Finite Element Analysis of Solids and Structures

This textbook combines the theory of elasticity (advanced analytical treatment of stress analysis problems) and finite element methods (numerical details of finite element formulations) into one academic course derived from author's teaching, research, and applied work in automotive product development and civil structural analysis.

About the author

Dr. Sudip Bhattacharjee is a technical specialist for vehicle crashworthiness working in automotive industry, a former university faculty member, and a researcher with 30+ years of hands-on experience in finite element analysis of solids and structures. He has been teaching the subject to graduate students at the University of Windsor, Ontario, intermittently for the past 20 years, and to the students at the University of Michigan, Dearborn, for 5 years. A finite element analysis program, developed by Dr. Bhattacharjee during Ph.D. and post-doctoral research, was subsequently used by many research students in fracture response analysis of concrete dams.
