Finite Element Analysis of Solids and Structures combines the theory of elasticity (advanced analytical treatment of stress analysis problems) and finite element methods (numerical details of finite element formulations) into one academic course derived from the author’s teaching, research, and applied work in automotive product development as well as in civil structural analysis.
- Gives equal weight to theoretical details and FEA software use for problem solution by using finite element software packages
- Emphasizes understanding the deformation behavior of finite elements that directly affect the quality of actual analysis results
- Reduces focus on hand calculation of property matrices, thus freeing up time to do more software experimentation with different FEA formulations
- Includes dedicated chapters on the use of FEA models in engineering assessment for strength, fatigue, and structural vibration properties
- Features an easy to follow format for guided learning and slides covering the full contents of the book to facilitate classroom teaching
This textbook contains twelve discrete chapters that can be covered in a single semester university graduate course on finite element analysis methods. It also serves as a reference for practicing engineers working on design assessment and analysis of solids and structures.

Dr. Sudip Bhattacharjee is a technical specialist for vehicle crashworthiness working in automotive industry, a former university faculty member, and a researcher with 30+ years of hands-on experience in finite element analysis of solids and structures. He has been teaching the subject to graduate students at the University of Windsor, Ontario, intermittently for the past 20 years, and to the students at the University of Michigan, Dearborn, for 5 years. A finite element analysis program, developed by Dr. Bhattacharjee during Ph.D. and post-doctoral research, was subsequently used by many research students in fracture response analysis of concrete dams.
