Structural Analysis with Finite Elements

"Structural Analysis with Finite Elements provides a new foundation for the finite element method that enables structural engineers to address key questions that arise in computer modeling of structures with finite elements. The authors deserve full marks for a difficult assignment. Users of finite element software in mechanical and civil engineering will have reason to feel delighted to own a copy of the book. The book is certain to stimulate a heightened research interest in the vital area of finite elements." (Current Engineering Practice online, Vol. 47, 2004/2005)
"This book explains the theoretical foundations of the finite element method and its application in civil engineering. the text is addressed to practitioners who wish to gain inside into a method which is widely applied in todays design processes. The book seems mainly intended for the civil engineer who already applies finite element software, but it also offers interesting insight for those studying numerical methods in engineering."
