Annotation
This work strikes a solid balance between more traditional FEA textbooks that focus primarily on theory, and the software specific guidebooks that help teach students and professionals how to use particular FEA software packages without providing the theoretical foundation. Professor Bi condenses the introduction of theories and focuses mainly on essentials that students need to understand FEA models. The book is organised to be application-oriented, covering FEA modelling theory and skills directly associated with activities involved in design processes. Discussion of classic FEA elements (such as truss, beam and frame) is limited.
