SYNTHESIS LECTURES ON ENGINEERING LYING BY AP...

In teaching an introduction to the finite element method at the undergraduate level  a prudent
mix of theory and applications is often sought. In many cases  analysts use the finite element
method to perform parametric studies on potential designs to size parts  weed out less
desirable design scenarios  and predict system behavior under load. In this book  we discuss
common pitfalls encountered by many finite element analysts  in particular  students
encountering the method for the first time. We present a variety of simple problems in axial 
bending  torsion  and shear loading that combine the students' knowledge of theoretical
mechanics  numerical methods  and approximations particular to the finite element method
itself. We also present case studies in which analyses are coupled with experiments to
emphasize validation  illustrate where interpretations of numerical results can be misleading 
and what can be done to allay such tendencies. Challenges in presenting the necessary mix
oftheory and applications in a typical undergraduate course are discussed. We also discuss a
list of tips and rules of thumb for applying the method in practice.Table of Contents: Preface
