AI Thread Summary
For beginners seeking resources on the finite element method (FEM), recommended books include "Building Better Products with Finite Element Analysis" by Adams et al. and "Introduction to Finite Element Methods" by Felippa. Users are encouraged to explore online tutorials and links for additional learning materials. A suggestion was made to conduct a Google search using specific terms to find previous discussions on Physics Forums related to FEM books. These resources aim to help beginners establish a solid foundation in the subject.

hi every one. can anyone suggest me a good book on finite element method? i am a beginner and want to clear my basics about the subject. online links and tutorials would also help.
thanks in advance.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Perhaps try:
(1) Adams, et al., Building better products with finite element analysis, OnWord Press, 1998.
(2) Felippa, Introduction to finite element methods[/color], University of Colorado, 2004.

Also try a google search such as the following, to investigate previous answers to this question on Physics Forums (PF).

thanks nvn. hope this will be useful.
 
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
