Finite Element Analysis Fundamental
Finite Element Analysis: Fundamentals by Richard H. Gallagher provides a rigorous and structured introduction to the theoretical basis and practical implementation of the finite element method (FEM). The book covers the essential principles of discretization, variational methods, element formulation, interpolation functions, and the assembly of system equations. Gallagher emphasizes the mathematical foundations of FEM while demonstrating its application to structural mechanics, elasticity, heat transfer, and other continuum problems. Through clear derivations, illustrative examples, and systematic procedures, the text equips engineering students
