This book is a concise, self-contained treatment of the finite element method and all the computational techniques needed for its efficient use and practical implementation. This book describes the process of transforming the physical problem into a mathematical model, the reduction of the mathematical model to a numerically solvable computational form, and many practical engineering analysis solution techniques applied in various industries.
The first edition of this book was published in 2004, two decades ago. Since then, finite element analysis (FEA) has become a fundamental component of product development software tools (CAD, CAE, CAM) used in many industrial fields of engineering, particularly in mechanical and aerospace engineering. It has also become a popular text in computational science in engineering (CSE) and applied mathematics courses in academia, one of the reasons for the new edition.
This new edition presents finite element solutions to advanced industrial applications in response to readers of the earlier editions. These are heat transfer, wave propagation, topology optimization, and fluid dynamics. These topics were requested both by engineering and applied mathematics students as well as practicing mechanical and aerospace engineers. It also contains the numerical solution of a structural example to aid the teaching of finite element analysis using this textbook.

About the Author
Louis Komzsik is a graduate of the Technical University of Budapest with an engineering degree and the Eötvös University of Sciences in Budapest with a mathematics degree, both in Hungary. From 1974 to 2016, he worked in various industries in Europe and in the United States in finite element analysis of ships, airplanes, automobiles, satellites, and windmills.
His work on numerical computational techniques for industrial finite element analysis has been captured in the NASTRAN numerical methods handbook. He pioneered the introduction of several numerical techniques that became de-facto industrial standards, and his book about one of those topics, The Lanczos Method, has also been published in Chinese, Japanese, and Hungarian. He also worked on the topic of rotor dynamics and on the mathematical solution of structural topology optimization.
He is the author of several technical books in second or third editions. His Approximation Techniques for Engineers, 2nd ed. (2016); Applied Calculus of Variations for Engineers, 3rd ed. (2018); and Computational Techniques of Finite Element Analysis, 2nd ed. (2009) are all used in industry and in academia worldwide. He is also the coauthor of Computational Techniques of Rotor Dynamics with the Finite Element Method, originally published in 2012 and a second edition to be published later this year.
After his retirement from industry, he lectured at the Mathematics Department of the University of California in Irvine from 2017 to 2020. Since 2021 he has served as Professor Emeritus of Applied Mathematics and teaches finite element analysis using this book as the class text at Obuda University in Budapest, Hungary. In 2024, he received the gold diploma from the Technical University of Budapest celebrating his 50-year engineering career.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
