CHOICE Review

Chandrupatla develops finite element theory using both energy and Galerkin approaches to stiffness matrices, load matrices, and governing equations. One-, two-, and three-dimensional problems are treated using isoparametric elements. Accompanying the text is a 5.25-inch diskette containing computer programs that implement the finite element theory developed. The programs are written in BASIC, but versions are stored in text form. This book should interest civil and mechanical engineering graduate students. Its treatment is somewhat similar to the following recent finite element texts: David S. Burnett's Finite Element Analysis (CH, Oct'87), and William Weaver Jr. and Paul R. Johnston's Finite Elements for Structural Analysis (1984). However, Chandrupatla concentrates more on the analysis of trusses, beams, frames, and scalar field problems than on plates, shells, and two-dimensional initial value problems. Recommended for acquisition by graduate-level engineering libraries. -J. Veillette, Vanderbilt University
