Zhuming Bi's Finite Element Analysis Applications: A Systematic and Practical Approach strikes a solid balance between more traditional finite element analysis (FEA) textbooks that focus primarily on theory and the software-specific guidebooks that help teach students and professionals how to use particular FEA software without providing any of the theoretical foundation, the publisher reports.
In this textbook, Professor Bi condenses the introduction of theories and focuses mainly on the essentials that students need to understand about FEA models. The book is organized to be application oriented, covering FEA modeling theory and skills directly associated with activities involved in design processes; discussion of such classic FEA elements as truss, beam and frame is limited.
Through the use of several case studies, the book provides easy-to-follow guidance on modeling of different design problems. It uses SolidWorks simulation as the platform so that students do not need to waste time creating geometries from FEA modeling.
