Concepts and applications of finite element analysis;: A treatment of the finite element method as used for the analysis of displacement, strain, and stress

by Robert Davis Cook

A structural mechanical approach to finite element analysis, now in a new edition. Contains over 750 problems (many of them new), introduces matrix methods early on and includes Fortran algorithms for solving numerous problems. Emphasis is physical and practical, rather than mathematical, and advanced topics such as nonlinear material behavior and structural dynamics are given comprehensive treatment.

Disappointing!...Not even a single solved problem in the book. Looks like this author has got a knack of making even the simple concepts look seemingly complex.
