Finite Element Analysis was developed as a numerical method of stress analysis, but now it has been extended as a general method of solution to many complex engineering and physical science problems. As it involves lot of calculations, its growth is closely linked with the developments in computer technology.

This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to matrix methods of structural analysis, framed within a discrete modeling approach that is well-suited for digital computation. Two principal procedures—namely, the Matrix Force Method and the Matrix Displacement Method—are thoroughly illustrated for one-dimensional structural systems. Among them, the Matrix Displacement Method is more widely adopted, owing to its straightforward extension to two- and three-dimensional structures.

Develop an understanding of the matrix method of structural analysis with the contemporary, reader-friendly approach found in Kassimali's MATRIX ANALYSIS OF STRUCTURES, 3rd Edition. 

Whether you are an advanced undergraduate or graduate student, this edition serves as an excellent resource for understanding all key aspects of the matrix method of structural analysis. Unlike traditional books that are difficult to read, this edition provides understandable, clear explanations of concepts with updated photographs and diagrams as well as flowcharts. 

Master the basic principles of structural analysis using the classical approach found in Kassimali's distinctive STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS, 6th Edition. This edition presents concepts in a logical order, progressing from an introduction of each topic to an analysis of statically determinate beams, trusses and rigid frames, and then to the analysis of statically indeterminate structures. 

This textbook has been primarily written for undergraduate and postgraduate engineering students studying the mechanics of solids and structural systems. 

The content focuses on matrix, finite elements, structural analysis, and computer implementation in a unified and integrated manner. Using classical methods of structural analysis, it discusses matrix and the finite element methods in an easy-to-understand manner. It consists of a large number of diagrams and illustrations for easy understanding of the concepts. All the computer codes are presented in "FORTRAN" AND "C". 

Finite element analysis has been widely applied to study biomedical problems. This book aims to simulate some common medical problems using finite element advanced technologies, which establish a base for medical researchers to conduct further investigations.

Finite element analysis has been widely applied in mechanical, civil, and biomedical designs. This new edition provides the readers with comprehensive views of various material models through practical examples, which will help them better understand various materials and build appropriate material models in finite element analysis. Material Modeling in Finite Element Analysis, Second Edition, consists of four main parts: (1) metals, (2) polymers, (3) soils, and (4) modern materials. 

Finite element analysis is a basic foundational topic that all engineering majors need to understand in order for them to be productive engineering analysts for a variety of industries. This book provides an introductory treatment of finite element analysis with an overview of the various fundamental concepts and applications. It introduces the basic concepts of the finite element method and examples of analysis using systematic methodologies based on ANSYS software. 

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 the theoretical foundation. In this new textbook, Professor Bi condenses the introduction of theories and focuses mainly on essentials that students need to understand FEA models.

For more than a century, we have had a firm grasp on rotor dynamics involving rigid bodies with regular shapes, such as cylinders and shafts. However, to achieve an equally solid understanding of the rotational behavior of flexible bodies—especially those with irregular shapes, such as propeller and turbine blades—we require more modern tools and methods.
