โฆ Synopsis
This updated, revised and extended edition gives a comprehensive introduction to the understanding and use of the finite element method as applied to structures. The text methodically covers all the important bridges in understanding up to and including the introduction of isoparametric elements.

I have attempted to read other books on the finite element method, but have found their approach unsatisfactory. Most books seem to present the method in such a way that it appears to come out of blue. As a result, I am left with a lack of confidence in the method--especially since I am loathe to
Providing a systematic approach and simple introduction ot the finite element method, this self-contained book will enable the reader to obtain a clear understanding of the concepts involved in this traditionally complicated methodology.
