„The book is highly recommended for all engineering students, researchers and practicing engineers involved in developing/utilising finite element techniques. I have confidence that even anexperienced analyst would benefit from a review of this material!“(The Aeronautical Journal, March 2010)
A Practical Guide to Reliable Finite Element Modelling
von Alan MorrisMany books have been written about the finite element method; little however has been written about procedures that assist apracticing engineer in undertaking an analysis in such a way thaterrors and uncertainties can be controlled. In A Practical Guide toReliable Finite Element Modelling, Morris addresses this importantarea. His book begins by introducing the reader to finite elementanalysis (FEA), covering the fundamental principles of the method, whilst also outlining the potential problems involved. He thenestablishes consistent methods for carrying out analyses andobtaining accurate and reliable results, concluding with a newmethod for undertaking error control led analyses which isillustrated by means of two case studies.
The book addresses a number of topics that:
* Systematically cover anintroduction to FEA, how computers build linear-static andlinear-dynamic finite element models, the identification of errorsources, error control methods and error-controlled analyses.
* Enable the reader tosupport the design of complex structures with reliable, repeatableanalyses using the finite element method.
* Provide a basis forestablishing good practice that could underpin a legal defence inthe event of a claim for negligence.
A Practical Guide to Reliable Finite Element Modelling willappeal to practising engineers engaged in conducting regular finiteelement analyses, particularly those new to the field. It will alsobe a resource for postgraduate students and researchers addressingproblems associated with errors in the finite element method.
