Although there are many books on the finite element method (FEM) on the market, very few present its basic formulation in a simple, unified manner. Furthermore, many of the available texts address either only structure-related problems or only fluid or heat-flow problems, and those that explore both do so at an advanced level.

Introductory Finite Element Method examines both structural analysis and flow (heat and fluid) applications in a presentation specifically designed for upper-level undergraduate and beginning graduate students, both within and outside of the engineering disciplines. It includes a chapter on variational calculus, clearly presented to show how the functionals for structural analysis and flow problems are formulated. The authors provide both one- and two-dimensional finite element codes and a wide range of examples and exercises. The exercises include some simpler ones to solve by hand calculation-this allows readers to understand the theory and assimilate the details of the steps in formulating computer implementations of the method.

Anyone interested in learning to solve boundary value problems numerically deserves a straightforward and practical introduction to the powerful FEM. Its clear, simplified presentation and attention to both flow and structural problems make Introductory Finite Element Method the ideal gateway to using the FEM in a variety of applications.
Industry Reviews
"This is an excellent addition to the available textbooks on finite element methodThe mathematical formulations and fundamental concepts illustrated with simple examples and summaries or comments and plenty of exercises presented at the end of each chapter are other merits of the bookThe book is highly recommended for undergraduate students and teachers in universities." - Appl Mech Rev, Vol. 55, no. 1 "Intended for use within and outside engineering disciplines, this book examines both stress-deformation analysis and flow (heat and fluid) applications. offers an introduction to the finite element method" -Sci Tech Book News, Vol. 25, No. 3, September 2001
