Introduction to
Finite Element Analysis Using MATLAB® and Abaqus
“A very good introduction to the finite element method with a balanced treatment of
theory and implementation.”
— F. Albermani, Reader in Structural Engineering,
The University of Queensland, Australia
There are some books that target the theory of the finite element, while others focus
on the programming side of things. Introduction to Finite Element Analysis Using
MATLAB® and Abaqus accomplishes both. This book teaches the first principles of
the finite element method. It presents the theory of the finite element method while
maintaining a balance between its mathematical formulation, programming implemen-
tation, and application using commercial software. The computer implementation is
carried out using MATLAB, while the practical applications are carried out in both
MATLAB and Abaqus. MATLAB is a high-level language specially designed for dealing
with matrices, making it particularly suited for programming the finite element meth-
od, while Abaqus is a suite of commercial finite element software.
Introduction to Finite Element Analysis Using MATLAB® and Abaqus introduces
and explains theory in each chapter, and provides corresponding examples. It offers
introductory notes and provides matrix structural analysis for trusses, beams, and
frames. The book examines the theories of stress and strain and the relationships be-
tween them. The author then covers weighted residual methods and finite element ap-
proximation and numerical integration. He presents the finite element formulation for
plane stress/strain problems, introduces axisymmetric problems, and highlights the
theory of plates. The text supplies step-by-step procedures for solving problems with
Abaqus interactive and keyword editions. The described procedures are implemented
as MATLAB codes, and Abaqus files can be found on the CRC Press website.
