A First Course in the Finite Element Method Using Algor

Based on the Second Edition (copyright 1992) of Daryl Logan's best-selling book, AA First Course in the Finite Element Method, this new book replaces the Second Edition's generic computer-based examples and problems with new ones based on the use of Algor, a popular FEM software package used by professionals and site-licensed by many leading engineering schools. Logan gears his text to undergraduate-level students who will use FEM and Algor to study practical physical problems of structural stress analysis and heat transfer.

Daryl L. Logan is Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. He received his Ph.D. in 1972 from the University of Illinois -- Chicago. He has been a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), Tau Beta Pi - National Honor Society, and the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE).
