse areas of mechanics problems and analysis. The finite element method is a standard area of study at most universities and this book is a useful and reliable tool for students and practitioners alike.
