The Finite Element Method: Its Basis and Fundamentals

Rating:
Summary: An all time classic
Review: From the masters of the finite element method, this may well be the best book ever written on the subject. In this book, the authors come across as the sages of ancient India preaching what they know is the best, guiding us, and setting a stage of research for the years to come. This is a monumental piece of work in the history of engineering.

Summary: The milestone in FE analysis
Review: This book is really THE milestone, the only one I really enjoy. A page-turner, a must for all people into FE stuff.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent book for starters in the field
Review: This is the ideal book for beginners in finite elements, though the approach is slightly more theoretical. If you have a good background in linear algebra and are comfortable with matrices etc, you should have no trouble finishing this one. You can aim at the definitive work by Professor Bathe after finishing this one.
