Finite Element Analysis Applications: A Systematic and Practical Approach

Zhuming Bi's Finite Element Analysis Applications: A Systematic and Practical Approach 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 any of the theoretical foundation. In this new textbook, Professor Bi condenses the introduction of theories and focus mainly on the essentials that students need to understand FEA models. The book is organized to be application-oriented, covering FEA modelling theory and skills directly associated with activities involved in design processes; discussion of such classic FEA elements such as truss, beam and frame is limited. Via the use of several case studies, the book provides easy-to-follow guidance on modelling of different design problems. It uses SolidWorks simulation as the platform so that students do not need to waste time creating geometries for FEA modelling. Provides a systematic approach to dealing with the complexity of various engineering designsIncludes sections on the design of machine elements to illustrate FEA applicationsContains practical case studies presented as tutorials to facilitate learning of FEA methodsAncillary materials include solutions manual for instructors, PPT lecture slides, and downloadable CAD models for examples in SolidWorks INDICE: 1.
