Study Finite Element Methods: Books & Resources

AI Thread Summary
For those studying Finite Element Methods (FEM), J.N. Reddy's "Introduction to the Finite Element Method" is recommended as a general introduction that emphasizes continuum mechanics applications without being overly mathematical. The discussion highlights the importance of identifying specific interests within FEM, such as mathematics, numerics, or particular application fields. Participants express a need for resources that balance theoretical foundations with practical implementation. Additional recommendations for books and resources may vary based on individual focus areas within FEM. Engaging with these materials can significantly enhance understanding of FEM concepts and applications.

Hi ! What 'angle' are you interested in, mathematics of FEM, numerics & implementation or some specific field of application(s)? As a general introduction not too heavy on math and such, focusing on continuum mechanics applications, would first recommend J.N. Reddy's 'Introduction to the Finite Element Method'.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
