From the Back Cover

Unique in approach and content, this book presents the theory of finite element analysis, explores its application as a design/modeling tool, and explains in detail how to use ANSYS intelligently and effectively.

FEATURES

  • Provides comprehensive ― but not overwhelming ― coverage of finite element theory.
  • Helps readers learn how to use ANSYS quickly and effectively.
    • Shows how to use ANSYS step by step to model a physical problem.
  • Integrates ANSYS throughout. Each chapter:
    • First discusses the relevant basic theory and then demonstrates it using simple problems with hand-calculations.
    • Follows with examples that are solved using ANSYS.
    • Presents all exercises in the same manner. Some exercises require manual calculations, while others, more complex in nature, require the use of ANSYS.
  • Discusses various sources of error that can contribute to wrong results.
    • Emphasizes how to manually verify Finite Element Analysis (FEA) findings.
    • Devotes a section of approaches for verifying ANSYS results at the end of selected chapters.
  • Features a number of open-ended design problems at the end of Chapters. 7, 8, and 10.
  • Devotes the concluding chapter to design optimization and parametric programming with ANSYS.
  • Offers a brief review of fundamental principles in solid mechanics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics.
  • Appendices give mechanical and thermophysical properties of some common materials used in engineering.
  • Provides a list of objectives and a summary for each chapter.
