While emphasizing problems in solid mechanics with numerous examples, this book explains the theory in four fundamental steps with a flow chart to develop equations for the finite element models and the associated computer programs. The theory is presented using energy principles in solid mechanics and towards the end, the methodology is explained using the weak-form of the Galerkin method so that the method can be used to solve flow problems and even some differential equations.
