Reviews

“This book is intended for a course on the finite element method for linear static and dynamic structure problems. It consists of eight chapters. … The book may be useful for those interested in doing finite element simulations of linear problems in solid mechanics and structures.” (Weimin Han, Mathematical Reviews, May, 2016)
