Book Reviews of An Introduction to Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis
Book Review: classic
Summary: 5 Stars
There is this one thing I know. When you are learning from a superior intelligence you can find that out pretty quick. My greed for calculus and math finds an apt expression here. The way he presents non linear finite elements is unparalled.
There is another thing I have learnt. The people who can explain things clearly, are the ONLY ones who know it. And they are not too many, when it comes to horribly complicated problems, besides. Math cuts out a lot of verbiage, in understanding a problem. A simple math problem when described in words could go on and on and on. If you have a apetite for calculus and a craving for numerical analysis, you would be a poorer man if you didnt have this book. If you dont, well you are not good enough to pick up finite elements anyhow, forget about non linear analysis.
One small note. This is just pertinent to me. I dont write code in fortran so parts of the book were not of much use to me. But the concept is laid out very well. I would have loved it if the code was in C++. But its okay. If I were to just copy code, that would be shabby learning anyhow. So it works out fine.
Summary of An Introduction to Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis
This book presents the theory and computer implementations of the finite element method as applied to nonlinear problems of heat transfer and similar field problems, fluid mechanics (flows of incompressible fluids), and solid mechanics (elasticity, beams and plates). Both geometric as well as material nonlinearities are considered, and static and transient (i.e.: time-dependent) responses are studied. Although there exist a number of books on nonlinear finite elements that serve as good references for engineers who are familiar with the subject and wish to learn advanced topics or the latest developments, there is currently no book which is suitable as a textbook for a first course on nonlinear finite element analysis. This book fills the void in the market, providing a clear understanding of the concepts of nonlinear finite element analyses through detailed theoretical formulations and computer implementation steps, examples and exercises. In addition, the book serves as a prelude to more advanced books on the subject.General Books
