The book on 'Finite Element Analysis' explains the basic concepts required for solving engineering problems of various types in diverse fields such as structural, heat transfer, fluid flow etc. It can be used by undergraduate and postgraduate students of mechanical engineering and its allied branches such as automobile engineering and aerospace engineering. It will also be useful to students pursuing civil and structural engineering. The book covers the entire course syllabus of finite element analysis in most universities. A large number of examples, taken from previous years question papers of various universities are solved for the benefit of students. The concepts have been well supported with excellent illustrations in abundance. Contents 1. Introduction to Finite Element Method 2. Variational and Weighted Residual Method 3.
