This book is intended for readers having basic knowledge in classical mechanics, the theory of elasticity and fluid mechanics. Chapter 1 presents the history of the development of the finite element method (FEM). Chapter 2 is devoted to basic mathematical concepts of the FEM. An introduction to the FEM is given in Chapter 3 with a discussion of elastic membranes. Chapter 4 discusses one-, two-, and three-dimensional elements by using linear and higher-order approximations. The finite element approximation (FEA) of field problems, harmonic and biharmonic, are given in Chapter 5. Chapter 6 deals with the FEA of heat conduction equations. Chapter 7 gives a proper tool to the reader to write his own FEM computer program. Chapter 8 deals with the FEA of beams. Chapters 9 and 10 present the FEM for elasticity problems based on Bubnov-Galerkin and variational formulations. The FEMs for torsion of prismatic bars and rods are given in Chapter 11. The FEM for quasistatic thermoelasticity theory is discussed in Chapter 12. Chapter 13 is devoted to the FEM for viscous fluid problems. Chapter 14 presents one-dimensional higher-order finite elements. Two-dimensional higher-order elements are discussed in Chapter 15. Chapter 16 presents the FEM for linear coupled thermoelasticity problems. Computer programs for three different problems are given in the final Chapter 17. The first program is related to the elastic membrane problem. The second program handles two-dimensional elasticity problems. The third program is meant for three-dimensional transient heat conduction problems. At the end of each chapter, there are a number of problems for students to solve. The mixed variational formulations of the FEM are not described in the book. The scientific results of the author are reflected in Chapter 16.
