Synopsis
Becoming a Finite Element Analyst: A Design-Model-Verify Approach helps students become solid finite element analysts through hands-on lessons. Rather than focusing on theory, the book uses an inverted approach. Students are first shown how to build finite element models of real engineering parts through increasingly complex examples and case studies. They are then introduced to the accompanying theory. The book is based on a design-model-verify approach that teaches three key skills. Students will make decisions required to convert a real part into an appropriately simplified model. They will correctly choose the element types and boundary conditions to best represent their model. They will successfully interpret simulation results to determine if the results are realistic and reasonable. The target skills in Becoming a Finite Element Analyst include stress analysis of solids, beams, shells, and assemblies; modal and bucking analysis; and nonlinear and thermal analysis. Each lesson highlights basic concepts to be built on as the book progresses and provides a corresponding homework assignment or mini-project. Becoming a Finite Element Analyst is suitable for senior-level undergraduate or beginning graduate courses in applied finite element methods., Helps students become solid finite element analysts through hands-on lessons.

Rebecca Dupaix earned her Ph.D. in mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dr. Dupaix is now an associate professor at Ohio State University where she teaches courses in statics, the mechanics of materials, applied finite element analysis, and continuum mechanics. She has won the student-accorded Above and Beyond Award as well as the Excellence in Teaching Award from the university's Mechanical Engineering Industrial Advisory Board. She is also a past recipient of the National Science Foundation's CAREER award for her research on the mechanical behavior of polymers and soft biological tissues.

    Overall, it went well. Good communication. I wanted the book to be shipped in a box, because the value and scarcity of the volume I purchased deserved it, however, the company is too large and I was informed the book would be shipped in a plastic mailer. Somehow it didn’t arrive very damaged, a little bump, but for the price I can’t complain. Over all I am satisfied, but if you’re a book collector, as I am, you may want to find another seller.

    This company has been, in my experience, a mixed bag. This title was NOT worth the price because it came with highlighting, ink underlineing & writing in the margins...not the quality that they advertised. I have on other occasions gotten books in great condition, however, that were listed in less than the condition advertised so it goes both ways...but I'd much prefer a company that delivers exactly what they advertise. I guess good help is hard to find. The book was well packaged & came fast.

    The shipping was quicker than I expected and book condition was exactly as advertised! Price I paid also was fair and reasonable so I could purchase. The appearance of the book showed no indication of tear or damage and book was wrapped very good and tight. I recommend this seller for his best customer service!
