Logan presents a clear and concise explaination to the basic finite element method prior to introducing the Algor computer program operation. Although the Algor instuctions are slightly dated (version 12) compared to the latest version of the program (version 16) they still provided straightforward and valuable information. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to explore the benefits of finite element analysis. The text is clearly aimed at structural analysis with Algor. But the benefits go beyond a specific program.

Provides a basic approach to the finite element method that can be understood by both undergraduate and graduate students without the usual prerequisites, such as structural analysis, required by most texts. Coverage includes truss equations, beam equations, plane strain stiffness equations, axisymmetric elements, isoparametric formulation, and three-dimensional stress analysis. Written primarily for undergraduate students in civil and mechanical engineering whose main interests are in stress analysis and heat transfer. This third edition contains a new chapter on plate bedding, new information on modeling and interpreting results, and new design-type problems. Logan is affiliated with the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)From the Publisher
"Logan does a very good job of keeping things simple and straight forward. Fairly well written using a simple approach without extensive theoretical and mathematical theory. The text is very complete.""Logan has a very easy-to-read style, while retaining the precision and clarity of engineering topics without being dry."
"The author presented topics in a simple and easy-to-follow way and provided subsequently proper derivation or illustration to enhance students' understanding. I cannot find a textbook which is better than this one in the field of finite element method."
