Finite Elements
Richard H. Macneal, January 1994, 11 Chapters, 550 Pages, Hardbound
$50.00


This book examines why finite elements sometimes fail and how element designers have corrected their failures. It includes quantitative analyses of failure modes and illustrations of possible side effects found in proposed remedies - providing a practical understanding of finite element performance.

Contents Include:

  • Formulation Fundamentals
  • Assumed Displacement Fields
  • Isoparametric Membrane and Solid Elements
  • The Patch Test
  • Interpolation Failure
  • Reduced Integration and Spurious Modes
  • More Remedies for Locking
  • Plate Bending Elements
