Finite Element Analysis for Stress Analysis

by Robert Davis Cook

Oriented toward those who will use finite elements (FE) rather than toward theoreticians and computer programmers. Emphasizes the behavior of FE and how to use the FE method successfully. Includes several examples of FE analysis—each one features a critique of the accuracy of the solutions. Contains end-of-chapter exercises and extensive advice about FE modeling.

Great book on FEA. Suitable for intermediate students. I read "Practical Stress Analysis with Fintie Elements" by Mac Donald first, then I read this book. Really worth having if you are doing a lot of FEA work - as I was for my masters degree.
