N1  - Index : p. 479-484; Includes bibliographical references; Overview of the finite element method FEM -- Mathematical Background -- Linear Spring Elements -- Bar Elements and hydraulic networks -- Trusses -- Beams -- Frames -- The Principle of Minimum Potential Energy for 1D Elements -- From Ideal to Real Plane Structural Elements: Elasticity Equations for 2D and 3D Solids -- The Principle of Minimum Potential Energy for 2D and 3D Elements -- Structural Dynamics -- Heat Transfer
N2  - Fundamental coverage, analytic mathematics, and up-to-date software applications are hard to find in a single text on the finite element method (FEM). Dimitrios Pavlou's Essentials of the Finite Element Method: For Structural and Mechanical Engineers makes the search easier by providing a comprehensive but concise text for those new to FEM, or just in need of a refresher on the essentials. Essentials of the Finite Element Method explains the basics of FEM, then relates these basics to a number of practical engineering applications. Specific topics covered include linear spring elements
